F you, Taylor Swift!” shouted Megyn Kelly, “and f all of the people who want to see these children have body parts chopped off.”

For those not fluent in Republican crazy-speak, Kelly’s meltdown was triggered by Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris the night before, barely one hour after Trump all but face-planted on the debate stage. Kelly was especially triggered by Swift highlighting her appreciation for vice presidential nominee Tim Walz’s support of LGBTQ+ rights.

Other right-wing commentators, like Ben Shapiro, took another approach: making fun of Swifties. “Note: if you vote for a particular candidate because your favorite singer is doing so, please don’t vote. You are too stupid to vote,” wrote Shapiro on X. Meanwhile, Elon Musk, the richest man on the planet, threatened to impregnate her.

    I’m guessing he was trying to be funny. He so desperately wants to be seen as funny.

    I hope swift just ignores him.

      Hire a fucking comedian and hide him in a dungeon then or something. I don’t get why people with access to infinite resources don’t use them. With this degree of status why not have a social media proof reader? With this kind of money I’d be tempted to hire a dedicated butt wiper for Christ’s sake.

        What I don’t understand is why so many people are pretending the breeding fetish dude is joking.

      You just know that he has had a T-shirt printed with the “_ all the things!!!” meme, only captioned “Impregnate all the women”, for what he believes to be “epic lulz”
