Influencers hope marriage will ‘conservatize’ Taylor and Travis
As we beforehand reported, Donald Trump’s response to Taylor and Travis’ engagement was shockingly constructive.
(The president has criticized Swift and Kelce on quite a few events.)
Now, a number of distinguished conservative influencers have adopted swimsuit, with many expressing their hope that Taylor and Travis’ engagement would be the starting of a nationwide cultural shift.
Commentator Charlie Kirk predicts that marriage will “conservatize” each Taylor and Travis.
“Maybe one of the reasons why Taylor Swift has been so just kind of annoyingly liberal over the last couple of years is that she’s not yet married and she doesn’t have children. I say this non-sarcastically,” Kirk mentioned on a latest episode of his podcast, in response to the Day by day Beast.

“Taylor Swift might deradicalize herself. She might come back down to reality,” he continued, including:
“Deep down, I think Taylor Swift actually was raised as a conservative that has gotten kind of caught up in this metropolitan liberal stuff, and she doesn’t quite have an attachment to the conservative backbone that she was raised in, but this might reattach her in the best possible way.”
Taylor, in fact, isn’t a “radical” by any definition, however in occasions of utmost political polarization similar to this one, wild allegations change into normalized.
And Charlie’s not the one one who thinks that Taylor is about to toss her ideas overboard and start combating for the opposite facet.

“I think the greatest contribution they could make to western civilization at this point would be to have a bunch of babies and persuade all these people who mindlessly follow them to also have a bunch of babies,” conservative pundit Scott Jennings mentioned on CNN this week.
“I just think if they have a bunch of babies, it would help the birth rate.”
Far-right journalist Ben Shapiro echoed Jennings’ sentiments, describing the engagement “unironically an excellent thing” and tweeing, “I hope many other single people follow their example.”
“I think Taylor Swift getting married is a massive net-positive for society and a huge blow to the woke movement,” conservative influencer Matt Van Swol chimed in. “Showing people who have spent a lifetime not growing up, now taking responsibility and commitment is great.”

These commentators are all following swimsuit with Trump, who mentioned of Kelce and Swift:
“I think he’s a great player and he’s a great guy and I think that she’s a terrific person. So I wish them a lot of luck.”
Clearly, marriage and household should not inherently conservative or liberal phenomena — in actual fact, for most individuals, such milestones are virtually completely apolitical.
So we suppose you’d need to possess a better familiarity with the philosophies of the Charlie Kirks of the world than we care to accumulate with a view to perceive why these of us really feel in any other case.
However hey, at the very least for as soon as, the Left and Proper are on the identical web page about one thing.
If solely Taylor and Travis may get engaged each week!
