Can you pull up a quote of her pushing socialism?

If you're looking for a quote of her saying "I'm a socialist," you won't find one. That doesn't mean we're morons who can't judge people's words and actions for ourselves.

Socialism cannot succeed in a nation that allows individual gun ownership. Swift supports gun control.

quote:
“No one should have to go to school in fear of gun violence,” Swift wrote on March 23, 2018. “Or to a nightclub. Or to a concert. Or to a movie theater. Or to their place of worship. I’ve made a donation to show my support for the students for the March For Our Lives campaign, for everyone affected by these tragedies, and to support gun reform.”

She's a proponent of critical theory efforts, which go hand in hand with socialism.

quote:
“While there’s no information yet as to when the Equality Act will go before the Senate for a vote, we do know this: Politicians need votes to stay in office,” Swift said in a release posted to X, called Twitter at the time. “Votes come from the people. Pressure from massive amounts of people is a major way to push politicians towards positive change.”

quote:
Swift made a major political statement on June 17, 2019, with the release of her music video “You Need To Calm Down,” featuring several prominent LGBT figures and celebrities such as Ellen DeGeneres, Hayley Kiyoko, Todrick Hall, Adam Lambert, and more.

The song includes several pointed lyrics at conservatives and anti-LGBT activists: “You are somebody that we don’t know / But you’re comin’ at my friends like a missile / Why are you mad? / When you could be GLAAD?” and “Shade never made anybody less gay.”

At the end of the video, Swift asks people to sign the change.org petition for the Equality Act.

She once called Trump, the best president since Reagan, an autocrat, and stated she would have endorsed Hillary.

quote:
In a rare interview where she expressed her political views, Swift told the Guardian that Trump’s presidency is an “autocracy.”

“We’re a democracy — at least, we’re supposed to be — where you’re allowed to disagree, dissent, debate,” she said.

She also confirmed in the interview that she is staunchly pro-abortion rights and would have endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016 if she did speak up, explaining she was going through personal matters that year.

She even repeats the nonsensical lie that Trump is a white supremacist. This only helps the party pushing socialism and greatly harms our country

quote:
Swift endorsed Biden in 2020, writing to Trump in a tweet following his post on the George Floyd protests that included the inflammatory phrase, “When the looting starts, the shooting starts.”

“After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence?” she posted. “‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November. @realdonaldtrump”

So, can we use our brains or are we supposed to wait for her to specifically call herself a socialist before we can admit she is one?

quote:
A Redfield & Wilton Strategies poll released Monday found that nearly 20% of voters, mostly 35 and younger, said they are likely to vote for a candidate Swift endorses.
