I see many Taylor swift posts with plane. Plane out of plane and more plane out of plane. Walking dog in plane, why so much plane?

I feel like there’s also been an upswing in anti-Taylor Swift stuff in general. It’s been growing since she started her most recent tour and re-recording older albums where she doesn’t own rights to the original recordings, which has lead to her dominating pop music radio stations and being named TIME magazine’s Person of the Year. The issues of ticket scalping from her tour publicly angered her and led to rumbles of a potential congressional investigation of Ticketmaster and Live Nation’s virtual monopoly over concert venues (which is long overdue). But the backlash really seemed to pick up this fall after she started dating a player in the National Football League and attending as many of his games as her schedule allowed. As one of the top-earning celebrities on earth currently, the cameras would often show her reaction after he had a good play, perhaps more often than they would if it was another family member. She would also be shown again a few other times during the games. I don’t know if it’s really happening, but there have been some reports that Taylor Swift fanatics who would not normally watch football have started watching in hopes of seeing her. All of this seems to have made a lot of people mad, but particularly a segment of conservative men for some reason. There was a conspiracy theory going around shortly before her boyfriend’s team played in the league’s championship game that the whole thing was rigged and that after his team won she would give a speech endorsing Joe Biden for president (never mind that the boyfriend’s team had won the championship last year and four years ago and lost the championship three years ago, making them a dominant contender in recent years). It’s been strange to me how many people I’ve seen who are very vocal about climate change being a hoax are suddenly posting about how much Taylor Swift uses her private jet and how bad the emissions from it are, making them strange bedfellows with climate change believers who also oppose private jet use in general. I’ve also started seeing memes from conservative people about how much they hate her music and would never want to listen to her performance, even though I’m pretty sure some of these people were fans of hers back from her debut as a country music singer-songwriter up until fairly recently, even after she transitioned to mainstream pop. I find the whole thing very strange, like out of 1984 when the war opponent would suddenly flip and everyone insisted they’d always hated the new opponent and loved the new ally, their old opponent.
This is a well thought out post but it’s hard to get through it because of the lack of paragraphs.
Not to be a dick, everyone’s allowed to post how they want but it’s a bit hard to read, for me on my phone at least.
Lol I read the first two sentences and was like “sounds good but I can’t read this block of text” and gave up.
If I was the type, I’d work on making it a new copypasta
Don’t let your memes be dreams
I agree it’s difficult to get through, I think it’s worth reading though. Where would you have put the paragraph breaks?

I’ve been trying to think of how to do a meme about wingnuts loving plane memes at the moment, but I’m only good at stealing templates… 100% this is ham fisted right wing astroturfing.
It absolutely is, and it’s super disappointing to see everyone here lapping it up. Is celebrity private jet usage a problem? Yes. Should we maybe stop and think why it’s just Taylor Swift being targeted? Also yes.

There’s just been an uptick in Taylor Swift related stuff in general.
Idk it’s a lot simpler for me. She hit a billion, she’s on the shit list. Her plane can stay grounded and the memes will flow til then. No such thing as a good billionaire.
I actually really like a lot of the stuff she is doing. She’s fighting Ticketmaster. She’s fighting shitty copyright laws. She does a lot of philanthropy. Still though, you don’t get to a billion without exploitation, and all billionaires should absolutely be the target of criticism.
