**** that Super Bowl. 2 nutty fkn plays to end each half. There is no God.
It's a really strange angle, for me, to hate on celebrities or sports figures or non-political professionals because of their politics.This won't make sense to you - hell, it doesn't make complete sense to me, because I'm not big on letting something else ruin something that I enjoy.
But...the people it makes the most mad are people who don't like another area of pop culture "infringing" on an area of pop culture they like. There was very little overlap, before they started dating, between Swifties and NFL fans. The NFL actively embracing their courtship, even though it makes all the sense in the world from a business perspective, drives them even crazier.
Also, bonus points if you have strongly held conservative political beliefs. Swift is by no means a political bomb thrower, but she waded into the political waters in 2018 on the Democratic side so if you don't like her getting in the way of the game, plus you're very conservative and she has politics you disagree with, then you can see where this is going. I've already had one family member say that her dating Travis Kelce and the Chiefs making it to the SB is a "liberal psyop."
Much of the hating on non-political people (and even political people) for their politics is virtue signaling.It's a really strange angle, for me, to hate on celebrities or sports figures or non-political professionals because of their politics.
There's PLENTY of extremely lousy professional politicians to hate on who almost certainly have much more thought out (if often awful to me) opinions AND might actually get them into official policy.
No matter what the My Pillow guy or Kid Rock or Taylor Swift or the NFL or that kind of person thinks or says about politics, they're pretty useless in that area.
I'm much more a fan of hating on those in positions of ACTUAL political power who are ACTUALLY trying to do awful political things.
If I knew her music, I might hate on Taylor Swift for that. I've used a MyPillow and it was overpriced. Kid Rock is a sideshow act and it works for him. The NFL plays the highest quality football I can watch.
I'll not listen to any of the above about politics nor do I care if they agree with me or not. They've every right to their opinion but I don't care what it is and it's not worth my time.
I grew up in an era of spirited discussions in the den or on the porch between men who'd served in WWII. They didn't see everything the same way at all but everyone had their say.Much of the hating on non-political people (and even political people) for their politics is virtue signaling.
There is also much less of a tolerance than there used to be for political disagreements. The personal and political used to be separated (i.e., I really disagree with you politically about XYZ, but I think you're a good person and we can be friends). Today, people are much more likely to think "because you think X about Y, that makes you a bad person, and I can't associate with you." We also tend to believe the least charitable interpretation of a person's statements or behavior, and assume that they have the worst of intentions.
