There’s gotta be a “Force for the Good” and a “Force for the Bad” to sell tickets to a movie or political drama in an election year.

Seriously, where would Luke be without Darth Vader?

@georgetakei@universeodon.com With her usage of private jets, she is the biggest polluter of every single person in the world.

@georgetakei@universeodon.com My wife and I don’t hate her. We acknowledge her talent. We simply don’t see that she warrants all the attention. The constant TS news, especially the gushing, is tiresome.
However, that may be just a sign of the times. The polarized digital age where you are either 0 or 1, left or right, up or down with no comfortable center.

She got young people to vote and that’s no good.

@georgetakei@universeodon.com

@georgetakei@universeodon.com “she got a lot of young people to register to vote” that is exactly their problem. They know young people don’t vote for them.

@georgetakei@universeodon.com For some time now, it’s been a popular pastime to see others hating someone, and jump on the bandwagon just to be a part of it. There have been a lot of celebrities over the last few years that have been on the receiving end of some very unearned vitriol.

@georgetakei@universeodon.com

For one thing, they absolutely hate the fact Taylor Swift despises that thunder cunt Marsha Blackburn who espouses everything the GOP really is.

And she encourages people to register and vote accordingly.

Fuck the GOP.

@georgetakei@universeodon.com It’s because she encourages people to register to vote, especially young people.

@georgetakei@universeodon.com She encourages women to vote. A crime according to republicans.

@georgetakei@universeodon.com
The ‘getting young people to vote’ bit might be a minus point for the Fox crowd, I’m thinking?

@georgetakei@universeodon.com

She’s a billionaire. We do not make exceptions.

@georgetakei@universeodon.com …“got a helluva lot of young people to vote”…

@georgetakei@universeodon.com

I think it’s about control - she is young and has wealth and defies how they think women “should” behave and they can’t stop it and it drives them crazy.

And that’s fantastic. Every bit of humility we can inject into the lives of the haters is useful.

@georgetakei@universeodon.com It’s the same reason various folks on the right go berserk over hijabis.

A hijab is a very visible “unavailable, unattainable” marker, which is intolerable to anyone with patriarchal supremacist beliefs.

Even the usual run of fact-averse folks on the right can’t delude themselves into believing they’re in Ms. Swift’s league, so it’s the same “unavailable, unattainable” presence and the same “this is not how I command the world to be organized” tantrum.

@georgetakei@universeodon.com I have heard, from a reliable source, that when she receives any form of negativity, she will simply shake it off.
