    Swifties are an even bigger hivemind than Reddit. Game over. Kamala Harris is going to win.

      That’s obviously hyperbolic, but it does unleash some fun mechanisms. I think it’s fair to assume many Swifties are apolitical - the demography of young voters it’s traditionally hard to get to vote. Not more so than previous generations, it’s just that they have other things they care about in their lives, unlike the old farts who always vote and always vote red.

      This endorsement will inevitably cause some GOP furniture fucker or another to attack Swift in public. And that’s when this becomes properly important - you do not want to start a war against Swifties in the current political environment.

      But I wouldn’t write Trump off before his dead, buried, and millions are doing pilgrimage to piss on his grave. Until then, we’ve learned better than to overestimate the American electorate.
