Arggghhhhh… The MAGA assclowns cannot let this go so neither can we. There is something grotesquely fascinating about their collective inability to stop ruminating about the woman and the potential threat she poses politically, but what it is exactly escapes us. Maybe contrasting it with something like Trump’s legal issues for example where they’re not happy about them at all but at least the whole “Deep State is out to get him” is a way of making some semblance of peace with which they would rather not contemplate: That their messiah is a criminal and a rapist.
With Swift it’s that a pop star could help swing the election by mobilizing her fans and that there’s no way of squaring that with their worldview that there are a lot of Americans out there that really don’t give a shit about their grievances. That’s extremely disturbing to people who are already deeply insecure and this search for something, anything, to quell the unease with that reality continues apace. Like you can kind of tell even Vivek Ramaswamy doesn’t believe his earlier bullshit about the Super Bowl being somehow rigged, tweeting “What the MSM calls a ‘conspiracy theory’ is often nothing more than an amalgam of incentives hiding in plain sight. Once you see that, the rest becomes pretty obvious,” on Monday afternoon. Since when the fuck did a confident MAGA bro like him feel the need to explain himself? This shit coming from the “own the libs” crew is just sad.
Funny too, especially the way Alina Habba compared herself favorably to Swift in an Instagram post.
