This is actually the real problem, which makes me feel like the memes are justified. They really didn’t start showing up til the C&D anyway (AFAIK).
I’m a feminist and left-leaning guy, I’m certainly not gonna go after her for being a woman or for her “politics”* - or appreciate jokes that seek to do so, as people are trying to imply in this case. But trying to avoid the deserved scrutiny of hiding her flight plans is pretty shitty and it’s fair to razz her for it
(* “go vote” is so barely politics it’s not worth truly acknowledging it as such)
That’s a really dumb interpretation. The people who would think lesser of her for her jet travel are distinctly NOT the people who would’ve avoided voting for Biden over Trump or any other R.
It’s not about choosing a candidate, especially with Taylor. It’s about going out to vote or not.
They were fucking terrified that Taylor and Kelce were gonna endorse Biden at the Super Bowl. It’s not a coincidence that the jet thing was picked up at the same time.
And they’re afraid they were gonna get out the vote for the young, who are notoriously left-leaning non-voters.
I agree, I think it would be pretty foolish to assume there was nobody behind the memes but the people. Here we all are denouncing Swift when she was actually spreading a good message about getting out to vote.
I’ve been meaning to ask… What’s up with the Taylow Swift = airplane memes?
She takes her private jet absolutely everywhere, to the detriment of the environment
Oh, ok. I was expecting something more damning, but I guess that goes against her public image.
Thanks.
Also her lawyers sent a letter to the person who tracks her flights to stop so that put her even more in the spotlight.

Apparently she recently took a 13 minute flight on her private jet. That’s a pretty bad look.
She might not have even been on the plane. It’s pretty common for private jets to have short flights like that to move them to get serviced.
It’s a thin thread they can use to attack a potential popular endorsement of Biden.
Some of them are genuine iterations on the existing meme, but the meme primarily exists to dampen her influence on politics.
