Replace the old women that reliably voted R with young, pissed off, and engaged young ones that vote D.

The inability of MAGA and Donny not to attack Swift - in abusive, deplorable personal ways that are obviously misogynistic - would have an ancillary effect on the large non-deplorable voting demographic as well.

Every Democratic candidate could ask their opponent if they renounce the horrible attacks on Miss Swift for urging everyone to register and vote. They can’t do that. MAGA DNA and all. 

We don’t need MAGA Republicans to change their ways, we need a small number of former Republican independents holding their noses just one time and voting for Biden. 

 

This is the impact.  It’s not so much her saying “vote Biden” but the distraction for Dotard and MAGA when they try to go after a pop star and further display their idiocy.

Maybe. But there are thousands (maybe more) long-time Swift fans who are eligible to vote for the first time this year like my 18-year-old daughter. She can't wait to vote against that orange piece of shit.

Exactly.  My friends daughters said every sorority on campus have registered to vote and can't wait to vote for the first time.

Apparently Travis shouldn't be underestimated either; NY Post & NY Times both with articles. Two quotes below.

Quote

Now, fans are looking to score his signature ‘do, flocking to local barbershops to demand the low skin fade — or nearly bald on the sides and ever so slightly longer on the top — and touting their fresh trims online, calling it “the Travis Kelce.”

Quote

Not since Jennifer Aniston has a haircut become so popular. Barbers, in America and abroad, are being inundated with requests for “the Travis Kelce.”

If the fact that they won’t condemn his sexual assault, his numerous other felonies, his insurrection and attempted coup, his ludicrous actual presidency that we all lived through, and all the other shit he’s done doesn’t matter to people, are we really going with, “My goodness, can you imagine how upset people will be if Republicans don’t condemn Donald Trump for writing a mean tweet about Taylor Swift?!?!”

I mean, maybe that is what moves the needle, because this is America, and we are what we are.  But the people who are actually engaged enough to vote already have way more important data points to consider or willfully ignore as they see fit.  

And a Trump-Swift feud might still be too high brow for the 18 year old completely disengaged nonvoting block.  I just listened to the two teens working the registers at the grocery store discussing the “beef” between two made up sounding people I’ve never heard of, that I assume are TikTok influencers,  as though it was the biggest news story since Watergate.  So, good luck with all that.

Yup, Trump could label Swift a rancid-cunted whore and it wouldn't change a single Trump voters mind. Sure, a few like might furrow their brow in a Collins-esque display, but they will still shrug their shoulders and vote for orange jesus. Thats not how cults work, you dont question the leader. But I do think Swift's influence could motivate a few to vote who ordinarily wouldn't bother, which in the right states could have a non-trivial effect.

Oh the teenage girls claiming to be overtime, union auto workers On a school day wasn’t a dead giveaway?  Shocked.  Shocked I tell you!

i honestly don’t know how to further digest the stupidity of these people.  All I can do is acknowledge my own prize lack of imagination.  Maybe I’ll grow as a person as a result, probably not but worth a try

1) you may have missed the fact that I was not talking about a demographic of Trump base fans changing their minds. 

2) It does seem that over time more independents and Bush style Republicans are souring on him, and if not outright hatred of Trump, there certainly seems to be a diminishing enthusiasm for voting for him.

3) We all know that historically the demographic that votes less as a percentage is the youth vote.  Youth are far less Trump friendly. An increase in youth voting can be a serious factor in close elections when they tend to adopt Democratic views on things like abortion and how you treat gays and women

4) I might be fuller of shit than even my normal, but it seems to me in these “find me 11,000 votes” type elections that a bunch of pissed off young women could play a significant role in registration and turn out, potentially changing the election results. Of course I agree with you that attacking Swift will not change a single MAGA supporter’s opinion of Trump.  

But elections aren’t decided by how many people like or don’t like a candidate. They are decided by those who turn out and vote.  This is not a like or don’t like thing.  This is more an energized turnout thing.

Were they always this way and I just didn't realize just how fucked up they were? I can't imagine my great uncles and grandfather fighting Nazis coming home with support for destroying democracy.

A huge amount of them came home from fighting Nazis and devoted their time supporting segregation.    This really isn’t that much different.

It's such a hard pill to swallow but I can't disagree.

So I will go stand with the ghosts of Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie.

I would like to think that my WWII vet grandparents would have called bullshit on Trump, but they died before they had the opportunity to express that opinion.

At least we could pretend Huey Long’s or Andrew Jackson’s supporters must have been desperate or didn’t know better instead of seeing it play out in real time and realizing, “Oh, they actually just like how he fucks over people they’re mad at, and they don’t care about anything else.  Welp.”

Narrator: The people they’re mad at turned out to be Cherokee…

Huey Long didn’t get as much support as Trump, but he still had a sizable following.  He was basically the same shamelessly corrupt and amoral would be dictator as Trump, except (a) he was smarter and (b) he died much sooner. 

Huey Long was corrupt as fuck but his childhood was much much different from Trump's. While he certainly committed crimes while in office, he at least produced a lot of tangible good for the state of Louisiana and the poor of that state. At least if I'm remembering right the bio I read of him a decade ago. He definitely wasn't an actual fascist like Trump.

Yeah. Napoleon did a lot of good too. Hitler build the autobahn. 

Which reminds me of reading a letter somewhere from a guy who joined a Nazi work labor group to patriotically go and build the autobahn with a bunch of other true believer German laborers. This was pre war. The upshot was “I can’t believe how bad these Nazi labor guys are treating us! If the Fuhrer only knew I’m sure he’d put a stop to it! Can you help me get a message to him?!” It was that period’s “I can’t believe leopards would eat MY face” expression.

History rhyming again and all.

I guess this is where the "leadership" aspect of being POTUS lies.  Most of them tend to bring out our better nature, at least a little bit, with their speechifying and stuff.

Trump goes directly and immediately for the worst nature of people in just about everything he does.

It doesn’t really follow the theme, I just thought it needed saying.
