Pentagon to MAGA world: You need to calm down over Taylor Swift
Pentagon to MAGA world: You need to calm down over Taylor Swift
“The absurdity of it all boggles the mind,” said one senior administration official.
National security officials are used to shaking off absurd conspiracy theories, but the latest rumor that’s gripped MAGA world just hits different.
The claims by Fox News and far-right influencers that pop star Taylor Swift is part of a Pentagon “psychological operation” to get President Joe Biden reelected, and somehow rig the Super Bowl to benefit Kansas City Chiefs tight end (and Swift’s boyfriend) Travis Kelce, has been met with forehead slaps in the national security world.
“The absurdity of it all boggles the mind,” said one senior administration official, granted anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly on the matter. “It feels like one of those ‘tell me you are a MAGA conspiracy theorist, without telling me you are a MAGA conspiracy theorist’ memes.”
MAGA crowd, what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Remember, a lot of young conservative men were convinced Taylor Swift was a white nationalist who posted with them on 4chan.
When she started telling people to go vote (she didnt even say for a specific party, but just telling people to vote is enough to convince them you're a democrat) they took that as Taylor Swift betraying them.
So much of what conservatives engage with is completely made up and exists only inside their own heads.
The Qtards should be treated like Al Qaeda or ISIL operating in the United States. All their communications should be monitored. They should be infiltrated and any time one of them make threats or start making plans to do anything illegal, as many as possible are arrested, locked up and embroiled in the justice system as much as possible - prison time, time in court, etc.
When we look back on this era what are we going to say drove them to this? Like, we explain the Salem witch trials by saying that there was ergot in the water which likely had them hallucinating.
What is it now? Is TikTok this much of a problem? Is there ergot in the water? What the hell is happening...
I'm gripped by a strong urge to start anonymously sending some Taylor Swift / KC Chiefs merchandise to family members and acquaintances who have been guzzling the red-hat Flavor Aid for the last decade. It's probably not the most productive use of time and money but this whole thing is just goddamn ridiculous.
USA , can you please reinstate that law (that fox news got rescinded) that requires news to be actual factual news? That way, fox must rebrand itself to "fox bullshit" and you can get actual factual news again.
I think that'd help a lot. Then get rid of the 24 hours
Jewsnews (autocorrect tried being funny) cycle as that hasn't helped anyone but investors in news corporations, and people could actually start believing in media organizations again.Dark Brandon gives their supersolders the hardest battles.
Agencies has so many stories and gossips of coups, secret weapons and psychological experiments like MK-ULTRA, and they used Taylor telling people to vote as their psy-op?
Big scary government that can hear every your word and can even say them for you, can track and kill you at any time - uses a pop-star to make a point?
Who buys that bullshit? Is it, again, the weak but strong enemy? That's a story even Onion wouldn't publish.
MAGA world to Pentagon: la la la la la la la la la neener neener neeeeeener la la la la
May I have your attention, please
I'm sure that'll put it all to rest
Sadly they'll take the "Suspiciously specific denial" (How they'd see it) as confrimation
Of all the violence, media manipulation, lies, a LITERAL coup attempt, and what the pentagon decides to crack down in is Fox slandering A FUCKING POP STAR?!
This world is insane, it has been for a while now.
edit: to stem the hate. I have nothing against Taylor Swift, good on her for telling people to vote. I don't get her music but then I'm not her target demographic.
The Pentagon is right here.
And here we again run into the fundamental problem with the alternative facts crowd:
Whats being said here is factually true, and not really controversial...
...Unless youre a Q Brained MAGAtard.
When you look at it from their point if view?
This is more evidence they are correct.
These people are violent, anti democratic, basically cannot be reasoned with, and there are a /lot/ of them.
This situation does not have a comfortable solution.
The Pentagon knows it can't handle the wrath of angry Swifties.
I remember remarking over the last couple months how Swift's rise to superstar this past year could have a real impact on Voter turnout. I was hoping she'd pop into the political sphere and boy, Republicans just made sure she will lol.
Edit: Okay, calm down. Sure absolutely she's been a superstar for years, but nobody can deny she jumped to whatever the next level is called this past year. She went from another highly successful pop star a la Lady Gaga or Katie Perry to literally the most successful of all time to the point where she inundates my feeds (pre-recent politics news) where no other pop star does.
But that's exactly what they would say if it were a psy-op, isn't it?
I'm joking and I wish that were obvious, but nowadays it probably isn't.
Seriously tho, can we go back to conspiracy theories about bigfoot? It's equally bullshit, but the worst case scenario with bigfoot conspiracy theories is that people do some more hiking to try to spot him.
Tey could have just left it at "you need to calm down"
only a week to go. was hoping it was today. conspiracy roulette
