It's always wise to question the motivation of people when there's a lot of money on the line. But I get the impression that Swift is genuinely sincere in her politics and her charity. She seems to be one of the rare few wealthy people who try to do good.
I am prepared to be disappointed, but I hope that doesn't happen.
@bruce @Pineywoozle @wendinoakland @KimPerales I don’t care either way, because it’s public perception of her that matters. If she’s so obsessed with superstardom that she goes against her fascist instincts and promotes women and democracy, she can take it all.
I don’t think so either.
@Extra_Special_Carbon @bruce @wendinoakland @KimPerales lol Just out of curiosity what makes you say she has fascist instincts she needs to go against?
@Pineywoozle @bruce @wendinoakland @KimPerales You missunderstood. I think she’s decent, but on the off chance she’s just playing her cards, IDC.
I remember around the 1989 album white supremacists had started to lionize her. She had nothing to do with it, but it did make me nervous. Then my daughter went to a concert and said BLM was all over the place.
@Extra_Special_Carbon @bruce @wendinoakland @KimPerales Ah, you ment if she had them and went against them not that she did have them. Got it. Very cool about the openness of BLM at the concert. I’m with you in not really wanting entertainers to try to sway the vote, but I do like it when they speak up for truth and democracy and equality and inclusiveness and if those happen to be Democratic values well what
do you know. LoL
@bruce @Extra_Special_Carbon @wendinoakland @KimPerales I have a friend who’s a swifty so I get exposed to a lot more of this than I normally would and her statements supporting women and democracy and giving back to the community have been surprisingly consistent from the time that she had almost no fan base outside her parents and was just a little 11 year-old kid trying to make it in Nashville.
