F you, Taylor Swift!” shouted Megyn Kelly, “and f all of the people who want to see these children have body parts chopped off.”

For those not fluent in Republican crazy-speak, Kelly’s meltdown was triggered by Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris the night before, barely one hour after Trump all but face-planted on the debate stage. Kelly was especially triggered by Swift highlighting her appreciation for vice presidential nominee Tim Walz’s support of LGBTQ+ rights.

Other right-wing commentators, like Ben Shapiro, took another approach: making fun of Swifties. “Note: if you vote for a particular candidate because your favorite singer is doing so, please don’t vote. You are too stupid to vote,” wrote Shapiro on X. Meanwhile, Elon Musk, the richest man on the planet, threatened to impregnate her.

      For example if i were a celebrity i would do that to support a third party that would offer a valid solution to the end of the genocide in gaza

        That’s fair, but Harris is already better on that front than Biden. There just aren’t enough Americans in favor of a good solution.

        Harris at least might bend to public outcry, if we can get more people on our side.

          Instead of hoping that the vice president of a party supporting a genocide bend to public outcry you could agree that a celebrity endorsing a third party would actually be a good thing.

            That’s fair, I agree with you and hope that Harris will improve if/when she wins.
