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.

    EatATaco, you have not asked a question.

    No one has stated the US is the worst in the world, so I don’t know why you typed what you did.

    “Here” is “not the US”; and that is the point. To state where I am would make no sense but it also wouldn’t be respective of where I have been.

    I did not think such a point would be a challenge to grasp, let alone be upsetting. I’ll encourage you to stop making assumptions that upset you. That’s a you problem and it’s not nice to point fingers at others to spite the follies you’re “willing to bet on.”

        You’re clearly not blessed with basic literacy. Perhaps start with placing a question mark somewhere so I have something to dodge.

        The things that happen in your head, you need to externalise them so people don’t think you’re mad. Finding hilarity doesn’t help, it’s just weird now.

          You’ve even addressed what you dodged. We both know it, why are you pretending otherwise?

            You are loony.

            I can only assume, you are wanting to know where I’m from? Even though it’s already been explained and you think you’ve asked but haven’t.

            South Korea, New Zealand, England, Australia, and Canada. But, again, has nothing to do with anything as these are just places I have lived while there are many more I have been and I won’t bother listing them all. That’s been explained quite clearly for to correct your erroneous assumptions and get you back on topic. Seems to be pointless, though.

            And of course, if that’s not it, then I have no idea. At this point, it seems you’re either simple or a troll.

              I can only assume

              You made it obvious before that you understood my implicit question…and you’re trying to play it off as if you have to “assume.” Lol

              South Korea, New Zealand, England, Australia, and Canada.

              Still avoiding where to currently live. Lol hilarious. And to live in South Korea and think America is bad when it comes to celebrity worship exposes a special type of ignorance about the us.

              simple or a troll.

              Definitely not a troll. Maybe simple. But at least I’m not dishonest, like some people still posting here.

                Who said I lived in SK? Oh, that’s right, I did. I meant Belgium.

                But again, now you see why it never mattered to the point I was making which you seem to have literally never understood since you became obsessed with “here” for some reason.

                  Admitting to arguing in bad faith while calling me a troll. Should have known it was a projection.

                    I didn’t call you a troll. I’m not arguing. So, what admission?

                    You keep making up these things in your head based on stuff that’s been said and going off to some other field to build a bunch of strawmen. It’s clearly not working. Subsequently, the original comment remains entirely unrelated to anything you are rambling about. It’s delusion at this point.
