F you, Taylor Swift!” shouted Megyn Kelly, “and f all of the people who want to see these children have body parts chopped off.”

For those not fluent in Republican crazy-speak, Kelly’s meltdown was triggered by Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris the night before, barely one hour after Trump all but face-planted on the debate stage. Kelly was especially triggered by Swift highlighting her appreciation for vice presidential nominee Tim Walz’s support of LGBTQ+ rights.

Other right-wing commentators, like Ben Shapiro, took another approach: making fun of Swifties. “Note: if you vote for a particular candidate because your favorite singer is doing so, please don’t vote. You are too stupid to vote,” wrote Shapiro on X. Meanwhile, Elon Musk, the richest man on the planet, threatened to impregnate her.

    No, but telling someone they shouldn’t be allowed to vote is saying you believe they should be disenfranchised.

      Again.

      You’re saying things I did not say.

      At no point did I suggest he should he not be allowed to vote.

      I’m saying if he truly believes that stupid people should not vote…. then he should not vote himself.

      This is substantially different that disallowing him to vote.

      Tl/dr? I’m just calling him stupid.
