On the surface, it seems kind of inexplicable why MAGA would hate Taylor Swift and believe all this nonsense about her and Travis Kelce. She's an attractive, charismatic woman that would normally fit the bill for a lot of MAGAs in terms of what an ideal partner should look like.

But consider that she's successfully gotten thousands to register to vote. And MAGAs know that a lot of those voters will likely skew Democratic. That's one big reason. But she's also insanely wealthy and influential.

I think this is the main reason they hate her - she symbolizes rising feminine power and influence, while their toxic "masculine" white cishet hegemony is crumbling in society. She is publicly generous with the crew members from her tour.

She has spoken out against Republicans in the past, expressing support for basic human rights for all, regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation. This makes their heads explode.

When you live a life of mediocrity, you can fall into a trap of resentment and jealousy when somebody massively successful comes along.

Not to mention the general misogyny that comes from disaffected young men who can't get a date. For these reasons and more, they can't stand her.

How about another perspective? It's important to know that those on the left or right sides of the aisle (and even MAGA) are not marching in lockstep. Be careful in painting with broad brush strokes. https://www.star-telegram.com/opinion/opn-columns-blogs/other-voices/article284892482.html

No. And those who approach them with that mindset are doing themselves a great disservice.
