Then in 2020, Swift came out for Joe Biden, and urged her fans to get out and vote.&nbsp;&nbsp;Millions did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">And what about Travis?&nbsp;&nbsp;He is a prominent figure in drug company Pfizer\u2019s campaign encouraging folks to get the Covid vaccine.&nbsp;&nbsp;And that makes for a toxic combination as far as the MAGA-Republicans are concerned:&nbsp;&nbsp;a Biden supporter and a \u201cvaxxer\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Now all of that sound fantastical to seasoned political observers.\u00a0\u00a0Attacking the Swift-Kelce relationship, the Homecoming King and Queen of the Nation, is like attacking America itself.\u00a0\u00a0But it\u2019s happening, and not just in the dark corners of the Internet on Redditt or Telegram.\u00a0\u00a0There\u2019s even the \u201crumor\u201d that somehow the \u201cBiden Crime Family\u201d and the \u201cDeep State\u201d conspired to raise Swift\u2019s to the top of the charts, then place her with Kelce in the biggest sports venue in election year 2024 America, the Super Bowl.\u00a0\u00a0A lot of fans (Bengal fans) think the referees are generous in calling penalties for the Chiefs,\u00a0\u00a0but who knew that Joe Biden was behind it all?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Deep State<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Let\u2019s see, rig Nashville (a MAGA stronghold), and rig the NFL.\u00a0\u00a0If Democrats were that good, how did we ever lose the House of Representatives or all of those state Governorships?\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s fantastical, and it must be to all but the most dedicated MAGA-hat owners.\u00a0\u00a0But it\u2019s still a part of a much bigger MAGA strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">It all goes back to Steve Bannon, and the \u201cDeep State\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;Bannon believes that the \u201cestablishment\u201d, the foundational institutions of the American government are corrupted by the \u201cprogressives\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;Every time MAGA-world can weaken those institutions in the eyes of Americans, it makes an autocratic leader figure look better.&nbsp;&nbsp;And their strong-man, of course, is Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">That\u2019s why the MAGA-Republican House of Representatives is threatening impeachment for President Biden and members of his Cabinet.&nbsp;&nbsp;Those impeachment charges are doomed in the Senate, but that\u2019s not the point.&nbsp;&nbsp;The point is to shake American confidence in the institution of the Presidency (while Biden holds the office) and his administration.&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s also the way MAGA makes \u201clemonade out of lemons\u201d in the multiple Court cases Trump faces.&nbsp;&nbsp;Trump isn\u2019t really an insurrectionist, or careless with classified documents, or a sexual assaulter, or a serial harasser or a crooked businessman.&nbsp;&nbsp;No, he\u2019s a victim of the Deep State, of progressive-infected institutions.&nbsp;&nbsp;So if you can\u2019t trust them, you must turn to an autocrat; because, as we \u201cknow\u201d, \u201cOnly HE can fix it\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The Congress, the Executive Branch, the Courts:&nbsp;&nbsp;now the MAGA-Republican world is attacking two other American institutions.&nbsp;&nbsp;They\u2019ve already taken some runs against the NFL, we all remember Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the National Anthem.&nbsp;&nbsp;Now they can double-down against that American institution, and get back at Taylor Swift in the process.&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s just another \u201cbrick in the wall\u201d (definitely not a Swift song) in deconstructing the Deep State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">If I were a betting man, I\u2019d bet on Taylor and Travis against the MAGA nonsense.&nbsp;&nbsp;But if I were a betting man, I would already have lost my shirt betting for the Bengals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey &#8211; I&#8217;m back!!!
