One thing that strikes me about TaylorGate is how Taylor’s feminism doesn’t seem to matter much, if it even matters at all, in the eyes of the left.
I’ll bet that this must strike Taylor as surprising.
I’m glad if it does. This should be a learning experience for her. Good.
Taylor, being who she is, a young, pretty, white, non-Jewish woman, will never be truly accepted by the liberal government or it’s appendages. They will admit this freely- see Huffington Post, here. So, it’s a racial thing. In their eyes, it’s an immutable thing.
If they must, they can pretend otherwise. But in any moment of what they perceive as weakness, the mask will come off and the claws will come out.
This is especially true in Taylor’s case, since she has in the past been strongly identified with country music, the language of the South. Of The Confederacy. Of people who must be destroyed and the memories of whom must be eradicated entirely.
To them, she’s fundamentally a white person, and thus, innately and wholly evil.
The left will never, ever like Taylor, regardless of what she does, because of the fear that she might someday return to her roots. This will never change.
I’ll bet that even if she pulled a Miley, and totally rejected her past, covered herself in weird tats, shaved her head bald and pranced around naked at every opportunity- they still wouldn’t truly trust her. They would still view her with suspicion and fear, because of the small chance that she might reverse course and become like “old Taylor” at some point in the future.
I mean, Taylor took home a Best Album Grammy for Fearless, a country pop album. Which is unforgiveable.
Such is their mentality.
But, in the end, this is Taylor’s fight to lose.
She alone amongst the current crop of pop stars will have the ability to transition into the new era precisely because of her past. Precisely because of the reasons why she is so hated and feared by liberals.
Every new era must begin with a firm rejection of the old one. That’s a constant. In this current “liberal” era, it was the solid rejection of the authority of white men that started everything.
In the coming post-liberal era, it will be the rejection of multiracialism and innate human equality that gets the party started.
Taylor can survive and even thrive in such an environment. So can Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence, Kristen Stewart, the Fanning sisters, and the rest of my carefully chosen favorites. They’ll be O.K.
It’s people like Nicki Minaj, Jay-Z, and Barack Obama that have so much to fear from things to come. They will not survive. They have no chance.
Hence their fear and anger at Tay, and white people in general.
The future is Taylor’s, provided she doesn’t stand in its way.
