    But what exactly were all these people waiting for?.. Did they really need Taylor to tell them this? I mean the answer is obviously yes but why?

      A lot of people don’t pay attention to politics, and don’t realize things like the need to register to vote since their last move, since their name changed when they got married, etc. They just want to shake it out.

      An incredible and depressing number of people in the world don’t know what to wear, eat, watch, where to go on holiday or who to vote for until a celebrity tells them to do it.

        We live in a society that does everything in its power to prevent people from empowering ourselves. It’s hard to see outside that panopticon, I do not blame the people for their own disenfranchisement.

      Especially from younger people, but not unheard of from older people, is a phrase similar to “I’m not really into politics”. People may not realize that they can ignore politics as much as they want, but politics will affect their lives through and through.
