    The entire club of billionaires are flying everywhere in their planes. Yet I only see memes about Taylor Swift and her use of private planes over the past week or so.

    This could possibly not have anything to do with the fact that the ‘conservative’ movement being scared shitless about her activity to make sure people go out to vote?

      You see memes about Taylor Swift and Elon Musk because they have both tried to stop people publishing their plane’s flight logs to the internet.

      You’re seeing the Streisand effect in action. Every billionaire who owns a private jet is unconscionable, but those two get the attention because of their actions.

      Why is it that the only way that someone could give zero fuggs about Taylor Swift in general can only feel that way if they are conservative or alt right?

      What do you think is going to happen, I’m going to read that and go “whaaa… WELL I DON’T WANT PEOPLE TO THINK I’M A REPUBLICAN!” and overcompensate by putting on a front by obsessing over Tay Tay?

      I don’t give a crap about Taylor Swift. I don’t give a crap about most celebrities. Politics has nothing to do with it.

      This is exactly it. It’s really sad to see so many people here buying into it. Reddit, sure, but I genuinely thought people here would be a little more resistant to propaganda
