This only makes sense when I realize that to conservatives, it's an identity. They think it's an identity that Taylor Swift should have because she's (presumably) white, popular, rich, good looking, Midwestern, Christian, etc.

To them politics is not about ideas, or policies, or problem solving, or good governance. It's all about identity.

The problem is that FOX isn't conservative, it's reactionary. Conservative fundamentally means that you stick to what you know works, so they should all be social democrats. Because that is what worked the last 70 years. Not neoliberalism or magnifying fringe social issues

I hope that Taylor Swift makes like a Dollywood type thing.

That would be so awesome.

I'd probably make the trek.

It's tribalism, embraced by people who are proud of just barely graduating from animal status.
