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

-snip-

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.

RWers can never come to any conclusion that maybe it's their own fault. RWers constantly blame others for their short comings. RWers do not learn from their own evil mistakes. RWers make living worse in the USA by terrorizing us with their effed up ideology.

“Taylor Swift is going to come out in the presidential election and she is going to mobilize her fans," Kirk warned his viewers on Wednesday, adding, "And we're going to be like, 'Oh wow, where did all these young, female voters come from?' We better have a plan for that."

Yes, you’d better have a plan for that. How about being more in tune with young women’s political leanings?

Like that would ever happen from the party of white male misogynists ….

the US is an excellent strategy and they should make it central to their 2024 campaign.

The RNC is putting Swift's safety, perhaps her life, in danger.

All you need is one individual, influenced by their position, to become a stochastic terrorist.

That should tell you something right there.

And bizzarly, they called a pop icon who actually has a hit song with lyrics saying to a crazy uncle you call me ugly and can't sing, ugly and can't sing.

As though that is going to turn off her base?

If she ran for senator she would easily win. Let them worry about that.
