How thoroughly extirpated our institutions have become of conservatism can be seen from the simple fact that even a completely banal, anodyne musical pop act is unapologetically left-wing progressive in its political pronouncements. Entertainment, in all its forms, across the spectrum, has been purged of conservatism.
Taylor Swift tried to stay out of politics and then she was singled out and called a Nazi-sympathizer for not speaking out. "Silence is violence" they told her. She was particularly criticized for not formally endorsing Hillary in 2016. By the midterms of 2018, she had bent the knee and embraced every leftist platform.
Funny though, Swift didn't get all the liberal talking points and in April 2020, she called the Soros family "shamelessly greedy" after her catalogue sold. Someone forgot to tell her that George Soros is a liberal icon and above criticism.
True dat.
