I know Weirdo is the current kinda forced (IMO) word we're hurling at the magas these days, but that kind of behavior is legit weird. Like really weird.
There's obviously the "some people have more money than brains" angle of dropping 4K on something so you can destroy it.
Then there's the "I'm a grown-ass man, and I'm so insecure about a female celebrity endorsing a politician I disagree with that I'm going to drop 4K so that I can publicly and in front of cameras showcase that insecurity for the entire world to see, while gloating and being proud of it" angle. (Which by the way, smoothbrain magas, serves to amplify her endorsement, not diminish it.)
I can't promise I'm not going to drive around with "Fuck Donald Trump" blaring and my windows down all during election day and the day after (regardless of outcome), but I'm not going to spend $4k for the privilege, and I'm sure as hell not going to do it for an assembled audience.
This is just sad. He could have given it to a kid on a cancer ward who loves Taylor Swift. He probably has grandkids who love her music, they could have had it. He surely has kids in his neighbourhood who love her music, could have donated it to a youth music group or something. But this is what he chooses to do with it. To impress a man who still doesn't know how to apply foundation after 50+ years of using it, apparently just rolling his face across a tableful of it each morning like he's fingerprinting his head.
If Trump doesn't even so much as 'truth' about this, I think this silly fuck is gonna feel genuine grief. He's probably expecting a phone call, or even a meeting & photo op next time Trump's in town. "I spent 4 grand to do this, surely he'll notice me!"
This is just like the chicken-hawk conservative dipshits buying expensive French wine just so they could publicly pour it down a storm drain in front of reporters. And all because France didn't agree with the invasion of Iraq (which we now know was founded on lies).
It reminds me of the weirdoes buying wine to splill it down the drain when France had the audacity of telling the truth in the un during the whole Irak mess. Of course the wine makers and sellers were fine with that.
Imagine this 65 year old man, sitting at home listing to All Too Well, because he could really relate to dating a Jake Gyllenhaal type, then Taylor tweets that she’s all in for Harris, and his world comes crashing down.
So I watched the video and watched as the guy was handed the hammer with the guitar. Was the auction a chance to destroy the guitar or just the guitar? Cause it looks like the former and the media is just reporting what will piss people off.
That makes no sense. It's sexist too. Look at it from this angle... If we didn't know anything about who Taylor Swift was and how she behaved herself, and we only knew she signs on a see thru bikini, then things would be different. Ohhh these are her $4000 panties! Save them for prosperity. But instead we have an instrument she uses to transform her intellectual prominence into music and now it's gotta trash that shit. It's evil. If she was a Republican racist piece of shit they would be taking that guitar to some altar somewhere. Ultimately it's a sexist action where they don't value her political views.
