You can’t even be silent anymore.

That's because Trump is Hitler!!! And if Swift doesn't stand up against him (particularly as she is on the cusp of releasing her long-awaited new album) then, clearly, she is a Nazi.

Now the left has upped the ante. You can’t even be silent anymore.

That's a good thing. If you are going to be demonized for nothing, you might as well jump on the politically incorrect, alt-right, bandwagon.

No more softball, no more spectators.

Wait, are they trying to prove a negative AGAIN?

By not screaming from the rooftops that Taylor is indentured to Chairman Hillary she is automatically a Trump supporter?

Liberal logic at it's best.

True heirs to Mao's cultural revolution.

Kind of like saying if you don’t scream support for Kim John Ill, you will be sent to the Gulags.

Has our side EVER, throughout history, demanded something like that?

Swift’s dilemma reminds me of the prison scene in the movie `American History X’ where Edward Norton’s neo-Nazi character becomes disillusioned with the whole “Heil myself” life-style, partly from working with a black guy and also seeing a fellow Aryan Brotherhood inmate selling drugs.
So he fails to return a Hitler salute and winds up getting gang raped by his pals.

The left demands their Hitler salute, Taylor says, “Nein, danke.”
When the left calls us fascists, it’s pure projection.

She probably read Laura Ingraham's Shut Up and Sing.

Quick! Someone hack Taylor Swift's Amazon account and see what books she's been reading!

Just kidding, sheesh!

If she is for President Trump, then good for her!

Nevertheless, I suspect it’s probably more to do with she does not want to alienate her base.

Leftist are so desperate right now.

I know for the most part actors like Tom Hanks is a Leftist. Although for the most part he is quiet compared to other actors. I believe Tom does not want to alienate his fan base. My guess is that is Taylor Swift’s approach or she is simply not political.

This has significantly raised my opinion of Taylor Swift; that she at least has the brains to stay out of a fight that would profit her nothing, and perhaps cost her a lot.

Apparently both her parents are smart as well, and guided her carefully to have a career, not just a few hits.

Too bad all musicians and actors don’t take that advice.

Michael Jordan supposedly observed that Republicans, as well as Democrats, buy shoes.

She’s not my cup of tea, but Ms. Swift likely realizes that Republicans, as well as Democrats, purchase music.

Taylor Swift is the biggest selling American music artist of the past decade. I'm sure talent has a lot to do with it but I think the fact that she has not "pissed off half her customer base" plays a big factor as well.

I'd like to think Taylor Swift voted for Trump but I have no need to know for sure. So keep on singing Taylor!

wow. now, not properly or enthusiastically endorsing the “correct” set of beliefs is cause for criticism.

thought crime can’t be far behind.

It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself--anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face (to look incredulous when a victory was announced, for example) was itself a punishable offence. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: FACECRIME, it was called.

I know Taylor isn’t country any more, but when I started becoming a country fan, just a few years ago, the stars were unabashedly conservative with their humor at their awards shows. I’ll be honest: that was one of the draws for me!!! Now, NOTHING. 1% of older country singers has come out pro Trump. All the hot stars are DEAD SILENT. No defense of American values, no little digs at Obama or the Clintons... it’s like the whole industry has been told to Not Make Trouble. I’m really disappointed that conservatives today have to live like gays in the 1950s.

It does seem to be a game amongst celebrities to see which one can say the most outlandish things against Trump.

It's like North Korea, where if you don't cry hard enough when "Dear Leader" dies, you will be arrested.
