    Weren’t right wing men weirdly obsessed with Taylor Swift a while ago? Specifically in a creepy misogynistic “it’s a shame she’s not having kids, what a wasted opportunity” kinda way? I remember reading about that somewhere.

    If so, good for Taylor for now becoming an enemy to the creeps as opposed to an object of desire.

      Years back before she had made any definitive statements about politics I think a lot of Republicans just assumed that as a rich, white, country-ish musician she was a right winger who could one day be their ideal Aryan Christofascist princess.

      I don’t know if it was that group in general, but Stefan Molyneux in particular certainly was.

      For the longest time they kept saying she was a 4chan user because at one point someone posted pictures of a skinny blond and said it was a selfie. Which quickly lead to users saying it was obviously Taylor.

      So that lead to them insisting Taylor is a far righter, super racist, and a trump supporter. But all in secret so she could grift liberals or something.

      Shit was super weird

      I’m not sure what Molymeme is, but he’s not typical of the right in a lot of ways, unless his dive to insanity included finding God.
