Jordan Sather, a prominent promoter of the QAnon conspiracy theory, suggested that Swift’s life had been orchestrated as part of a sinister plot to encourage her fans to vote.

There a few other people quoted in there but it's all the same sinister plan they are proposing: The psyop is encouraging people to vote.

Republicans see large voter turnout as a bad thing because they are less popular than they want you to think they are. This is not new, it's just a new target.

Better headline:

The Right will believe literally anything except reality because they don't want to accept they're unpopular.

The right is free to have kid Rock or whatever loser they have on their side, do the same things Taylor is doing, if they're so concerned. Except all she's doing is encouraging people to vote, which as we all know is bad for Republicans

Qanon? Not a psyop. Fake electors? Not a psyop. Fake evidence of election fraud? Not a psyop. Inciting insurrection at the capital? Not a psyop.

Popular woman wants right to healthcare? PSYOP!!!!

Oh thank god. Republicans are gonna piss off the Swifties.

Lazy projection. The Trump campaign was already literally part of Russian PsyOps a decade ago.

The whole article could have just been this:

it remains unclear how encouraging people to vote can be construed as election interference.

But one of the weirdest things is how conservatives are totally obsessed with how many people she's dated. One of the tweets in the article says she "runs through men like water." Ok? Even if it were somehow unacceptable to date multiple people throughout the whole of your twenties, god forbid, exactly what in the fuck does it have to do with "election interference."

I love how every male conservative leader can be married 5 times while paying for abortions for their girlfriends, but regular dating is where they draw the line.

It's because the GOP knows that more voters means they lose. Centrists don't exist. There's no middle ground between Ds and Rs anymore.

No one is 50/50 on Trump.

The only Swift conspiracy I believe is that she and the NFL fabricated her relationship with Travis Kelce to cross-pollinate the fan bases.

This the only political statement I needed to support Swift

Swift is a force of good, as much as any insanely rich person can be. She alone may end up responsible for tens of thousands of young women registering to vote between now and election day. One of her Instagram posts drove 35,000 voter registrations. Republicans have every reason to fear the Swiftie factor.

Sorry not a swift person but isnt she just saying to her fans, you should register to vote and vote because its importent? Wish psyops was that simple.

So, Russian interference was a "hoax" (according to most of the radicalized right wing, the Enlightened Centrists and of course, a lot of the unhelpful left who seem to enjoy being useful idiots), but Taylor Swift is part of the Deep State or something?

XD XD

Are they upset how so many people could yield so much influence to one person ?

And they want a dictator.

I'm so sick of Absolutists. They create monarchies, wealth gaps, and Spanish Inquisitions.

Lmao, even if it's true the actual complaint here is they're mad the Democrats did it too, only conservatives are allowed to run info ops during elections!

Why the right thinks Taylor Swift is a government PsyOp designed to swing the 2024 election

Because they're stupid, conspiracy-theory believing fucks.

Just when I think conservatives can't get any dumber they always find a way. It's remarkable, really.

Republicans brains go burrrrrrr

TIL opinions+ talent + marketing = psyop.

Is every political campaign a psyop too?

The Democrat party can't even advertise when Biden does a good thing properly. You think they're smart and organised enough to run a sophisticated psyop like that?

Finally, my tax dollars are doing something useful.

The answer is simple, because reality and the truth almost never align with the goals of the right. So they invent these fantastical conspiracies to explain why the world is the way it is.

Conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer even claimed that Swift’s entire Eras Tour was nothing more than “a Democrat Party Voter Registration drive

Yes, because the voter registration drive would only 100% register democrats or people who they know will vote democratic. No republicans/GOP voters could possibly get registered.

Well now it’s obvious - the only option is for the GOP to buy all of the tickets to Taylor Swift concerts, thus preventing democrats from being able to register to vote.

While I don't listen to her stuff intentionally, I do enjoy her tunes for the most part that I've heard. I also recognize her talent and influence.

I think it's really wonderful for her to encourage her fans to register to vote...

The more people who vote the harder it is to maintain minority rule.

Anything that hinders the GOP is a government PsyOp. Anything that helps the GOP is God's will.

Delusional fuckers.

Republicans are attacking Swift/Swifties? I need to buy more popcorn!

Fools! How can they not see that Taylor Swift's tour is a secret op to install 5G towers all over the world that will make our penises fall off? Wake up, sheeple!

The right thinks what?

So, the same people who religiously listen to Ted Nugent are amazed that a different singer could influence people?

I mean most of these huge pop artists are pure astroterf from the record labels. But what does this have to do with Trump?

If your political party can be easily brought down by a pop singer, your political party’s problem isn’t pop singers.

Idk it seems pretty reliant on carbon chemistry. There’s people involved and everything.

I've said for years she was designed in a lab and programmed for public consumption.

I'm gonna be proven right y'know. Just waiting for Trav to get back to me and confirm.

They believe it’s a PsyOp because it’s what they would do if they could. It’s all projection.

Makes me love her even more

You know, even the most batfuck stupid conspiracy theories usually have at least some grain of truth to them, even in a "six degrees of separation" kind of way. At least you could trace the line of thinking back to its roots. But this?

This barely even qualifies as a conspiracy. This is what a Walmart version of ChatGPT would come up with if you told it to come up with a conspiracy theory based on a random word salad that just happens to contain both the words "swift" and "trump". There is no logic here. It doesn't even make sense. It's like trying to treat "Person woman man camera TV" as if it were a real sentence with meaning. It's like saying "Penguins paint rocks because giraffes see in purple." It's a stream of consciousness from someone who hasn't taken his meds today.

This is just Trump and his team's usual tactic of distorting the meaning of words in order to lessen their impact when they're used against him. Ever notice how everything is an insurrection now? Everything is election interference. Every President gets impeached. That way, when those words are used to describe him, at least a percentage of people won't look at it a major scandal surrounding a man engaged in criminal activity. They'll look at it as just another wild conspiracy theory, just like all the others, and to be mentally dismissed just as quickly. And that's the whole point. In his mind, his behavior doesn't look so bad if "everyone is doing it."

Maybe this is the best simulation/timeline. Idk anymore.

Laura loomer, more like Laura groomer

So being named Time's Person of the Year is a PsyOp, just like Trump's in 2016?

So Taylor Swift's entire life has been engineered to deny Trump a second term as President? She was born in the late 80s, back then it would have been preposterous to think Trump would have gone into Politics successfully at all, much less have been elected President once....

Accusations being projections and whatnot...

Just casually glance at literally any conservative media age who funds it.

Let's hope they're right

as if anything that happens on this world at this point is natural. 'side from fuckin, ain't nothin.

they blame everything they cannot understand on a conspiracy, because they are cowards

Yes, by all means #GOP, please pick a fight with the most popular & well-liked billionaire on the planet.

It's like these idiots are in Salem in the 1690s.

The problem they have is voting for people that won’t give them the mental care they so desperately need. Ironic, actually.

Excuse me what the fuck?

Eh, I feel like this is just another meaningless article meant to shift blame away from the electoral college probably.

Conservatives didn't mind 15 years ago when the Dixie Chicks were stumping for George W Bush. I was a conservative back then and I remember it clearly.

Their ringer has spotted our ringer.

There is seriously no end to the insane bullshit people like this think of. I couldn’t have thought of this if I tried spending hours thinking of the most ridiculously dumb theory possible.

While I don’t think it is some sort of stupid political conspiracy, I do think that she is being advertised/shilled a crazy amount.

It feels like it blew up in less than a year. She’s fucking everywhere now.

Edit: to the fans (or Swifties or whatever you want to be called), I’m in no way talking shit about her. I’m simply pointing out that she’s in the news a lot. Stop PM’ing me bullshit. I also don’t care about your downvotes.
