Ameriška zvezdnica Taylor Swift je ena od najuspešnejših glasbenic na svetu. Čeprav se je dolga leta izogibala dajanju političnih izjav, je zaradi potegavščine na družabnem omrežju postala ikona neonacistov.

Leta 2013 je namreč uporabnica z imenom Emily Pattinson na svojem računu na družbnem omrežju Pinterest objavila več fotografij Swiftove, na katerih so bile zapisane kratke misli.

A te misli ni Swiftova nikoli izrekla, pač pa je Pattinsonova na fotografijah zapisala navedke, ki so jih v resnici izrekli vodja nacistične Nemčije Adolf Hitler, pa tudi razvpiti islamski terorist Osama bin Laden in sovjetski komunistični diktator Josip Stalin.

Fotografije Swiftove z njenimi lažnimi navedki so se z deljenjem kot požar razširili po različnih družabnih omrežjih. In čeprav so že avgusta 2013 ameriški mediji poročali o tem, da gre za potegavščino, se te fotografije z navedki še vedno delijo po spletu.

Kot piše nemški časnik Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, je pred ameriškimi predsedniškimi volitvami leta 2016 neonacistom naklonjena spletna stran The Daily Stormer svetlolaso lepotico celo razglašala za arijsko boginjo in pisala, da je Swiftova v resnici nacistka, ki samo čaka na zmago Donalda Trumpa, da bi razkrila svoja politična prepričanja.

A zdaj, pred ameriškimi novembrskimi vmesnimi kongresnimi volitvami, je Swiftova res razkrila svoja politična prepričanja, ki pa niso ravno naklonjena Trumpovim republikancem. Na družbenem omrežju Instagram je namreč zapisala, da podpira boj proti rasizmu in da se zavzema za pravice žensk in LGBT skupnosti.

Zato bo v rodnem Tennesseeju podprla demokratska kandidata – kandidata za senat Phila Bredesena in kandidata za predstavniški dom Jima Cooperja. Swiftova je še zapisala, da a republikanska kandidatka za senat Marsha Blackburn ne zastopa idej, za katere se sama zavzema.

I’m writing this post about the upcoming midterm elections on November 6th, in which I’ll be voting in the state of Tennessee. In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now. I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country. I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent. I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love. Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha Blackburn. As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values. I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives. Please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on who most closely represents your values. For a lot of us, we may never find a candidate or party with whom we agree 100% on every issue, but we have to vote anyway. So many intelligent, thoughtful, self-possessed people have turned 18 in the past two years and now have the right and privilege to make their vote count. But first you need to register, which is quick and easy to do. October 9th is the LAST DAY to register to vote in the state of TN. Go to vote.org and you can find all the info. Happy Voting!
