Michigan Advance’s Susan J. Demas opines…
Trump is reportedly preoccupied with Swift endorsing Biden again (which doesn’t seem like it would be a big surprise), muttering that he’s “more popular” than the megastar, while aides are chest-beating that they’ll start a “holy war” against her. The hope seems to be to intimidate Swift into silence or make the whole thing seem cringe to dampen excitement if she does become a Biden surrogate.
But it gets weirder.
The MAGA Swift hate seems to have reached a bizarre tipping point as she and Kelce have been hailed as the All-American couple, a veritable Norman Rockwell painting come to life. Real Americans are Trumpers, so the lore and Rust Belt diner-fed punditry goes. This simply cannot stand.
“I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month,” former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy posted. “And I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall.”
And lo, this election’s wackiest conspiracy theory was born. Kelce and Swift, you see, aren’t two rich, crazy kids in love. No, they’re integral parts of a Deep State psyop to ensure Biden’s reelection.
Is the GOP’s desperation making them (moreso) insane or is the GOP’s insanity making them desperate?
BTW, congrats, Swifty, on your record-breaking Grammy for Midnights last night! 🏆 💿 🎶 Your bank transfer from the Illuminati is forthwith. 🤣
Sorry. Your point is lost in all your condescension.
Apologies, your pedantry has become condescension.
I actually was confused in all sincerity by @[email protected]’s comment. Who are these “lemmings”, “morons” and “idiot monster”? Am I the only one “in the room” who doesn’t know? Are these condescending terms adding anything to the conversation?
But, hey, I hope you feel better.
I understand the confusion now. The honorable Fartographer was referring to the users of Lemmy as lemmings. Our mascot.
Maybe this will clear it up:
Lemmings = someone who browses Lemmy
the morons of the early aughts = people who thought Britney Spears was a CIA OP
room with an idiot monster. = Probably referring to Spears’ father and conservatorship.
morons of today = MAGAs
idiot monster is also a narcissist = Trump
