Neo-Nazi’s lost it when Pop star Taylor Swift announced on Instagram that she’s endorsing Tennessee Democrat Phil Bredsen and then went on to denounce racism, sexism and homophobia.
For the past several years, Swift has been seen as an “Aryan Goddess” by white supremacists, and when she decided to reveal her political views, she smashed their fantasy that she’s the ultimate white woman.
4Chan message boards were filled with angry posts from white supremacists whining that Swift must be saved. One user wrote, “WE MUST SAVE HER!”
Most see her stance as a betrayal.
The Daily Beast reported:
In a 4chan thread about the endorsement, 4chan posters bemoaned the loss of their pop idol, calling her ‘traitorous.’ One user posted an image of a picture of Swift burning, while another added a meme saying the Bredesen endorsement had cost him his ‘last additional bit of hope.’
‘It was good while it lasted, mates,’ one 4chan user wrote.”
Most 4Chan posters wrote the pop star off as a lost cause. One poster wrote,
“Yeah I guess she didn’t learn a god damn thing. Like most brainwashed White liberal women, but there are good White women who don’t stab their own kind in the back. Swift will get her just reward from her dindu friends, only a matter of time.”
Another 4Chan user said, “Stupid b*tch doesn’t respect the Trump curse. She has to learn the hard way.”
Taylor’s Instagram post:
I’m writing this post about the upcoming midterm elections on November 6th, in which I’ll be voting in the state of Tennessee. In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now. I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country. I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent. I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love. Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha Blackburn. As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values. I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives. Please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on who most closely represents your values. For a lot of us, we may never find a candidate or party with whom we agree 100% on every issue, but we have to vote anyway.
So many intelligent, thoughtful, self-possessed people have turned 18 in the past two years and now have the right and privilege to make their vote count. But first you need to register, which is quick and easy to do. October 9th is the LAST DAY to register to vote in the state of TN. Go to vote.org and you can find all the info. Happy Voting!
