I don't get rightys
I'm totally OK with Kid Rock voting for Trump and letting his thousands and thousands of followers know that
If rightys are ok with Kid Rock, should be OK with Taylor letting her millions and millions of followers know how she is voting.
Fair is fair :-)


It's because the righties are all cult-driven snowflakes.

I just checked Instagram. As of this moment, 10.4 million likes. I just checked Kid Rocks last Instagram post made yesterday. 7k likes.
In a nutshell, that's why rightys are upset

10.4 million vs 7k
It's a landslide lol

I heard someone say the NFL is trying to prevent players from endorsing a presidential candidate.

I think I figured out why Swift endorsed Harris. LOL


It was because of this quote by Harris:

Note the wise usage of "basically".

-----------------

"So, Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically that's wrong."

Whoopi Goldberg to JD Vance: ‘Stop Talking’ About Taylor Swift

12 Sep 2024
.
.
.
“We admire Taylor Swift’s music, but I don’t think most Americans – whether they like her music or fans of hers or not – are gonna be influenced by a billionaire celebrity who I think is fundamentally disconnected from the interests and the problems of most Americans. When grocery prices go up 20%, it hurts most Americans. It doesn’t hurt Taylor Swift. When housing prices become unaffordable, it doesn’t affect Taylor Swift or any other billionaire.”

we're losing the 12 yr old girl vote !!!


Big uptake in 12 year old girls registering to vote, apparently. 🤭

Quote:
Following Taylor Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris, there has been a "400% or 500% increase" in voter registration — between 9,000-10,000 people per hour, according to data firm TargetSmart.

"It's really unlike anything I've seen," says TargetSmart senior adviser Tom Bonier.

A lot of folks eighteen and older idolize Taylor Swift.

Her endorsement is a big boost, and if she actively lobbies for Harris it will be even bigger.

What singers endorse Trump?

Kid Rock (who?) and Lara Trump.

ROTFL [re "we're losing the 12 yr old girl vote"]
Talk about an intellectual lightweight response
If that was what's at stake, why are rightys having a meltdown????????????
Clearly the most influential celebrity on the planet
She's an economic tour de force
She can change the economics of a city overnite anywhere on the planet
When she plays overseas, it becomes a major tourist destination for US fans
Most people recognize a joke when they see one

Ams probably would have been able to see that back in 2021 ... Ed has probably been similarly losing out but since about 1971

Hard to tell with Trumpers
Harris demolished Trump in the debate
It's so obvious
Yet most hardcore Trumpers say he won the debate
Is that a joke or are they serious
You tell me lol

It helps if it’s even the slightest bit clever or funny. Better luck next time.
