That is great to hear. Do you know if she was into liberalism before taking this conservative turn, or was she neutral? Just wondering if this was a conversion or a first awakening, so to speak. David Horowitz is one of my favorite conversion stories, btw.

I couldn’t name one song that...

Irrelevant.

YOU may not know any of Taylor Swift's songs but 100 million present and future voters do.

But I'm glad that YOU don't know any of her songs. This makes us all feel much better.

Sheesh. 100 million of them. 1 of you. Dang I'm relieved.

She does nothing important.

Well, she's single-handedly killing her career. We can thank her for that, at least.....................

“technically she sings country music, not rock”

Not true. She started in Country. Then she had some crossover hits. But now she is pretty much Pop/Rock exclusively.

Then I stand corrected, I haven’t heard any of her music in years and I returned to my roots of heavy metal. LOL

Only because she thinks people will vote the way wants.

She’s only doing this, hypocritically, because her fans ARENT voting the way she wants. She’s not for more voting participation at all.

I guess she figured out the she had better kowtow to the liggibbets who are probably those most likely to buy the stuff she’s selling.

Their side has Jon Stewart, Steven Colbert, and every other late night entertainer.

Their side has 95% of outspoken entertainers in television and movies.

Their side has 95% of outspoken entertainers in music.

Their side does entertainment which attracts tens of millions of viewers, who get a bit of politics and world-view thrown in. They do NOT refer to themselves as liberal.

Their side does news, but does not refer to it as liberal.

Our side does almost zero entertainment (relatively) and when we do news, we always lable it conservative.

1. Let’s stop being stupid, create some entertainment, and add our worldview as an unhighligted add-on to the entertainment.

2. Let’s stop labelling our news as conservative. Just call it news.

3. Let’s stop being reactionary and start being aggressive and clever.

She was too young to be into either conservatism or liberalism. Last thing I knew she was "in to" was K-Pop, which she is still huge on.

Her older sister was (I thought) tending toward conservatism before she spent four years at an (ivy league) college. Now she's a liberal, although not what I would call a far-leftist.

The younger sister, like my daughter, has been exposed to the liberal "full monty" since an early age. One of the close friends in their circle "came out" as a boy a few years back; her trajectory has been very sad, as you might expect. Everyone in my daughter's friend group is well aware of that situation.

Her older sister grew up in the 1990s, and so wasn't as internet-saturated as the typical suburban millennial.

Here's another thing. I asked her "so how many of your friends at (insert name of high school here) are conservative" and she said "two." I said "what percentage of your total friends is that?" and she said "all."

Then I said "well, how many kids at (insert high school name) are conservative?" and she said "not that many."

I said "well, give me a percentage? Two percent? Five percent"?

She looked a little puzzled, and said "about half."

Will it be sung to the tune of “Get Physical?” I might like it then.

Be Careful. We’ve got a fan here who apparently knows everything about her, and is very sensitive to criticism of her.
