He fumed in another all-caps post that "THE CHILDLESS, UNMARRIED ABORTION ARMY MOBILIZED BY BARBIE, TAYLOR SWIFT, AND TIKTOK" was "CRUSHING REPUBLICANS AT THE BALLOT BOX."
It's either a very dedicated imposter or the real deal which would mean Margot Robbie is a giant nerd. I choose the latter option but would not be surprised by the former.
You know that it's like super creepy to impersonate a celebrity like that. Get a hobby.
Edit: And here I thought Lemmy was different. But nope, thoughtless novelty accounts already being deified. This shit isn’t even clever, it’s just a "hot celebrity’s" name. Wow.
Lazy, uninspired, and just not funny. There's nothing creative or interesting in making your username "Margot Robbie" and having people fawn all over you. It's probably a middle aged dude.
I guess I'm the only one who finds that creepy. I imagine Margot herself probably would too.
But go ahead and validate some weird fucking dude cosplaying as a celebrity (who, remember, is a real actual person).
Lemme, like the rest of the internet, is pretty ass. There's not much that can be done at this point. I try to step back and just view it as a way to understand human nature when given total freedom and anonymity
Yep, if "more people voting" makes you furious then you just might be reaching the level of mustache-twirling cartoon villainy.
Don't want to keep losing elections, conservatives? Adopt better policies. Nominate qualified candidates. And for fuck sake kick out the god damn nazis.
I would be interested to hear that they officially adopted any policies at all, it seems to be, "elect more of us so there are more of us so we can continue to try to elect more of us" the last person from the right wing I heard try to push a policy while running for office died 5 years ago
They very much are. They openly gerrymander and openly wonder why the Democrats don't. They interviewed the guy that started it and he's literally confused why it wasn't done by the Democrats.
If Taylor Swift wanted to stage a coup, I don't think even the US military could stop the Swifties. God help us if the Swifties ever team up with the K-Pop Stans.
Well, after all it couldn't POSSIBLY their horrific policies, or their proud racism, or thier proud nationalism, or their hate for the LGBTQIA+, or their stance of abortion, or birth control, or wanting to outlaw divorce, or them wanting to leave people starving in the streets.
No, it must be some other thing causing their losses.
Also how pathetic is it, that seasoned career criminals eeh politicians and propagandists lose to checks notes a pop musician whosse main topic is her ex boyfriends?
Sadly, while abortion is a losing issue for them, their racist politicians are often winning in the same ballots that abortion is being protected on. Conservative women will protect their right to abortions but still happily vote for racism at the same time.
That's what these guys are missing. They are losing on abortion because enough Republicans care more about their own rights than about racism. Lucky for them, the ballot measures mean they don't have to choose. They can protect abortion back home and keep on sending fascists to Washington.
"Taylor Swift is going to come out in the presidential election and she is going to mobilize her fans," Kirk warned his viewers on Wednesday, adding, "And we're going to be like, 'Oh wow, where did all these young, female voters come from?' We better have a plan for that."
Kirk acknowledging a) the party does not attempt to represent young women and b) the current plan is that they hopefully just don't vote.
No, the current plan is not that "they hopefully just don't vote." The plan is to actively prevent them from voting through various forms of suppression. They're not just sit around waiting to see what happens.
TBH, actively trying to suppress voters isn't even the worst of it. The next step is making sure that it doesn't even matter if they do.
You know, like they already do. Source: Am in Ohio. There are already public statements from officials that they are trying to dilute/overrule/ignore the results of our vote to legalize abortion and weed. And that's even outside things like gerrymandering.
"Republicans still haven't internalized that the Left promotes abortion as a pro-feminism issue. They aren't voting to kill babies, they're voting bc of feminist movies like Barbie and pop stars like Taylor Swift influencing an army of voters," Posobiec wrote.
If they are surprised about the connection between the abortion issue and women's rights... wow. Are they really racking their brains to figure out why "killing babies" is a popular position? How stupid are these people?
If I had a penny for every time in the past day or so I read "nuttier than squirrel …" I would have two pennies, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
There used to be a tv advert for a chocolate bar called Topic. You can watch it here. Memes in those days used to travel by word of mouth but kids up and down the country were encouraged by older brothers and sisters to yell 'Squirrel shit' in answer to the sung prompt, "What has a hazelnut in every bite?"
My conservative neighbor is convinced in a conspiracy theory that TSwifty dating Travis Kelce is a scheme to get people to get the COVID vaccine. I wish I was joking, but he's 100% serious.
I still don't understand how these magats and conservative conspiracy theorists can think Covid was some deep state attempt at thought control when Trump was the one who takes all the credit for the vaccine
Even less credible than the Chiefs fan I know who has theorized that she's scheming to break his heart at some point during the playoffs in order to cost the team a Superbowl run.
I don't think he's serious, but I'm not 100% sure about it.
The vaccine is part of some sinister government plot (to do what, only be knows).
Kelce was in a commercial promoting the vaccine, obviously he's working closely with the government for nefarious purposes.
Kelce isn't popular with young women. Enter T Swifty.
Rather than simply have Tay Tay star in her own vaccine commercials, the government decided to have her date Kelce and therefore increase his popularity with her fanbase, therefore making them get the vaccine.
Her music is mid but if she manages to shift the electorate left even a few degrees I’ll be the biggest Swiftie ever. As a 45 year old divorced guy I realize this will be incredibly creepy but it’s worth it.
Oh she's absolutely shifted it. Telling people to register to vote, to go vote. She's had an impact.
It's really interesting too. If I remember right, she said in a pandemic era interview that she was told to not go political in country music. She came to realize though she needed to say something -- she was rather disturbed by the far right claiming her as an Aryan goddess or something. A gay friend of hers also encouraged her to use her platform to promote gay rights.
Long story short though, she's realized the importance of speaking out, and her newer songs talk about gender norms and how she's expected to be a wife and all that. She's a really interesting person!
And I'm a 29 year old dude, just accept the Swiftness into your soul
As a 45 year old divorced guy I realize this will be incredibly creepy but it’s worth it.
It wouldn't really be that weird if you became a Swiftie lol. I think a lot of people who aren't already fans of Taylor Swift may be forgetting she's been famous for almost twenty years... Most (but not all) people attending the Eras tour and going to see the concert movie are millennial women in their 30s.
Here in my country, it's not hard to find male Swifties your age. Not really surprising since we're the first country in 2022 to have Cruel Summer back in our charts, several months before it went #1 in USA.
I am pretty much the same demographic as you, and firmly not her target audience. But when she rerecorded her entire back catalogue to stiff some record industry creep, that was punk as fuck and I'm down for it.
Taylor Swift shit in my pants, drank all of my wife's skim milk, and told my boss to fuck off after forgetting I had a presentation on Monday. How or why she keeps doing these things to me, I'll never noknow.
She's here in Argentina on a triple full stadium event, she endorsed not to vote for the libertarian world bank puppet with neonazi rhetoric, in the elections to her millions of fans, now swiftties and kpop fan joined forces against the new fascist movement
She has straight up super (hero/villain) powers at this point. Her net worth is more than that of many small countries, and has caused earthquakes with the sound of her voice. I certainly would think twice before taking her on.
It's appropriate that the GOP and their ilk were quite happy to harm the careers of the Dixie Chicks for speaking out against them and that they should then allegedly suffer negative consequences at the hands of another singer.
"THE CHILDLESS, UNMARRIED ABORTION ARMY MOBILIZED BY BARBIE, TAYLOR SWIFT, AND TIKTOK" was "CRUSHING REPUBLICANS AT THE BALLOT BOX."
Oooorrrr this is the first election since the "just balls and strikes, totally not bribed" supreme court dismantled basic privacy protections for half the population of our country.
This is the 21st century version of witch burning, and I’m not even kidding. Far-right circles have been screeching about how she’s an actual witch whose concerts are satanic rituals because of some throw-away line she said at a recent concert, and since their movement is ordained by god or whatever of course they could only lose if the witch cursed them.
I wish I was kidding, but that’s really what they’re saying. If this was a small town, they’d be pressing her to death at the next moon.
How is this insanity mainstream? It’s crazy. They’re crazy people.
I was so scared about Ohio and had a lot of guilt. I moved within state four months ago and my registration has still not been updated after mailing in multiple forms and trying to get it sorted out before the deadline. I’m fairly livid and didn’t feel comfortable voting at my registered polling location since I have a new address. I was told updating your voting record was quick and easy. What a bunch of shit.
If there's any amount of causation to this, sign me up as a tay-tay fan.
If this is just more Travis& Taylor drama, stfu and let them just dribble, or whatever bs rhetoric they were spouting last time they thought Pop culture figures were causing too much drama for their liking.
Taylor Swift tells her fans to go vote. Not for who, just that they should. She's been consistently doing so for years.
I don't really care for her in the slightest, but the woman has got her shit squared and stowed, and doesn't promote hate. So honestly this criticism rings rather hollow.
