The Biggest Mistake Republicans made in 2020 (I posted earlier this year)

is that they did not attack Taylor Swift enough.

Invading Moscow in the winter, fighting a land war in Asia, and going up against the Swifties.
These are well regarded as key strategic mistakes in history.


I can't find the post but I remember what I said: Swifties are a fickle lot; If there's enough criticism, they will take it on the chin, forget about Taylor, start following someone else, and vote Republican in 2024.

I am surprised that so far the Swifties are outraged and organizing $13 donations to Harris/Walz. But don't give up RNC; Double down, redouble down, and I'm sure they'll see the light and come back to the fold.

As time went by this year I began to doubt that Taylor would ever endorse the Nominee and thus deprive the GOP of a winning strategy. But now I'm starting to believe they are Back on Track. Full speed ahead gentlemen. I double cat dare you.

Magats/TSF fear Taylor Swift because she can lead a movement of young voters to the polls.

I also thought the threats would keep her from publicly endorsing Kamala.
