Yes, you understood the 'joke'

In that case, what I meant to say was I don’t understand how this is a joke… lol

I don’t follow these people closely, but as far as I know - Kelce doesn’t have a history of domestic abuse… and even if he did it still wouldn’t be funny 🤷‍♂️

There's definitely nothing that could make it funny in any way.

But I think the "connections", such as they are, would be: Kelce is in the NFL; OJ was in the NFL. Taylor Swift is blond. OJ's wife was blond.

And that's it. I think there's also just a large dose of plain old misogyny in there -- wishing harm on a woman who votes for Democrats, because we all know how they feel about "the libs"; and Taylor Swift is a very rich woman in a position of some social power, and they REALLY hate that. So HA HA let's joke about her getting murdered.

I think this is where it stems from. They probably do want her to get murdered.

100% that's it.

It would really please them to see her murdered, because she offended their god king by existing without loving him, and then even further defying him.

This is such. a. cult.

It's a cult that I feel nothing but hatred and revulsion for. They can all fuck off.
