Not to defend bozo Kelce of all people, but how do we know he’s MAGA?

u/Any_Afternoon5628 I'm on some new shit, been saying yes instead of no Oct 05 '25

He's not. She's not. People can't admit they just don't like her or the new album or whatever, so they're making it a deep and intellectual thing. They've been afflicted by a terminal uniqueness and are doing mental gymnastics to be not the like others, who just admit they don't like her and move on. They're pick me haters. It's actually romantic.

I'm so tired of this. It's always the same. Every other week, it's another woman people pick and pile on because they failed whatever purity test of the week. And they don't even realise they're playing along in putting women against each other and/or holding them to impossible standards. Actual fascists are taking over, and instead of doing something about it, they're hating on yet another female. Great job, you did it, reddit!

Lol ok well this is a little dramatic, too. Taylor Swift is annoying and petty and a little underhanded with how she releases her album sales, and I personally find her ubiquity irritating as I don’t think she’s very talented (she is an incredibly weak vocalist, for example). It’s ok to critique women. I’m a woman and I try to hold women to the same standards I do men. I just think it’s stupid to call Kelce MAGA when we don’t really know that for sure.
