Everyone wants Taylor Swift to enter the political fray but I’d be a little wary if you value democracy. Swifties have a charismatic leader, are very organized, and everyone one of them likes to make five year plans and let 100 flowers bloom. We’ve seen that combination before and it got very messy for a few years.
No. I was suggesting she’s going to lead an army of Swifties and seize power after a violent civil war and become America’s version of Mao Zedong. Communist parties tend to make 5 year-plans. And when Mao came to power, he originally talked about “letting 100 flowers bloom” as a reference to allowing dissent and alternative ideas. That only lasted a couple of years before a crackdown (and then, after that, some much much worse events).

I don’t want Swift to be an actual candidate or anything, but I am amused that Trump picked this fight.

I see a holy war spreading across the universe like unquenchable fire.
They call her Reverend Mother Taylor Swift
I’m not following what you’re getting at. Are you suggesting that Taylor Swift is going to run for president?

Comparing Taylor Swift to Mao.
Okay.
Don’t worry, it wasn’t a sincere comparison.
