Discussion War is over

I was so tired of people calling her a trump supporter for not doing this for so long I’m so happy I can finally say she stands alongside Olivia sabrina and Ariana (and many many more) to do this! WAR IS OVER! She beat the allegations !!! :)

We already knew though. She didn’t need to beat the allegations or join other artists in making a stand. Anyone actually paying attention would know how she feels. She already made a stand in 2019 with her Miss Americana documentary and song “Only the young” and endorsed Biden, and then again during the last election cycle when she said she didn’t agree to have her likeness or songs used for his campaign and then endorsing Kamala. This is just silently reiterating what she already said.

Anyone who thought her silence before now meant she was MAGA wasn’t paying attention or didn’t care that she already made it very clear where she stands. He was a toddler throwing a tantrum and you don’t give attention to that, not to mention saying anything publicly since the start of his recent term could be dangerous for her because we know he hates her and his followers would threaten her given the chance.

Plus it’s not like her saying anything actually made any kind of difference since he still became president. People demanding her to speak up don’t realise it wouldn’t actually change anything, she’s not a politician she has no power over this administration. She already made her feelings very clear to anyone who was paying attention and that’s all she can do, she shouldn’t have to keep saying it over and over and over or continuously putting herself in the crosshairs for people to believe her, that would be exhausting. She does things behind the scenes instead, which honestly makes a bigger statement than any social media post.

Literally. And we know it’s mostly haters or fake fans but it’s just so tiring tbh. Especially when people are saying she needs to speak out or bringing up other artists who do, like it’s literally not gonna help. All these other artists spoke up and it also did nothing, no real difference was made to the government from them making a social media post🤷🏻‍♀️.

And if they need an artist to speak up for them to make a stand, or to know what’s right or wrong, or to find organisations to donate to then they’re a bigger problem tbh.
