GOP's "Crusade" Against ... Taylor Swift?

It's pretty obvious Fox News can't exist without GOP, as they feed off each other. But today, both seem to picked an opponent they don't realize they how much of a juggernaut will be... The mega-star Taylor Swift. Yes, that Swift. 

I am NOT a Swiftie. I like her music well enough, but I liked a LOT of artists, and I have eclectic tastes in music, from speed metal to country, I listen to all sorts of stuff. But this is not about my tastes. 

It's how Fox News (and presumably, GOP), turned on Swift... because she Instagram'ed at her followers to register to vote. Not for any party leaning, just "register to vote, and exercise your rights". 

Now you're probably going: why would Fox/GOP be hostile to that? Turns out, younger voters tend to vote blue. 

Now that Swift is dating Travis Kelce, Kelce, who was never political, was getting Fox pundit ill wishes such as "how will his heart break: by Swift, or the COVID vaccine". This is all well documented on X / Fox News. 

Apparently, Swift, who's rich, has a rich family, and is lily white, is an enemy of Fox and GOP values because she tends to lean Democrat (for whatever her reasons are, not relevant) though has mostly remained neutral. And Kelce is getting ill wishes because he's close to Swift... collateral damage. 

But has Fox / GOP bitten off more they can chew this time?  

Sad COVIDiocy: Daughters Blame Misinformation for their Mom's COVID death in Washington State

 A mother from Western Washington has died of COVID because she got the idea that COVID vaccine is not good for her, despite her daughters' plea for her to be vaccinated for months. 

According to her daughters, mom supposedly caught COVID back at the beginning of pandemic, and mistakenly thought she's immune. She was never checked by a doctor to confirm this. She caught COVID at the beginning of September and died 12 days later, at the age of 57. 

Both daughters blamed "conservative media" for their mother's death. One said their mother believed that news sources are biased and only gets her information from conservative media. The other said their mom refused to listen to facts from everything, including themselves, and made everything political. 

And she's hardly the only one who died from COVID from misinformation. This is playing out across America in various conservative households. 

Don't be this mom. Don't be a COVIDiot. Get vaccinated. Your family will thank you.
