Marsha Blackburn?

In case you are unaware, there has been a long-running feud between Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn and pop music icon Taylor Swift, dating back to 2018 when Swift abandoned her whole "staying out of politics, Reba McEntire-style" thing and took to Instagram to tell people not to vote for Blackburn, on account of how terrible she is.

Notably, this was also the first time that I abandoned my own beef with Swift (she knows what she did) and took her side in a thing, whereas I had previously gone to incredible lengths to avoid doing that, including developing an affinity for Katy Perry.

The feud has been particularly awkward for Blackburn, as she represents Tennessee, a state that is very proud to call their own (even though, you know, she is from Pennsylvania) and also probably does not want to get on the wrong side of the Swifties. Because they can be a little, shall we say, intense.

1. And we say again "social economy, democratic society."

I know, too difficult a concept for a repug, sorry.

2. I live in Tennessee....

....and I most definitely am not "proud to call her [my] own."......

She is an embarrassment. My family and friends loathe the woman.

Sadly, though, I live in a red state so am not surprised that the majority of people think she is wonderful.

I did not know she was from Pennsylvania.

Oh, by the way, I have never understood why some people don't care for Taylor Swift. I admit that as a senior I don't really keep up much with celebrity feuds and other celebrity news. I have to say that I have respect for her if she spoke out against Blackburn!

Thank you for the tweet and the link!

3. Blackburn has to be the stupidest person ever to

carry the title of US Senator. And that's with stiff competition from some of her fellow Rethugs.

4. What's up with the "new" republican party . . .

they all are bat shit crazy. If they were in control, the USA would be fucked up as well as the rest of world. I don't even think they would be able to protect us from an attack because they are nuts.

Just remember with shithole, he was destroying the USA slowly with the help of his jacked up party.

5. Thought she was from Mississippi

Doesn't really matter. She is still really stupid and incompetent.

6. And the score is Swift, 10 v Blackburn, 0.

It was a pleasant surprise when I found out that Taylor Swift's politics are decidedly to the left.

Blackburn remains a zero.
