Taylor Swift has shattered virtually every major record in the music industry, and as she lives her best life supporting her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, she’s also breaking the brains of right-wingers.
For months now, the digital fever swamps have been fuming over everything and anything Swift-related. Her popularity, the success of the Eras Tour, her relationship, her appearances at NFL games, and especially her politics. The Chiefs won the AFC championship on Sunday, punching the team’s (and potentially Swift’s) ticket to the Super Bowl in February. In response, long-standing conspiracy theories around the NFL’s “scriptwriting” for football seasons clashed with right-wing conspiracy theorists claiming Swift’s involvement with Kelce is part of a deep state plot to gin up support for President Joe Biden in the 2024 election. The result is as ugly as it is stupid.
Former presidential candidate and MAGA blowhard Vivek Ramaswamy tweeted on Monday that he wondered “who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month,” adding, “I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall. Just some wild speculation over here, let’s see how it ages over the next 8 months.”
Unfortunately they can multitask
I’m not sure if they can even task…
You can’t just take the position “all Republicans are stupid and inept” because importantly they’re not.
They’re very effective at spinning propaganda for their base of support. Theyre incredibly effective at riling people up.
They can spin a ridiculous narrative like this and plan another insurrection simultaneously.
It’s just short-sighted pseudo solutions to often made-up problems.

I know this isn’t constructive, but I’m already having a shit day and arrogant lazy-think people are just tipping me over…
