You’d have to be pretty dumb to dismiss the influence musicians from Beyoncé to Ariana Grande to Chappell Roan have had on pop culture. (I mean, Queen Bey is basically her own transit system when it comes to concerts!) But arguably the brightest star in the constellation of celebrity influence is Taylor Alison Swift, who made headlines last week for her endorsement of Kamala Harris. Celebrity endorsements of Kamala have come fast and furious since Harris officially launched her campaign in July, but Swift is (so far) the musician whose fan base seems to have translated most directly into political action. “Since our inception on July 21, Swifties for Kamala has raised over $213,000 for Harris’ campaign and directed over $13,000 from our merchandise partnership with Social Goods to voter registration efforts,” said Irene Kim, co-founder and executive director of the Swifties for Kamala movement. In many ways, this is no surprise; just look at the financial impact of her tours—which some see as boosting entire economic sectors.
Indeed, since Swift urged her fans to register to vote in support of her, voter registrations have spiked in a number of states, including, according to The Boston Globe, Massachusetts and, more importantly from an electoral standpoint, Pennsylvania, where the number of newly registered voters nearly doubled in the week after the debate and Swift endorsed Harris. (It's also estimated that Swift's Instagram link to Vote.org drove more than 400,000 people to the site.
There's something strange about the tone of Rejection, where absurdity and vulgarity mingle with a fearless excavation of deadpan seriousness. Some people might find this depressing or exhausting to read; I find it exhilarating. How often do we get to honestly confront the worse failings of our time and laugh or gasp with genuine wonder when we do? The solipsistic echo chambers that Rejection's characters inhabit can be debilitating, but the presence of a writer as serious and funny as Tony Tulathimutte is a pretty good antidote.
