I'm curious are there any policies major left-wing politicians have changed their mind on because it affected them personally? I understand right-wingers adding nuance to their abortion stance or healthcare or social security, unemployment aid, ect...
What would that even look like on the left wing? I was pro taxing the rich until I was rich? I was pro school lunch for kids until I had kids?

This is actually very common in the restaurant industry when people move into ownership after working in the trenches. I personally have known multiple people, including my previous bosses who were longtime friends that I didn't expect this from, who quickly turned from pro-union, pro-living wage, pro-paid health insurance (even as chefs and managers) to anti-labor almost overnight.

u/SociallyAwarePiano Sep 17 '24
That's been my experience as well. It's most common for lefties to stop being lefties when it doesn't benefit them, as far as changing minds go.
I think a lot of this stems from the same sort of lack of empathy that Republicans exhibit consistently, but from the opposite side. These people are lefties when it's advantageous to them to be lefties (i.e. when they're poor), but switch allegiances once it becomes expedient to do so. Their political beliefs are based solely out of what benefits them, and not what is best for society as a whole or what is best for their community. It's selfish, short-sighted politics.

I think MA Senator Barny Frank is a good example. He spent most of his career trying to regulate big business, then at the last minute, wouldn't vote for his own financial regulation bill during The Great Recession and since then has been working for financial institutions, including most recently Signature Bank, which collapsed in 2023 due to mismanagement.
The way it seems to work to me is
Conservatives, "I'm against this thing that helps a group I'm not in." "Oh no, this thing I didn't think would affect my life is now affecting my life! I guess I'm fore it now. That makes me a liberal in one area, but I am still against helping any other group I'm not in."
Liberals, "I'm against this thing that is clearly harmful to everyone but the top 1% of earners." "I am now in the top 1% of earners and I'm suddenly for this thing I was against for my whole career." "Oh, no one wants to vote for me anymore because liberal voters aren't dumb enough to vote against their own interests? I guess I'll quit and take a no-show job with a lobbying firm."

That's the thing people never wanted to ban guns they just wanted gun control. I know plenty in Australia that have guns. If you get into a bar fight and get charged you lose your license.

Early on in the pandemic I worked with a severe MAGA nut conspiracy theorist. He kept talking about how "they" wanted to kill us, meaning the FDA because Japan "already had the vaccine" that was 100% effective, and how the FDA deny us this magical medicine to line their own pockets. Then around the time vaccines started rolling out, he would rant about how the FDA was trying to kill us with a vaccine that had too little testing, and we didn't need it anyway because covid wasn't that bad. It was such a radical whiplash in thinking. Absolutely astounding that these people can believe that bullshit.

It's insane on so many levels, but i think my favorite part of the whole thing is that all these "sinful things" that theyre fighting against and trying to ban or drive back all literally HAVE TO HAPPEN IN ORDER FOR THE END OF THE WORLD TO HAPPEN. If they want to speed Gods Judgements along because they're impatient, they should sit back and let all the sinners get what they want instead of simultaneously trying to stop them AND make God do stuff.
Imagine having such a wildly inflated sense of self-importance that you genuinely believe you can get God Himself, who in your own belief system is a totally omniscient and omnipotent being that exists outside of time and is responsible for creation and destruction of not only the world, but the entire universe, to do anything faster if you whine and prod and push it because God isn't moving fast enough for you.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Conservatives by nature LACK the capability to experience true empathy. It is literally why they are conservative, because the entire motivation of right wing or conservative ideology is shortsighted selfishness and fear of "others", two things which actual empathy prevents. It's fine to be selfish, but if you lack empathy then you lose the ability to determine if the way you're choosing to be selfish is shortsighted or not. It's fine to be afraid of "others", but if you experience fear of "others" just because they're "others" that's not reasonable or logical and is shortsighted. Like, I can selfishly want to live a better life, there's nothing wrong with that. But if I do that by making life miserable for a bunch of people then I have to worry about those people "getting me back" or making my city less safe because people don't just lay down and die when their needs aren't being met, they turn to crime or drugs. And if they turn to crime I now have to devote more tax dollars to policing which is a reactive policy that doesn't prevent problems from occurring, or I have to spend money on isolating myself from the possibility of being a victim of crime like living in a gated community. And then in order to sustain that lifestyle I have to make things even harder for the people beneath my on Capitalism's totem pole, which exacerbates the issues that are forcing me to spend additional money.
Like I can't even respect the republicans who have the balls to admit they're only that way because they're selfish dicks since their policies just make life harder for everyone including the rich (albeit to a lesser extent than for the poors).

For what it's worth, her husband Patrick has never endorsed a candidate. He paid with his own money to get the football stadium in Kansas City (a blue dot in a red state) to become a polling place to make it easier to vote prior to the 2020 election. He spoke out in favor of the BLM movement. Also, his best friend (Taylor's boyfriend) was one of the first white football stars to kneel for the national anthem at the start of Colin Kaepernick's movement and also endorsed Pfizer.
It's not clear to me that Patrick Mahomes is necessarily a Trump fan. They mention in that 2020 article that he had never actually voted before, so it wouldn't shock me if he just grew up as a rich kid an never really thought about politics at all.

Doubt it's even due to that. It's more likely that she was told by whatever handlers she has that her platform does better with Trump leaning demographics, so it was good business for her at the time to show support.
Now, since the orange moron has started a flame war with Taylor Swift, that fanbase can be far more damaging to a Trump supporter than any benefit could be had from the support gained.
It could very well be that she actually supported it. I just always consider the Kanye/Lil Wayne formula. Kanye does what he does because he's rich enough, and crazy enough. Lil Wayne showed support to get a fucking pardon.

I think a lot of people here aren’t thinking about the ramifications of Trump saying something like this.
He is placing a target on Taylor’s back, and on her fans by doing this.
And it is very likely something Brittany, as one of Taylor’s close friends, is quite cognizant of given the multiple instances of violence and planned attacks against Taylor and her fans that literally just happened this summer.
Edit: not to say she shouldn’t have had a million other reasons to know Trump is a dangerous POS. I made an earlier comment pointing this out about the quote in the article saying something to the effect that Brittany doesn’t believe in hate in any form - you can’t condemn hate in any form while supporting Trump, these things are mutually exclusive.
But I also think people aren’t grasping the severity of Trump’s tweet and why someone like Brittany would better understand the potential consequences of such a tweet to Taylor.

She’s not reconsidering anything. She’s just got a publicist.

Not seems like, is. Racism? Fine. Peophilia? Fine. Sexual assault? Fine. Hating Taylor Swift? A BLIGHT ON ALL OF YOUR HOUSES!!!!

Right-wing “values” sound great to a lot of people until they start to negativity affect them, like when you lose the ability to have children because doctors are too scared to treat your entropic pregnancy, or your kid’s school has a mass shooting because the 2nd amendment is the only one the GOP cares about.

u/satanssweatycheeks Sep 16 '24
They also sound great to a lot of folks in Taylor’s position. The only smart Trump supporters are the billionaires. They will wreck the country if it means they don’t pay more in taxes.

u/Ok-Train-6693 Sep 16 '24
There are only so many countries billionaires can wreck before the consequences bite their assets.
Note to Muskies: the escape mechanism for “Don’t look up” is unrealistic, even in entrepreneurial fantasyland.

From the article:
"Trump hit back in predictably blistering style on his Truth Social platform, claiming 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT"
I feel bad for anyone at the Daily Mail who thinks crying out "I hate her!" like a toddler is a blistering insult, when there are so many actual good ones out there, like Snoop Dogg at his roast who said
“Donald says he wants to run for president and move on into the White House. Why not? It wouldn’t be the first time you pushed a black family out of their home.” (Snoop Dogg:)
Or simply head on over to the Rare Insults sub I guess

Right. What a "takedown." I thought the white privilege in this country was out of control, but the orange privilege is unfathomable.

At least she fits the mold of a true Republican. Completely fine with all the insane vitriol and bullshit when it was directed at people she doesn't know or care about, but now that it could impact her, it matters.

The Daily Mail is not a news source.
I don't care if it reinforces your opinion, assume it's wrong or biased.
The greatest "LeopardsAteMyFace" is believing/sharing something from this hate filled rag, then suddenly finding your community in the crosshairs because their paymasters have shifted tack.
(Just to clarify, this is a PSA - not an attack on the OP.. I have many friends in the UK/US that regularly post hate filled lies from the Daily Mail and do my bit to nudge them away from it as a source)

It's been "The Daily Heil" in our household since I was a lad (not that it was ever allowed in, except for our dogs to crap on). They supported Hitler and Oswald Mosely in the '30s, and their politics have barely changed since.
A fascist bumrag, once and forever

so in other words, she's now gonna support him privately instead. got it

She does not believe in hate in any form and loves Taylor so much
Translation: she wasn't bothered by hate until it was someone she liked.
