F you, Taylor Swift!” shouted Megyn Kelly, “and f all of the people who want to see these children have body parts chopped off.”

For those not fluent in Republican crazy-speak, Kelly’s meltdown was triggered by Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris the night before, barely one hour after Trump all but face-planted on the debate stage. Kelly was especially triggered by Swift highlighting her appreciation for vice presidential nominee Tim Walz’s support of LGBTQ+ rights.

Other right-wing commentators, like Ben Shapiro, took another approach: making fun of Swifties. “Note: if you vote for a particular candidate because your favorite singer is doing so, please don’t vote. You are too stupid to vote,” wrote Shapiro on X. Meanwhile, Elon Musk, the richest man on the planet, threatened to impregnate her.

    No, it’s still pretty hard to see any merit in Shapiro’s comment. Instead of the singers opinion to vote for an actual politician trying to help, he (a TV spokesperson) wants to get you to vote for a TV personality.

    Maybe if he wasn’t trying to elect the wannabe dictator he would have some merit, but because he wants to elect the wannabe dictator he doesn’t.
