Getting this off my mind: I am getting a bad feeling that this whole Taylor Swift stupidity is a trap to damage Q/MAGA.

Brett Cooper just posted a new commentary video just now, talking about this controversy with Taylor Swift. She also gave her opinion that the attacks from the Right/MAGA against Taylor Swift might be a suicide mission, especially in terms of optics. It is probably a devil's advocate video on why we should chill out on Taylor Swift. You may see the video here:

What is even more intriguing are the comments to the video:

To me, this just seems like a stupid battle for Republicans. It's true for literally any famous musician....if they have a large influence and a predominantly young fanbase, then of course their political beliefs will influence their fanbases. Especially when they're super young and impressionable. Why are they fixating so much on Taylor Swift specifically? Maybe instead of constantly complaining about famous celebs leaning left, create some genuinely beautiful and right-wing art to have more conservative celebs in the spotlight.

I think this whole Taylor Swift situation is getting blown completely out of proportion. ||| its the Republican curse. every single time we gain ground with normal people, some idiots fuck it all up by attacking things the average person loves and calling it an op or saying it's demonic ||| religious conservatives are responsible for most of that, they were the biggest reason why I never supported conservatives before the woke/sjw movement pushed normal liberals like me away from the left. I'm pretty socially conservative these days but I still cannot stand religious conservatives though.

I am a die-hard Chiefs fan, Travis Kelce is one of my favorite players, but I have absolutely no interest in Taylor Swift other than the fact that she makes my favorite player happy. But these whole conspiracy stories are stupid and frankly becoming predictable. Omg, people need to quit worrying about things that really have no concern to them. And it doesn't matter, what would be the whole point anyway? Just as you said, she's going to vote for Biden more than likely and endorsed him. Who cares? Nobody I know is going to base their vote on who she endorses. It's just another way to raise views and all that and frankly it's extremely destructive to the right

So glad to see someone talking about how bad the Republicans can be when it comes to engaging with young people, especially young women. Unless this turns around, and fast, we will permanently loose a huge portion of the voting population for years to come, and it will do significant damage to our country. -a Gen Z girl Conservative

Me? I don't care about Taylor Swift nor NFL at all, any more than the average person here on GAW. My current mission is to get Trump into office and get the Satanists punished for the hell they put us through. However, I am concerned that our fixation on Taylor Swift is hindering that mission by turning away potential recruits and driving them into Satan's open arms. While it is fun to dunk on the enemy's celebrities, we should not let that get in the way of our mission.

Also, the worst thing you can do to an artist is to ignore them and to deny them publicity, not attack them and feed them publicity...
