Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

She is dating someone who appears to be a Trump supporter, and she is a billionaire. Could she have changed her mind on Trump since 2020?
Friendly reminder to everyone that there is no such thing as a moral billionaire.
All I can find on Travis Kelce being a Trump supporter is a liked tweet where Trump was at a UFC event. His history suggests he is progressive, doing commercials for COVID vaccination, was one of the first to kneel for the anthem, etc. Why do you think he's a Trump supporter?
I think they probably fall short of endorsement because they recognize that their names are brands and don't want to alienate anyone who might belong to the opposite political party. This is nothing new among celebrities.
I don't follow NFL or Taylor really, so I only remember the Instagram like thing by him and discussion at the time. I'm probably biased towards easily believing a footballer would support Trump and not questioning the validity enough in this case.
It's true that they are brands, but I think seeing as Taylor endorsed Biden in 2020 they are surprised at her silence now - especially after having her likeness used in a pro Trump ad.
Is Kelce a Trump supporter? The Trumpers I know hate Kelce because he encouraged people to get the COVID vaccine.
I only remembered the discussion after the Instagram like, but I should probably do more research before I perpetuate rumours.
I didn't know there was an Instagram like story. Just typing that makes me laugh. If I become famous somehow and the media goes through my Lemmy upvote history, it's gonna get weird.
