“F you, Taylor Swift!” shouted Megyn Kelly, “and f all of the people who want to see these children have body parts chopped off.”
For those not fluent in Republican crazy-speak, Kelly’s meltdown was triggered by Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris the night before, barely one hour after Trump all but face-planted on the debate stage. Kelly was especially triggered by Swift highlighting her appreciation for vice presidential nominee Tim Walz’s support of LGBTQ+ rights.
…
Other right-wing commentators, like Ben Shapiro, took another approach: making fun of Swifties. “Note: if you vote for a particular candidate because your favorite singer is doing so, please don’t vote. You are too stupid to vote,” wrote Shapiro on X. Meanwhile, Elon Musk, the richest man on the planet, threatened to impregnate her.
Republicans would lose 2/3 off their voter base if they listened to Ben Shapiro. Like how many voters have become Republican because they listened to their favorite radio DJ or podcaster.
A lot, actually. Tons of money is being poured into raising up popular propagandists because it works. Russia was caught doing it just recently.
Were it Russia alone, it’d be countered. The reason it doesn’t is because there are also Israel, Turkey, Saudi Arabia.
For those out of the loop:
The quote says singers.
Podcasters and radio hosts on the other hand are stellar people with the absolute best opinions and should be listened to and followed like sheep.
Never forget the time Shapiro got angry and confused in a softball interview with British right winger Andrew Neil and stormed out.
I highly recommend skipping to the end if you haven’t seen it:

It’s a mystery to me how these people get taken seriously at all.
This was a fun watch!
