Michigan Advance's Susan J. Demas opines…
Trump is reportedly preoccupied with Swift endorsing Biden again (which doesn’t seem like it would be a big surprise), muttering that he’s “more popular” than the megastar, while aides are chest-beating that they’ll start a “holy war” against her. The hope seems to be to intimidate Swift into silence or make the whole thing seem cringe to dampen excitement if she does become a Biden surrogate.
But it gets weirder.
The MAGA Swift hate seems to have reached a bizarre tipping point as she and Kelce have been hailed as the All-American couple, a veritable Norman Rockwell painting come to life. Real Americans are Trumpers, so the lore and Rust Belt diner-fed punditry goes. This simply cannot stand.
“I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month,” former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy posted. “And I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall.”
And lo, this election’s wackiest conspiracy theory was born. Kelce and Swift, you see, aren’t two rich, crazy kids in love. No, they’re integral parts of a Deep State psyop to ensure Biden’s reelection.
Is the GOP's desperation making them (moreso) insane or is the GOP's insanity making them desperate?
BTW, congrats, Swifty, on your record-breaking Grammy for Midnights last night! 🏆 💿 🎶 Your bank transfer from the Illuminati is forthwith. 🤣
Why do people allow it? We'll he's not running anymore so he doesn't have to care if people think he's an asshole (he never cared)
But I think Kelce counts as a public figure so it's like basically impossible to slander a public figure. Basically the first amendment sues and Kelce cannot really sue for damages.
If you or I lost our jobs because Vivek said we are Pentagon operatives, we totally could sue him.
