What is that TikTok person even talking about?

Taylor hanging out with Jason Kelce? Or is Travis himself the bad guy?

Am I supposed to know what the TikTok person is mad about?

Also: Taylor Swift "built her brand" to use the Tik Tokker's words on sharing emotion, poetry, reflection, heart, wistfulness, and human interpersonal relationships and encouraging a community of fans to share emotions and enjoy those things and put their feelings into art. She did not "build her brand" on any political side or other of anything.

So again: what is the TikTokker mad about, exactly?

I saw Eddington, and I was glad I read reviews written by regular people before going; I was prepared for the idea that both "sides" might be offended. The movie had an interesting take, more violent than I would have preferred, but it did show the ways that people fed fear day in and day out seemed to morph into something they hadn't been before. Those already on the edge went right on over it. I thought it was thought provoking.

“Eddington” was pretty good in that it managed to give perspective to the insanity fomented by the latter-day Calvinist gay-friendly ruling class. But it still “took sides,” chiding the left, which is what Hollywood might do when it has no other choice, as a setup for what it really wants to do: bludgeon the right. It makes a rigged hockey game appear fair. Cleverly crafted authenticity. They were shots, hits, brutal body slams: goons, villains, snipers, everything you find in a hockey game. No referee, though. Notice how every time the director showed us someone being influenced by something online, it was a ‘right-wing' nut-job. The real problem in 2020 was that the mainstream establishment media turned nut-job. Our trusted institutions turned nut-job. Not part of the Eddington storyline. Because we still need the “trusted institutions” to promote the film. Joe Cox had no ally, built as a sympathetic character, only to be condemned. But make no mistake, the goal was to condemn him from the start. But I still liked the film. It does go farther than what we’re used to. But, not far enough, as far as I’m concerned. Mind you, this is Hollywood’s attempt to appear fair, only because their business model is so fucked from years and years of gaslighting us, pushing an ill-fated woke agenda, and being incredibly unfair. So did “Eddington” right the ship? Please. Do let me know if Ari Aster wants to do a film about Seth Rich’s murder and how the Democrat establishment broke every fucking law to maintain power and still got their asses handed to them, then let’s talk.

I am so, so grateful to finally be able to trust someone who knows what good movies are to the majority. I think the hall monitors on the left are trying to hold on to their diminished power and they will soon be relegated to being laughed at mercilessly. I will never understand why powerful people gave them so much power. All they had to was ignore them or say no. Why adults have a problem doing this is beyond me. I can finally start watching movies again!
