Links at the source but Hanania pretty much summed it up in his subtitle: Conservatives are losing the "don't be weirdos" contest

In other words, Taylor Swift's almost entirely white fanbase would be natural Republicans regardless of who Swift herself endorses. It goes without saying that if a white Millennial woman is listening to Taylor Swift and not, say, Ice Spice or Cardi B., she's probably more likely to vote Republican than not.

Keep this in mind:

Another BS article that offers NO account for massive VOTE FRAUD by the millions, in addition to the MILLIONS of illegals and “immigrants” voting overwhelmingly for Democrats. Americans are conservative/normal, but have been effectively disenfranchised.

Lol, once again the GOP line, that if conservatives don’t win, it’s the fault of conservative voters.

Hanania has written for The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Atlantic, and Quillette. […]

Hanania grew up in Oak Lawn, Illinois. He is of Palestinian Christian descent. …
Right; let’s take him seriously just because . . . ??

Not buying the premise and the author is an idiot.

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.

“...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.

Interesting, but an impotent acknowledgement that conservatism has become completely discredited and has been purged from every institution. That is a fundamental shift which all but guarantees a comfortable election victory in 2024 for the Democrats.

There should be a mental competency test for voters.

This whole article is drivel. Based on a false premise.
No one I know is “freaking out” over Taylor Swift, or her politics. Or Travis Kelsey.

Many are wondering why it is such a big deal that Taylor Swift is dating Mr. Kelsey. That’s about it. The Swift fans are the ones who are making this a big deal. Kelsey fans couldn’t care less.

Usual B.S. Make a false statement as fact.

Taylor Swift and Mr Pfizer are Deep State tools.
