Taylor Swift- One of Joe Biden's most brilliant and insidiously effective "psyops"
The incels on the Far-Right just can't "Shake it Off" because they've been seeing "Red" since "1989" and they know "All Too Well" that she's "Fearless" (I'll stop now)
Don’t confuse selfishness and stupidity with malice. People seldom consider the consequences of their impulsive actions.

I'm calm," Rachel insisted. "Every time I'm around you, some monsters attack us. What's to be nervous about?"
"Look," I said. "I'm sorry about the band room. I hope they didn't kick you our or anything."
"Nah. They asked me a lot of questions about you. I played dumb."
"Was it hard?" Annabeth asked.

America is now aflame with speculation over whether Taylor Swift will return from her last “Eras Tour” show in Japan in time to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, in the Super Bowl on Feb. 11. I’ve read speculation about how it’s a 13-hour flight from Japan to Las Vegas, and that will put her into Las Vegas on Saturday night, and…why do we even care??
Well, for one thing, it’s fun listening to incels on the Far-Right losing their shit over the Swift-Kelce relationship as if it’s any of their business. I did hear one explanation yesterday, which summed it up beautifully, so I thought I’d pass it along.
Travis Kelce is modeling the Alpha Male behavior that incels claim for themselves but are inherently incapable. Because of this, they spend their energy tearing down people like Kelce out of rage and jealousy. Taylor Swift is a proxy who represents the strong, accomplished, attractive women these incels will never come close to having, and so they insult, degrade, and demean her. They need to do so to make women like Swift seem less desirable and make the reality that they will never have women like her less painful.
Both Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are at the top of their respective games- fabulously talented, ridiculously wealthy, respected by their peers, and extremely popular…and so they’re hated by the incels on the Far-Right who will never accomplish anything with their lives.
Sorry to say, but we are in for two solid weeks of America’s weirdest, most oversensitive, most easily frightened citizens being in histrionics 24/7 over the Kansas City Chiefs, AKA Travis Kelce and his MVP Taylor Swift, going to the Super Bowl. Their squirrel brains are so twisted by this that Twitter is full of MAGA wingnuts begging people to support the San Francisco Values 49ers over the Midwestern team from Real America.
Yesterday we had a roundup of part of the meltdown, replete with conspiracy theories about how Taylor Swift has rigged the Jewish Space Lasers to make all the footballs endorse Joe Biden at halftime. (Or something.)
And we still have almost two weeks remaining for the silliness to be ramped up to full ridiculousness.
Perhaps if Peter Pantsload and the Bullshit Brigades could concentrate on getting their own houses in order…nah, that would require a degree of self-awareness wholly absent on the Far-Right. It would also take effort and the willingness to quit blaming others for their shortcomings, which is also characteristically absent among self-righteous patriots.
[W]e have some Fox News, which spent a lot of time on this [Monday].
Please, please, please, they are begging Taylor Swift fans, please do not listen to her. The way of Taylor Swift is death, whereas the way of Fox News and the white supremacist unfuckable Nazi pig garbage that watches it — especially the criminal they’ve selected to run for president — is life.
We’ll start with Fox News and Outkick.com idiot Charly Arnolt just absolutely begging Swifties not to vote the way Taylor Swift says, please, please, please. (Outkick.com, you will be surprised to learn, is not a sports website that mostly focuses on crotch shots of dude soccer players. No, instead, it’s sports for white conservatives who cry unvaccinated cuck tears when they see Taylor Swift on TV during football games.)
One of the most amusing- and cute- qualities of the maroons on Far-Right propaganda outlets is the amount of power they grant to Taylor Swift. They seem to believe she’s Wonder Woman who has the power to give good, God-fearing, White Conservative Christian Cisgender Heterosexual males painful boners whenever she appears on their TV screens.
Yes, none of y’all will ever have Taylor Swift. You will never “know” her in the biblical sense. Sure, you can pretend with all the AI photos of her having sex with various reptiles or donkeys or whatever else gets you off, but you will never have the real thing…and that makes you ANGRY. Seeing her kissing Mr. Pfizer makes you see red.
And I’m not talking about the color of his uniform.
Arnolt says there are online pleas for people to become 49ers fans for two weeks, “just so it doesn’t raise Travis Kelce AKA Mr. Pfizer’s star power along with of course Taylor Swift.” (They call him Mr. Pfizer, because we guess these shut-ins like getting sick to own the libs.) Why don’t these people want to raise Kelce’s and Swift’s star power? Because — and Arnolt says this is so scary — there was a poll what said a fifth of Swift’s fans would vote for whomever she endorsed. Isn’t that scary? Have you ever heard of Americans not being fully informed when they go into the voting booth?
Fox News cannot imagine.
The poll in question actually said 18 percent of voters in general would be more likely to back somebody Taylor Swift backed, so it is even more terrifying-er than the Fox News GayKick.com website lady says. Of course, 17 percent said they’d be less likely, which kind of cancels out the first thing. The Fox News dipshit read it wrong, is our point.
You’re going to think we made up this next vapid quote, but it’s real:
ARNOLT: … [P]eople need to be careful, because [Taylor Swift] doesn’t do what she says! Like for example the other day, yesterday, she flew private from New York City to Baltimore. Yet she constantly talks about climate change! Just please don’t believe everything Taylor Swift says, we’re all begging you!
And I suppose Arnolt and others who appear on Fox News NEVER fly on private jets? How about we lose the hypocrisy, shall we? They can’t stand her because she’s a kind and compassionate person who’s mobilized millions of young voters and who has spoken out passionately against Donald Trump and the GOP.
Taylor Swift is a genuinely good person for whom kindness and compassion are her natural state…and that makes her weak in the estimation of incels.
Swift has made it clear that she will do what she can to get her fans to vote against the type of candidates people like Charly Arnolt and Fox News support. And that’s her right in a free society. Arnolt doesn’t have to like it, but Taylor Swift has a platform, and she intends to use it.
More power to her. Swift hasn’t forgotten where she comes from or lost touch with her fans, and I think that’s a beautiful thing.
Hooray, that old white conservative canard that says that if extremely rich and powerful people ever fly on private planes, then all the approximately 100 percent of real climate scientists who say climate change is real and caused by humans must be faking it. It’s one of the stupidest fucking things any human can say.
But while we’re on the subject of saying dumb shit, Judge Boxwine Pirro also begged Taylor Swift to please stay out of politics, please, please [BURP] pleeeeeeeease.
PIRRO: Why would someone as popular as she is alienate — and I’m not saying you know, what’s going to be, ‘Yeah, people are going to hate her’ — but why alienate your fans and Swifties? You know, they come across from every political ideology, why put yourself in one area?
Because any potential MAGA Swifties that exist don’t matter, Taylor Swift probably doesn’t want MAGA fans in the first place, and if they’re teens, the second they graduate from high school and move away to college they won’t be MAGA anymore anyway, so fuck it?
Pirro also cited the poll Charly Arnolt cited, but she managed to read it correctly, including the part about how a roughly equal number of voters are less likely to vote for a Taylor Swift-backed candidate. Good job, Judge Boxwine!
She concluded:
PIRRO: So don’t get involved, don’t get involved in politics, we don’t want to see you there.
Correction: White MAGA Nazis don’t want to see you there. Fuck off.
Please don’t get involved…we don’t want to see you there. Fuck you; what makes you think we want to see the White MAGA Nazi class involved in politics, hmm? What gives you the right to tell Taylor Swift or anyone else to stay out of politics? Do you own our political system? Who gave you the deed to American politics?
The arrogance of people like Charly Arnolt and Jeanine Pirro is stunning. They seem to believe that America is theirs to do with as they please. Yes, America is the property and playground of White Conservative Christian Cisgender Heterosexuals, and the sooner you all accept that, the happier we’ll be. The rest of y’all can get in line and wait for the leftovers like every other second-class prole.
One more Fox News mouthbreather [tried to weigh in], spoiler it’s Greg Gutfeld.
Gutfeld thought he scored a big GOTCHA! on Fox lib Jessica Tarlov by saying out loud that one of the biggest issues motivating young voters and Swifties and women (and all normal people) is ABORTION. Tarlov made him look like an ass.
He sneered the word, as if he was making a clever point. “You don’t have to whisper it,” replied Tarlov. “Abortion is a really big issue, and it matters a lot to women on both sides of the aisle.”
Gutfeld, not understanding that he just lost the argument: “I just wanted to make it clear, that’s all! Because people always say women’s issues, but they never say ABORTION.”
We agree, Greg Gutfeld, people should skip the euphemisms and say ABORTION more. Americans fucking love ABORTION and they want to cock punch every white MAGA fascist who’s ever taken their ABORTION rights away.
OK, Greg…I’ll say it: ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION, ABORTION.
Will that suffice? ‘Cuz I can keep going if I need to. I have nothing on my calendar today.
We agree, Greg Gutfeld, people should skip the euphemisms and say ABORTION more. Americans fucking love ABORTION and they want to cock punch every white MAGA fascist who’s ever taken their ABORTION rights away.
And they’ve been doing that every fucking time they’ve gone to the polls ever since the illegitimate partisan hack Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
And yeah, Taylor Swift is probably going to help make that happen in November.
Go cry your eyes out in hell if you don’t like it.
And then there’s this from back when MAGA Nazis began furiously fapping to the thought that Taylor Swift might be an Aryan princess sent to make all of their White supremacist fantasies come true.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha….
Honey, where’s the Kleenex?
Wait…what???
These people are sick, walking conspiracy theories in search of something- anything- to justify why the synapses in their brains are frying. It shouldn’t need to be said, but here goes:
The National Football League is not disseminating propaganda for President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party. Believe it or not, not everything in this life is political. Some things are precisely what they seem to be…like football, f’rinstance.
Pfizer doesn’t have a dog in this fight. Sure, they want to sell more of their COVID-19 vaccines. Pfizer’s vaccines work, and they save lives. Who wouldn’t want more of that…except for the anti-vaccines maroons who’d rather see people die out of principle…as long as it’s not them?
Instead of conflating this into something sinister, how about we break it down into something simple? The Super Bowl is a football game intended to determine the champion of the NFL for the 2023 season. Period. End of story.
And it’s not a Democratic “psy op” employing Taylor Swift to turn out more young Left-leaning voters…though if it were, it would be f*****g BRILLIANT!
Seriously, isn’t it about time y’all got back on your Thorazine??
Swift’s appearance on the field following last night’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens sparked a fresh wave of social media vitriol and the resurgence of some conspiring that her near-dominant place in U.S. pop culture must be the result of some sort of psychological manipulation effort — known more colloquially in fringe circles as a “psy-op.”
One of the most viewed posts came from the right-wing X account End Wokeness, which describes itself as “fighting, exposing, and mocking wokeness.” The account shared a post Sunday suggesting that Swift’s overwhelming popularity over the past year was due to malign forces.
“What’s happening with Taylor Swift is not organic and natural. It’s an op,” the account posted. “We all feel it. We all know it.”
Swift had already been experiencing increased scrutiny from some football fans annoyed at her media exposure during NFL games, as cameras seem to pan to her every reaction. She told Time magazine in her Person of the Year interview that she has “no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”
Taylor Swift has been to several Chiefs games this year to support her boyfriend, as have other wives and girlfriends of Chiefs players, coaches, and staff. Of course, none of them are world-famous pop stars or the TIME Person of the Year, but this is all getting just a wee bit silly.
It’s not an “op.” As to whether it’s “organic and natural,” who cares? And no, we don’t “all feel it,” nor do we “all know it.” That’s possibly one of the stupidest tweets I’ve seen in quite some time, and the author most assuredly needs to get back on his Thorazine.
That’s it. That’s all.
There’s no dark conspiracy being driven by the Deep State, Pfizer, the Biden Administration, CNN, or the Keebler Elves. It’s not about Democratic propaganda or misinformation intended to focus America’s attention on Laura Ingraham’s new OnlyFans site.
Be still, my foolish heart….
Sometimes, in their efforts to show up their adversaries on the Left, who generally make a career out of ignoring these trolls, they create a whole lot of something out of way too much nothing.
It’s a football game. How ‘bout we all try to keep that in mind?
