Fox show hosts said Taylor Swift "should be conservative" given her background, because to them it's an identity. (lemmy.ca)

This only makes sense when I realize that to conservatives, it's an identity. They think it's an identity that Taylor Swift should have because she's (presumably) white, popular, rich, good looking, Midwestern, Christian, etc.

To them politics is not about ideas, or policies, or problem solving, or good governance. It's all about identity.

I hope that Taylor Swift makes like a Dollywood type thing.

That would be so awesome.

I hope she parks her jet.

I'd probably make the trek.

It's tribalism, embraced by people who are proud of just barely graduating from animal status.

She likes whatever party makes her jet fuel cheaper.

Have you ever read I Can Tolerate Anything Except The Outgroup? If not, I suggest that you do.
