Trump instinctively goes after women. More than anything else, competent, strong women scare the hell out of him. He is more threatened by women than by immigrants. As evidence, look at his approach to sex. He pursues hookers and porn stars, He described his seduction techniques in the Access Hollywood tape. He has to pay $82 million for his treatment of E. Jean Carroll. All of the women he hangs around with are made of plastic. They have ā€œa hand full of gimme and a mouth full of much obliged.ā€ Nikki Haley haunts him. So did the Black women vote counters in Georgia. In any dispute, look who Trump goes after, the woman . And the uneducated, low employment, white boys love it.

What they're doing to Taylor is a little scary, and a lot disgusting. She's not really that political, not like a James Woods or a Roseanne Barr on the left or anything; she's too busy for any of that. And is there any campaign on the left to villainize Roseanne like we're seeing from these people after Taylor? And Roseanne is very political, and has said some deranged stuff. Taylor has done nothing of the sort. She's being targeted for things she hasn't done and isn't going to do, and when it turns out she doesn't do them, these people will think their intimidation tactics worked, and they'll just continue doing them. Taylor Swift has done nothing to justify their hatred, but these people are broken and rotten, and they live in an alternate reality of their own making.
