We probably don’t need to tell you that there’s nothing normal about our current political climate. Regardless of where you may have planted yourself on the ideological spectrum, you’ve likely experienced an increase in politically-charged animosity in recent years, maybe even including a strained personal relationship or two. Yes, in 2019 it seems the tendrils of political discourse have crept into every aspect of our lives, which is how we end up with heated feuds between people who rarely talk about politics because they’re smart (in this case, Taylor Swift), and people who shouldn’t talk about politics because they’re dumb (his name is Kiiiiiiiiid … Kid Rock!) We guess “feud” isn’t exactly the right word for this situation, since at this point it’s just a middle-aged weirdo with a heavy Busch Light buzz shouting at a twentysomething A-lister who probably couldn’t care less. Anyway, the 48-year-old man who unironically refers to himself as “Kid” took a random shot at Taylor on Twitter today: “Taylor Swift wants to be a democrat because she wants to be in movies….period,” wrote Kid Rock, apropos of nothing. “And it looks like she will suck the door knob off Hollyweird to get there. Oldest move in the book. Good luck girl.” In case there was any doubt that he stands by his words, Mr. Rock helpfully signed the tweet, “Kid Rock”. It’s anyone’s guess what’s going on in Kid Rock’s head, a place where the top porno flicks of 1993 play on a constant loop behind a haze of thick Marlboro Red smoke, but it seems his comments were inspired by Taylor’s interview in the September issue of Vogue , which dropped on Thursday. Swift famously kept mum during the 2016 election, leading some to theorize that she was a secret Trump supporter. She clarified her stance in the Vogue piece, saying: “Unfortunately in the 2016 election you had a political opponent who was weaponizing the idea of the celebrity endorsement. “He was going around saying, I’m a man of the people. I’m for you. I care about you.’ I just knew I wasn’t going to help.” Recalling the state of her own reputation in 2016, Swift added: “Also, you know, the summer before that election, all people were saying was, ‘She’s calculated. She’s manipulative. She’s not what she seems. She’s a snake. She’s a liar.’ “These are the same exact insults people were hurling at Hillary. Would I be an endorsement or would I be a liability? ‘Look, snakes of a feather flock together. Look, the two lying women. The two nasty women.'” If Taylor’s remarks contained anything that could be reasonably described as an attack on Trump, it was a very, very mild one. But apparently, it was enough to trigger Kid Rock who was so upset that he was unable to stick to politics and felt the need to crudely suggest Taylor exchanges sexual favors for movie roles. The tweet is absurd for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that this man-baby has found a way to force the internet to pay attention to him for a few hours. On top of that, does Kid really think Taylor has trouble finding work. No, even Kid Rock isn’t that stupid — he’s just acting out to try and please he Daddy Donnie. As you probably know Rock is a massive Trump supporter and even earned an invite to the White House in 2017. His sudden interest in politics is all part of the former Detroit rapper’s effort to rebrand himself as a Southern Good Ol’ Boy. It’s shamefully transparent theater, which is why Mr. Rock occasionally needs to ramp up his efforts and go on the offensive. Thankfully, most everyone sees this routine for what it is, including Twitter’s own roast queen, Chrissy Teigen: “you’re pathetic. – Chrissy Teigen,” she tweeted in imitation of Rock’s hilariously clueless format. In the replies, many have pointed out that Teigen is close friends with Kim Kardashian and Kim is still feuding with Taylor . That may be true, but some things are bigger than celebrity beefs. And roasting Kid Rock for being a dumbass is definitely one of those things. View Slideshow: Taylor Swift is STILL Talking About That Kim Kardashian Feud
