#bc this isnt just a “celebrity thing”... we're talking about the president of a country encouraging people to hate this artist

i'll see people scared of trump's administration 24/7, i'll see people pointing out all the harm he's doing 24/7, but then as soon as taylor swift becomes his target it's like everything turns into a joke. or "it's not that serious" anymore.

i mean, that stadium went crazy with cheers when they saw trump on the screen, then booed with the same energy when they saw Taylor on the same screen. all those people together, in one place, cheering for a man who spreads nothing but violence and hate, then booing a woman that he already declared to hate. and then said man still shared that exact same moment on social media for everyone to see, along with the words "the world is healing".

but somehow people still expect her, and her boyfriend, and her family, and her friends, and everyone around her, to speak up and stand up to him. all the time, at any chance they get. it's like... i dont get it, really. for everyone to treat it so lightly instead of acknowledging what a dangerous situation can be for her at any event/place she's at genuinely doesn't make any sense to me.

so yeah, in the end, i dont think it's stupid to think that sometimes the best thing you can do "for your girlfriend" is to play the game and avoid putting even a bigger target on her back. you can make it about anything you want, but from the way i see it, there's absolutely nothing else he could've said that couldn't have potentially made it worse tonight.
