You hear Taylor Swift is back in the news during up controversy and her leftist fans are very upset with her. Now what was her crime this time? It's not being a billionaire. It's not flying in a private jet for 15 minutes to pick up a Diet Coke and go back home. Instead, it is being friends with a Trump supporter. Let's talk about it. Guys, before we get into today's video, please like and subscribe. You'll notice my background is a bit different. I'm filming from my grandma's house today in Florida. I'm here visiting family, so those white things look a bit different, but today we are here to talk about Taylor Swift. You guys know I'm not a Swiftie. I don't follow Taylor Swift in the news unless I have to. And it seems like this week I have to because everybody is talking about her relationship, or should I say friendship, with a Trump supporter. And that Trump supporter is Britney Mahomes. She is the wife to Pat Mahomes, the QB on the Kansas City Chiefs. And recently, Taylor Swift and Britney Mahomes were seen hanging out at the US Open, the shop, the horror. Why is this happening? Now, Britney and Taylor have been friends for quite some time, but Britney recently found herself in her own bit of controversy because she liked a post from Donald Trump on Instagram. Yeah, Britney committed the crime of liking one of Donald Trump's policy posts. This ended up going viral. Fans of Britney were saying, "How dare you be a Trump supporter? I can't believe that you're a Republican. I can't believe you would like a fascist dictator like Donald Trump who's racist and homophobic and sexist and every single ism and phobia was thrown her way." And through that controversy, she remained steadfast and said, "You know what? F the haters, I'm going to sit through this. I'm going to deal with it. It's okay to have differing opinions. And if your opinions don't match my own, that's cool. We can still chill." And it seems as though Taylor Swift has the very same perspective as they were spotted together, hugging and having a good time, kicking it up at the US Open. Now, these pictures went viral, and of course, all the leftist Swifties said, "How dare you, Taylor Swift? Hang out with somebody who supports Donald Trump and is going to ruin America." Even though we know they don't even like America to begin with, but that's a rant for another time. I'm going to read you some of the reactions that Taylor Swift is receiving on X, and you guys can get a feel for what people are saying about this friendship. This one has 28,000 likes and says, "I don't think Taylor Swift is a Republican, but I do think she's an out of touch Democrat billionaire who believes that you can separate politics from relationships because she will be protected from everything." I can see her still endorsing Kamala, but the damage is still done, and even that is a maybe. As a former leftist myself, this reminds me so much of who I used to be. This person who would cut people out of my life because we had a disagreement over politics. I thought politics was the end all be all. It was a statement about your moral compass and your character, and that if you disagreed with me in any way, shape, or form, you were meant to be outcast. You were meant to be set aside, shunned, a pariah. I couldn't talk to you, I couldn't hug you, I couldn't befriend you, and that seems to be the general sentiment among extreme leftists. They feel as though if you disagree with them in any way, you are a toxic individual who needs to be cut from their lives. They're cutting out friends and peers and coworkers, even family members, and I'll tell you, that's not normal. You know, we used to live in a time where people could sit across from each other at the dinner table and disagree over politics, but still have a good time, still love one another, still see the great things about one another that have nothing to do with politics, but I guess we've really left that time, at least when it comes to young people on the left. And I even think Taylor Swift used to be a person who would have agreed with some of the sentiments that are being shared online right now about her friendship, but I think she's maybe matured and grown out of her previous beliefs. In a documentary that Taylor Swift put out a few years back, she was actually filmed crying about her opinion of Donald Trump. Taylor Swift comes out against Trump. I don't care if they write that. I'm sad that I didn't two years ago, but I can't change that. First of all, these aren't your dad's celebrities, and these aren't your dad's Republicans. Hey Mike, imagine if we came to you and say, we've got this idea that we could halve the number of people that come to you next to you. I'm saying right now that this is hoping that I know is right, and you guys, I need to be on the right side of the history. And if he doesn't win, then at least I, I, at least I try, really is a big deal. She votes against against fair pay for women. She votes against the reauthorization of the, of the violence against women act, which is just basically protecting us for the best to get the use of stalking, stalking. If you're looking at that version of Taylor, I would probably guess that she wouldn't be friends with the Trump supporter, but now, here we are in our year 2024, and she's hanging out with Britney Muhomes. So it seems as though she's grown a bit and grown in the right direction, despite what many of our leftist fans are saying. Well, let's read some more reactions. This one got 74,000 likes for Taylor Swift talking about Palestine is too controversial for her. Yet hanging out with a rape apologist Trump supporter is completely okay to her. Bunch of emojis. I love white feminism. We've reached new levels of the Lulu and being chronically online, because if you are somebody who cannot fathom having a relationship with somebody outside of your political echo chamber, you have the problem, not other people. Normal people can associate with people that they disagree with. It is a normal fact of life. Your family members disagree with you, your coworkers disagree with you, your peers, your classmates disagree with you. And guess what? You learn to build healthy relationships, because that's what it is to be mature. So if you can't handle that, it's not Taylor Swift's problem, it is yours. Sorry. Yeah, I don't care anymore. Britney Muhomes. Trump supporters. Anybody that sympathizes with them. And Taylor Swift for acting as if she cared about political activism for just one album cycle, then dropping it once it no longer fit her aesthetic. Being comfortable around people like Britney while disagreeing on such fundamental topics is just so, so weird to me. I must point out that Bayes into these messages and what people are saying is a feeling of superiority. They feel as though they sit on a moral high horse and that all of their beliefs are superior to those around them that disagree with them, even though it is half of the country who disagrees with them. And they sit on that high horse, judge you from up above and say, "I don't want you in my life. I don't want to be friends with you. I want no association with you." And you know what? That's fine, because I feel like these people in general are pretty toxic themselves and not too fun to be around. When I think about my relationships and friendships, I think about a variety. I want to have people of all different walks of life, all different mindsets and beliefs, different hobbies, so that we have something to go back and forth on. If I'm constantly sitting in an echo chamber, life would be pretty boring. And I say that as somebody who used to sit in a leftist echo chamber and decided to leave the left, and that was one of the major reasons why. As soon as you start to question them or have disagreements on any given topic, they feel the need to shun you and cast you aside. And it's just not a healthy dynamic to have. It doesn't allow for exploration. It doesn't allow for curiosity. And it doesn't allow for true tolerance and acceptance, even though they claim to be the tolerant side that is all about being inclusive. They only want you to be included if you want 100% agree with everything it is that they think. There is a deep-seated superiority complex somewhere in there, and it is borderline narcissistic. And if you couldn't delve from any of those tweets, let's watch one more TikTok reaction to Taylor and Britney's friendship. Yeah, this is the worst feud ever. These people are clearly friends, and not just women whose partners are co-workers. Unless Taylor is putting Britney in a headlock to demonstrate as a metaphor what Trump does to the Constitution and the peaceful transition of power. As seen on January 6, 2021, and what he promises to do if reelected, or even if not reelected, either why he refuses to accept the results of an election that doesn't go in his favor because he's a malignant narcissist. But no, they seem too happy for that. Yeah, these guys are friends. You know, deep down when I read these tweets and watch these videos, I feel bad for the people who are making these bits of commentary. It probably signals that you don't have too much depth to your friendships, too much variety to your friendships, and you might actually be creating an uncomfortable environment for those who hang out with you by feeling the need to police the things that they think and feel. And there's just such hypocrisy here because this is the side, again, that wants safe spaces and everybody welcome, but we know that's not actually what they mean. And now that Taylor Swift has seemingly matured into an adult human being who is capable of having relationships with people she disagrees with, she is the one being criticized, not the people who are espousing this toxic ideology that will leave many of them friendless and without family. I believe this once, I believe you needed to cut the toxic people out of your life. And then I grew up and realized that I was, in fact, being the toxic one. I do hope the same for these people who are making these comments about Taylor and Britima homes, because once you realize that you are, in fact, the one with the negativity, the one with the toxicity, your life is going to become so much better. But because there is so much moral superiority baked into how these people think and the lens through which they view the world, it is very hard to stand up and look yourself in the mirror and I mean give yourself a real look. And when the time is right, and they finally do give themselves a good look in the mirror, they will find out that human relationships can transcend politics. Not only that, they should transcend politics. And that doesn't mean that these issues aren't important. It doesn't mean that we are not deeply passionate about the things that we think and the issues that we care about. It just means that we can set that aside to build relationships with people that are going to enrich our lives in ways that have nothing to do with political opinions. So yeah, I guess, remain chronically online criticizing Taylor for having friends and hugging them and laughing with them and going to events with them. Meanwhile, you can just cut off a whole section of the population that could very well be helpful influences in your life because ideology. But guys, those are just my thoughts.
