In my opinion, when you elevate an entertainer or athlete etc., to the level where you're influenced by their opinion enough to vote solely on that basis (at least when not independently arriving at the same position through one's own research), then you're too easily manipulated, intellectually lazy and possibly under the control of cabal propaganda.

That said, and again - my opinion - there's a positive take-away even if you're disappointed with her politics (personally, I could not care less).

Ms. Swift is publicly taking a stand against identity politics, more of which is needed in our culture today, in this sense:

By not supporting Mrs. Blackburn, she is educating her fans that there's nothing wrong with supporting another candidate, EVEN THOUGH IT MEANS, AS A WOMAN, YOU'RE NOT SUPPORTING A FELLOW WOMAN!

This is a very enlightened view, and one that will cost her for expressing, as having taken ANY public position would have. In the age of slogans such as 'I'M WITH HER,' any encouragement for people to think and vote independent from party propaganda, should be welcomed.

Perhaps tl;dr …. but wanted to send Ms. Swift my appreciation. In a democracy (I know, really a constitutional republic), after careful independent analysis by the citizens, the candidate with the strongest platform should prevail….and not because of party affiliation or identity politics.

Anon, I'm the one you're responding to (I think).

And we may be in agreement, philosophically speaking. What I would point out though is that my comment never mentions the democrat party, which is shit. I used the word 'democracy' - in a general sense. Educated voters, making informed decisions.

As to the democrats. You're right. They stand for nothing, and as soon as you don't tow the party line, you're thrown under the bus. There are already groups they don't welcome EVEN THOUGH they purport to be. This includes woman who express 'pro-life' views.

The arc of justice will not be kind to the modern day democrat party. It is already totally different from the party of the parents and grandparents. It has been oc-opted by the extreme radical left, which is as unAmerican as you can get.

My basic point however, was that I was encouraged to see a prominent woman (Taylor Swift) who is expressing a view different from the norm today, namely that as a woman, you must vote for a woman. She will most likely pay some form of mob-mentality price for expressing it.

Never gets old. Never. Then there's always the Al Smith dinner for a nightcap.
