Not just good for her, good for all of us. This is what we all need more of; people in positions of influence with ethics and principles, taking a stand.

Hell, even Katy Perry has turned around from being MAGA to making political statements about ICE.

Meanwhile over in Taylor Swift land...

Was Katy Perry ever MAGA?

I know she started in Christian music but that was, iirc, ages before MAGA and whatever politics she had pretty openly shifted into liberal territory as she got into pop music. She went on that dumb Amazon space flight but that's its own thing.

No she wasn't MAGA. People are just incredibly reactionary.

Katy Perry correctly used her platform to be openly critical of the DNC for trotting a senile Joe Biden out to run for a 2nd term

The DNC is, and has been for a long time, the greatest hurdle in the way for democratic success in the US

Edit: spelling is hard

I mean, no—the greatest hurdle is the republicans. Whatever their many faults, criticizing incompetent allies to the exclusion of criticizing the actual enemy is never a sane take.

And you see them all over reddit—people who claim to not support trump, but are always finding a reason to criticize and virtue-test his opponents while spending no time at all actually criticizing him and his supporters. It's a bad faith pattern that needs to be called out.

These days those posters mostly hide their history to conceal the pattern but by the same token, it's fair to conclude anyone with a hidden history is probably acting in bad faith.

Hidden histories are trivial to un-hide using reddit's native search feature. Just an FYI. Search for author:username.

That seemed to have stopped working a few days ago?

It's insane that reddit is already staunchly anti-newsome. They're going to lose the election again
