In response, various 4chan users derided Swift, many using explicit language including homophobic and racial slurs, and at times called for violence against her.
One wrote that Swift was "pro- f-- and anti-racist" — using a derogatory word for gay people — "so she must be executed."
Another wrote: "What a traitor b----. the trump curse will take her now."
For an artist who’s made many career pivots in her decade in music, Swift’s statement is immediately among her most controversial choices yet. And yet, it’s something she needed to do. Whether fans align themselves with her political leanings or not, Swift’s statement helps rectify one of her biggest contradictions as a star -- that she’s advocated for feminism, the LGBTQ community and the Me Too movement, making progressive ideals central to her public persona, while declining to share her party affiliation or endorse specific candidates.
So she has to endorse a democrat to validate her support for feminism, the LGBTQ community, and the Me Too movement. That's good to know....
Hopefully someone can say to Maeve McDermott's face how idiotic that paragraph is...

Basing your entertainment choices on politics is fucking stupid. But everybody does it!!!!!!
Liberals do it more
I love this paragraph:

I think they were just letting her know that she was on the other team, don't you agree Coug?
