It’s a possibility.

I’m voting for Trump this November. I’m being realistic and hoping for the best. Maybe he’ll shock the world the second time. But probably not.

As will I.

And even if he wins, I'm not expecting much.

Unfortunately, four years will go by quick.

About this author, though my beliefs dictates that I disclose this is from Wikipedia, so I take it with a huge grain of salt:

Richard Hanania is an American political science researcher and right-wing political commentator. Hanania is the founder and president of the think tank Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology (CSPI).

Known for expressing culturally conservative positions, his writing has been described as overtly racist. Between 2008 and the early 2010s Hanania wrote for alt-right and white supremacist publications under the pseudonym Richard Hoste. He acknowledged and disavowed his writing under the pseudonym when it was reported in 2023, though others have cast doubt on whether Hanania has in fact abandoned racist beliefs.

As I read that, it sounds as perhaps he may have indeed espoused racist beliefs, because he doesn't deny that claim. Instead he disavowed his writing.

Look at all those photos. Some people may disagree with me, but except for one or two where she is smiling, every photo has exactly the same facial expression as if she’s a freakin’ mannequin! What is the hell is with that? Is she even alive? It’s creepy as hell.

I'm a #FormerTrumper.

Now you are a Never-Trumper.

What has made you a #FormerTrumper? Is it the fact that you believe he lost three straight elections for Republicans?

What will be her Carbon Footprint trying to get to the Super Bowl, then back to Australia for the next leg of the tour then back to the U.S. for the Grammy Awards.

Honestly, it started when he demanded the Scotty Pruitt's resignation as head of the EPA for the offense of making liberals cry. That's when I first realized that Trump's MAGA was BS All talk, no action.

Then came the bump stock ban. I sure as hell didn't vote for that.

There was Trump's refusal to fight back during the Mueller investigation. He was a human punching bag.

And then, there was the Covid disaster of 2020 where he spent trillions of dollars in stimulus, signed Pelosi's CARES Act, handed the country over to Fauci, Operation Warpspeed, sucked up to Pfizer, and on and on.

Sure, losing three elections was part of it but I'd already soured on Trump.

I voted for him in 2020, but with much less enthusiasm than I did in 2016.

And in 2024 I'll vote for him with all the enthusiasm that I had when I voted for Mitt Romney in 2012.

It might not be a good idea for her to start campaigning for Biden, and alienate half of the country, with many of those people being paying customers of hers.

She has no choice.

So she'll just say "Yay Biden!" And then change the subject. Maybe talk about #87 from Kansas City.

I believe she is teachable.

Swift was raised a Gentry-class Country Club Republican. It's in her DNA.

That's why her newfound wokeness (after being threatened with cancellation by the Left) feels so fake and manufactured.

“...Republicans have lost the popular vote in 7 of the last 8 presidential elections...”

90 million foreign born voters in the USA will tend to that. These leaches will vote for the party that gives them the most government welfare. Once the electorate votes themselves the treasury, the end is near.

Yes, the American empire will soon collapse. It is coming. But by all means, lets keep bringing in millions more and vote for democrat utopia.

Well, political parties or factions picking fights with celebrities (if that’s what’s going on here) is stupid, but most of Taylor Swift fans are young women who, if they can vote at all, will likely vote for Democrats.

Sorry, but I don’t see 50 year old married women going to Taylor Swift concerts and voting for Biden because some Republicans or conservatives put Taylor down. That’s not her fan base.

And of course, Swift’s fanbase isn’t likely to come into contact with people who demean her because of politics. It’s the media that is creating the situation by reporting on random tweets and blogposts as if they were something more significant.

It’s hard to believe anybody is seriously hating on Travis Kelce because of his ads, but the nature of sports is such that if you put down an athlete, people who root for other teams may well be won over to your side.

Maybe, but a lot of those gentry-class country club Republicans voted for Biden and they don't see anything strange about it.

I highly doubt Scott Swift (Taylor's dad) voted for Biden. He was posting anti-immigrant memes on his Facebook account back in 2019, before he deleted his entire profile.

Thank insane tyrants ted kennedy and LBJ for open borders and the new national religion of “diversity”, which can never be questioned.

"I'm not a #NeverTrumper.

I'm a #FormerTrumper.

There's a difference.

Nice little semantic distinction (without an significant practical difference, to avoid answering the question.

Did you or did you not in the past post the opinion that white suburban women would not vote for Trump?
