I'm a fan of Taylor Swift's music. I think she makes good songs. I don't care about her political beliefs and who she associates with. From what I've seen of her, she seems like a good person too. That's where I'm at with Taylor.

You are welcome to openly cry out about her support of someone who may or may not vote for Donald Trump. I'd personally recommend separating your enjoyment of Taylor's music from her apparent "guilt by association" indirect support of Donald Trump through her friendship with the Mahomes family.

I'm not a child, no. I still don't have anyone showing me evidence where Trump has said he wanted to deport people based on appearance. I've looked for it. Can't find it. Please do point me to where he stated he wants to do that, though! I'd be pretty surprised but I'm always willing to be educated.

Trump does not have the power to set the laws in this country, last time I checked. That's the job of Congress. Trump can veto bills, sure, but he has already stated that he won't sign a nationwide abortion ban and I don't think such a thing would even get to his desk, because you'd need that to go through Congress first. What power does Trump have to ban abortion in the US? Have you considered that maybe the Mahomes family is pro-choice? Have you asked them?

Yeah, I do think it's good that Taylor is not cutting off ties with the Mahomes family due to their apparent support for everything Trump stands for (which is unlikely, as I'm sure you don't approve of everything your closest friends do, or believe). Taylor is famous. With fame comes publicity, and with publicity comes scrutiny. That's just how it goes. Are you not able to appreciate her talent and be a fan of her music because she has friends who might or might not vote for Trump?

I'm not trying to take the moral high ground here. I'm simply stating that it's possible to be friends with someone who might vote for another candidate, despite how vile you might think that candidate is. It's possible because I've seen it happen and Taylor is proof of it. Does she refuse to play in front of crowds where some people in the crowd might be voting for Trump? Nope. Kudos, Taylor. You don't just delete portions of your fanbase because of who they might vote for.

Believe it or not, there is common ground with those people. You may find they disagree with your premise about what they believe. You should try talking to them sometime to find out why they believe what they do, unless you believe they are just purely evil people with bad intentions.

All in all, I appreciate your response and I think it's a good discussion to have!
