Far-right hosts are blaming the GOP's big election losses on Taylor Swift

[RandySF]

Far-right commentators are putting the blame for the GOP's major election losses during Tuesday's races on one celeb: Taylor Swift.

On Tuesday, the pop superstar encouraged her fans to vote in their local elections, writing on Instagram: "Voters gonna vote!"

"It's Election Day! If you are registered to vote in Colorado, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas or Virginia, it's time to use your voice," Swift wrote, sharing a link to Vote.org.

Though Swift didn't explicitly endorse anyone in this election, right-wing hosts bemoaned the power of the Swifties.

1. The Swifties might just save democracy.

And for that we should all be grateful.

[captain queeg]

2. Of course, that must be the reason. Not that the RW are so wrong headed about major issues

And of course Swift has immense powers of persuasion.

[JanMichael]

3. They will lose this fight. Might as well attack Beyonce too

Swifties and BeyHives together might just annihilate them.

I wish they would sic them on to the reichwing lions on Yahoo and other comment boards too. Swarm.

4. Absolutely hilarious!

These folks just can't grasp the reality that Repubs are losing because voters are not buying what they are selling.

[LakeArenal]

5. So Junior high school.

[multigraincracker]

8. They could meet behind the school

and have a little talk with her boyfriend. Even turn TFG loose on him.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

6. Heck, she's been hanging out with Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Are they also to blame?

[Cha]

7. I was Hoping All that Registering to

Vote by TS paid OFF!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

25. This makes me smile

36. TY for this LMPV!!💙🌊

[multigraincracker]

9. She seems nice.

[Maru Kitteh]

10. Could they possibly look any weaker and pathetic than crying over Swifties?

Seriously.

The arctic should have so many snowflakes.

[Deuxcents]

11. Taylor Swift is the reason they lost so badly?

It’s a different blame game every time but I’m pretty sure, TS could not give a rats a$$ what they whine about. If anything, she’ll step it up. I don’t know her personally but if I was a betting person, that would be my take. And..I’ll venture to say, she won’t be the only one registering new voters at her concerts and then encouraging them to use their power of the ballot. 😎

[TSExile]

12. Of course!!!

Taylor Swift, you just keep on being you.

[Zambero]

13. MAGAts still have Roseanne Barr to fall back on

So what are they blubbering about?

[rubbersole]

14. Snap! 😂

[keithbvadu2]

26. What a great comparison!

[ShazzieB]

15. This is hilarious!

There's nothing like watching a bunch of whiney, butthurt, sore losers whine, moan, and pout about how unfair everything is and blame everyone but themselves for the fact that they are big old losers! Please pass the Republican tears!

[Skittles]

16. they're fascist, they're against GOTV

fucking assholes

[tornado34jh]

17. This would be funny if they weren't serious

I read on Right Wing Watch that one Republican in Virginia feels that the GOP isn't extreme enough on abortion. I spent most of my life in Virginia (Chesapeake and Fairfax County), and I was fortunate enough to be in fairly tolerating schools. Now I am not really a huge fan of Taylor Swift, I don't really listen to her music, but I think that young people these days follow celebrities. Why do you think the GOP hates the fact that many celebrities don't follow their ideology? In fact, they hate Hollywood in general. They feel it is influencing too much young people and are "taking away" votes for them. But if it takes someone like that for people to realize how dangerous the Republicans are, then by any means do it.

[Claustrum]

37. It's funny that they "hate" Hollywood

but elected not one, but 2 from there, Ronald Reagan and TFG. They worship the money and power from Hollywood. They just hate the liberal ones.

[Emile]

18. Too funny.

[spanone]

19. Badge of Honor for Taylor!

[malaise]

20. Well earned

😀👍

[spanone]

21. 👍🏼

[thucythucy]

22. I'm sure she's devastated by this.

[treestar]

23. Should that not prove to them that their ideas are not viable?

If it is that easy for them to lose - a pop star encourages people to vote and so they lose. Have they zero self awareness? They are admitting there is not much reason to vote for them.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

24. For this thread

[keithbvadu2]

27. But, of course, no blame for the candidates/issues lost that were endorsed by Dotard.

[NowISeetheLight]

28. Witchcraft

She lured all those people to vote Democrat with her satanic witchcraft music!

[Chainfire]

29. Of course it is her fault, why it goes without saying...

Who's fault will it be when Traitor Trump gets a good shellacking.

[Elessar Zappa]

30. Go Swifties!

[multigraincracker]

31. Now I'm going to have watch some YouTube

and her songs.
Not going listen any old Cream stuff or Pink Flowd anymore.

[ificandream]

32. Will righties try to ban Taylor Swift?

Wouldn't be surprised.

[bluestarone]

33. All this hot air is aimed at the Taylor Swift family. (the far right creeps want the CRAZIES to harm them)

I just hope they keep their eyes and ears open. They definitely will be targets of the CRAZIES!

[Think. Again.]

34. We are all...

...targets of the crazies at this point.

[Bev54]

35. Good for Taylor Swift but if would look at it, the republicans will blame anybody and

anything except the real problem, themselves and their policies or lack of them. We used to teach our children to take accountability, did they all miss that lesson?
