Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
Why do people currently give a shit about Taylor Swift's opinion if they used to be unaware of her?
The goal is the spread her influence and encourage more Americans to follow her. Particularly women, who are more likely to support Swift and Democrats anyway
I don't think any of this, if true, is bad btw. It's how "free and fair" elections have always worked in the United States, or at least for the past 60 years. And it's worth it if it means Trump does not win
Doesn't mean we should pretend that our government doesn't regularly do things like this though

Because they're morons? She's a manufactured celebrity. Her (or any other celebrity) opinion on politics should mean nothing to anyone.
