“Florida Democrats don’t know why Taylor Swift is naming an upcoming song on her new album ‘Florida!!!’ or the reason she chose to hold three concerts in Miami less than a month before the November elections,” Politico reports.

“But their excitement around the news is less about ‘why?’ and more about leveraging Swift’s celebrity status to fill the blank space for beleaguered voters tired of losing to Republicans.

      GOPers are seriously unlikeable motherfuckers to start with

      I dunno, the racism and simplistic explanations seem to be pretty likeable among a certain crowd

        The majority of that demographic is dying in the next couple decades. That’s why the GOP is so desprate.

          If that worked, it would have happened a long time ago. There’s always been a certain group of people who are attracted to authoritarian narratives. Perhaps we won’t be locked in battle with them forever, but we can’t take it for granted that they’ll just die out.

            It’s happened many times before, the old guard dies out and the party shifts further to the left just enough to win elections again.

      whoever has the most likes wins

      Well, whoever spreads the most hates wins. I don’t think even the Trump fans like Trump. They just think that Dems eat babies, want to turn them into femboys, or replace them with blacks and Jews or whatever.
