Is all this Taylor Swift content atm a not-so-subtle response to her rigging the Superbowl so she can endorse Joe Biden?
American right wingers really do amaze me with their conspiracies.
From mind control vaccines, to Jewish space lasers, to Hillary Clinton running paedo rings in caverns underneath pizza shops, to Taylor Swift rigging some sports event in a way that (somehow) endorses Biden?
Who comes up with this stuff
Well by all reporting the whole of Q-Anon started with some fool on 4Chan claiming to have top level gov clearance and knowing all the dirt. Once enough people repeat something as fact the people who might have been skeptical at first start to jump on board because 'how could that many people be wrong?'.
Massive group think from the very independent researching crowd letting things go out of control.
Hey you leave Jewish space lasers out of this! We need more Jewish space lasers.
I don't know about that. I wouldn't want Palestine to suffer the Meridian treatment.
Of course as we all know, the Superbowl is the only place and time internationally known celebrities are able to express their political preferences.
Ya the superbowl is the only place she can endorse a politician. Totally makes sense. /s
It's quite impressive how many people seem to think you actually believe she is rigging the superbowl to endorse Biden, rather than just referring to that batshit theory to make a sane point.
I know I'm confused as I took it as being facetious. Then again there are people that believe weird stuff like that. Maybe I was just being generous and giving them the benefit of the doubt? Or maybe they're just trolling. 🤔
I mean I actually think it's an astute point behind the satire. The challenge probably did start on 4chan because of the hubbub going on around the conspiracy theory, if not by someone who actually believes it. Seems weird to downvote just because someone references that theory though.
I actually believe she’s going to announce her own candidacy and do a “Taylor’s Version” of the Constitution that technically allows each of her “eras” to serve for two terms. This is all made very clear by the Easter Eggs in her Instagram account.
The ConsTaytution you say?
That has to be one of the most hilariously dumb ideas I've read lol.
