59. I can't quite see the logic there

If they think that attacking Dolly Parton turns off potential Republican voters, wouldn't they also think that attacking Taylor Swift would encourage her fans to vote Democratic?

My theory seems simpler - they desperately needed something to talk about this weekend other than the law catching up with Trump. Swift and Kelce are celebs, so they get really big news coverage (Parton's famous, but not at the top of her news worthiness). MAGAts love a conspiracy theory that says they're being oppressed, so this is what was needed on RW media to keep the morons moronic.

Nope; it's a distraction from his crimes and unsuitability to be president muriel_volestrangler Jan 2024 #45

I don't think Taylor Swift is distracting us from Trump dai13sy Jan 2024 #49

I don't think she's doing anything about Trump; she's making music, and dating a football player muriel_volestrangler Feb 2024 #55

Exactly this 👆 Drum Feb 2024 #56

Dolly Parton has been more politically and socially involved than Swift, yet she hasn't been a target of the RW sop Feb 2024 #58

I can't quite see the logic there muriel_volestrangler Feb 2024 #59

Dolly's fans are mostly older, religious, conservative voters who are already registered and probably support sop Feb 2024 #60
