After Fox News presenter Jesse Watters branded Hillary Clinton's female, pop-culture-savvy supporters ahead of the 2016 election as 'Beyoncé Voters' in order to belittle their choices and question the worth of their votes, there has been a very (Sasha) Fierce response: a Tumblr page.
Beyoncé Voters is a selection of pictures, along with pink, all-caps lettering in the style of the merchandise and marketing for Beyoncé's last album – BEYONCÉ. It features images of various politicians, both Republican and Democrat, captioned with carefully selected lyrics from 10 years' worth of Beyoncé songs. There's a picture of Wendy Davis, who managed to block an anti-choice bill by filibustering for 12 hours, along with the caption 'now we reminiscing' how we used to flex in Texas'. There's a picture with President Obama and our very own Queen toasting each other at an official dinner, with the caption 'London speed it up'. There's even Michelle Obama's graduation photo with the caption 'help me raise a glass for the college grads' and a picture of a 1970s-era Hillary Clinton with '***Flaweless' written over it.
Negative comments come in the form of a photo of the Supreme Court, which just upheld Hobby Lobby's right to refuse its staff access to the contraceptive pill through their in-house health insurance. Over a photo of them is 'les hommes pensent que les féministes détestent le sexe' – which is on Partition and translates as 'men think feminists hate sex'.
The Tumblr is definitely there to make us laugh, as it exposes the ridiculous nature of Watters' claims. Even if there are such things as 'Beyoncé voters', it looks like her lyrics contain some pretty weighty political statements when spliced with the right photos.
And Beyoncé herself isn't even a bad role model when it comes to how politicians should be doing things. It's just been revealed that she's secretly donated $7m (£4.08m) to a housing facility in her hometown of Houston, Texas, over the past seven years. She's given the money to the Knowles-Temenos Place Apartments, according to KHOU 11 News, launching the complex in 2007 as a response to the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina. It houses people who would otherwise be homeless and provides meals, job training and HIV/Aids screenings with the aim of helping residents become independent.
'She's an incredible human being,' said Reverend Rudy Rasmus (he's the same guy who oversaw Beyoncé and Jay-Z's wedding vows, FYI). Rasmus added that she 'has an incredible heart and has been extremely helpful in our mission and our ministry here.'
With acts of charity like this, you can see why the term 'Beyoncé Voters' really isn't an insult at all.
