Short of overt cheating, the regime is also known to employ soft techniques to manipulate the electorate – one way they do this, as well-known in conservative circles with the Hunter Biden laptop story scandal in the leadup to the 2020 race, is by outright censoring stories and platforms, either directly or indirectly, by labeling as “disinformation” any source they consider not credible — which is almost always happens to be the source telling the truth.
Another form of manipulation the regime and its propaganda agents in the mainstream media likes to regularly employ may be classified as a type of psychological warfare – which is readily on display with the Taylor Swift psyop.
Swift has been systematically targeted for the size of her fanbase, much as Beyonce was under Barack Obama. Swift boasts 95 million followers on X, formerly known as Twitter, alone, and hundreds of millions across all her social media platforms.
Thus, the reasoning goes, even just a fraction of that following would be enough to potentially swing tens of thousands of votes in Biden’s favor. Remember, 2020 was “won” by Biden with just 50,000 or so votes across 3 or 4 key battleground states.
Of just Swift’s X following, 50,000 represents a measly .05% of her total number of followers. It is therefore perfectly reasonable that an endorsement from someone with Swift’s influence can, for better or worse, determine the outcome of a close presidential race.
But the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce psyop goes deeper than mere social media reach. And this is readily apparent based on the regime’s full-throated meltdown after a handful of MAGA-aligned influencers, such as conservative talk show host, Mike Crispi, Trump advocate, Laura Loomer, and former presidential candidate, Vivek Ramaswamy, among others, raised the possibility that Swift may be actively weaponized as part of the Biden regime’s arsenal to help bring down Donald Trump.
The Left’s response to this mere suggestion says everything: if the Taylor Swift psyop was just another absurd “conspiracy theory” peddled by a handful of “Far-Right” cranks, as every mainstream outlet – from MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell to the New York Times – would have you believe, then what, pray tell, explains the scale of the retaliation by every single powerful mainstream outlet in America, whose rush to “debunk” the theory was noteworthy for how seemingly coordinated it was. If there was absolutely no credence to the allegation, mainstream media would not waste any time or energy “discrediting” the theory – or risk giving platforms to dissident voices whose opinions they deem anathema in the first place.
It is striking that Taylor Swift, who has been in the public eye for decades, only just this year took an interest in professional sports, the same year a consequential presidential election also happens to be taking place.
It is also noteworthy that she took an interest in the sports league that remains the most popular among Americans overall – the NFL, which still gathers tens of millions of eyeballs from both sides of the aisle.
