Swift's US adult fan base is larger than the 2020 presidential vote, is unafraid to "go low," and has a long history of sending death threats.

    Swift’s US adult fan base … is unafraid to “go low”

    The fan base is very large and in any group of that size there are going to be enough people willing to “go low” to form a mob. That doesn’t mean that the average Swift fan is more willing to “go low” than the average person who isn’t her fan. (I’m pretty sure that the average Swift fan is less willing to “go low” than the average Trump supporter.)

      I doubt the average Swiftie is willing to decapitate a family member, yes

      [sure, that guy is seriously mentally ill but it’s a very low bar for those people]
