After weeks of Republican media pundits and a former presidential candidate vilifying her, going as far as saying she’s a Defense Department psy-op, it seems all but certain Trump will jump into the fray soon as well after Rolling Stone reported one of his confidants predicted a “holy war” against the pop sensation.
If that and the aforementioned survey are correct, that means there are nearly 137 million voting-age Swift supporters situated across the US, or approximately 60% of the total number of votes cast in the 2020 presidential election for either Biden or Trump.
Sure, many of those millions of conservative fans won’t cross the aisle in retribution for sullying Swift’s name, but Biden won nine states in 2020 by less than 100,000 votes.
If just a small fraction of Swift’s Republican fans defect over such attacks, it could legitimately help Biden secure a second term in the White House.
A colleague of mine was baselessly slandered as a groomer and a pedophile, had their family doxxed, and received death threats from Swifties for the crime of simply enjoying Beyoncé’s recent tour more than Swift’s.
The Swifties’ condemnation of that opinion, as minor as it was, highlights a major reason they’re more dangerous to Trump’s reelection plans than any Democratic leader in the country: While Democrats have routinely refused to “go low” instead of “high” responding to Trump’s bullying, Swift fans have never held back and they’re not held to the same standards and in positions of power.
