The Endorsement

Where it all began...On June 7, 2016 Lady Gaga took to Instagram to upload a photo of herself in a patriotic swimsuit and announce her support for Hillary Clinton. "Nothing can keep a strong woman down" appeals to Hillary's ethos and the image of her as a fighter. The red, white, and blue swimsuit seems to aim to appeal to all Americans who love their country, not only "blue" democrats. The rock n roll and country vibe also appeals to a more "southern" aesthetic...one usually associated with Republicans. Finally, the call to action "shake it up America" interestingly appeals to something that Trump also appealed to: Americans desire for change.
