There has always been conspiracy within politics, from the assassination of JFK to 9/11 being an inside job, but those conspiracies began to reach a new level around 2010 when Donald Trump (and others) began spreading birther conspiracies about Barack Obama. That conspiracy was designed to undermine and embarrass Obama, and it followed him for years, despite his best efforts to put it to rest.
That was the beginning of this new wave of conspiracy theories, which would lead to Comet Pizza, QAnon, 5G technology, the “climate hoax,” COVID-19 vaccine misinformation, and even January 6th. What all these conspiracy theories have in common is the fact that they ignore evidence and they ignore Occam’s razor as a growing population of believers seek to find far-fetched, convoluted reasons to reject the worldview of the majority or, more specifically, explain why Donald Trump hasn’t won every election by margins in the tens of millions.
The MAGA folks are so convinced that they represent the vast majority of Americans that they make up conspiracies about busloads of Massachusetts voters being transported to New Hampshire polls, about undocumented workers flooding voting booths, about election workers stuffing ballot boxes, about COVID vaccines and mind control, or about the mainstream media’s refusal to buy into these far-fetched conspiracies because a dying profession is being controlled by Jews.
In spite of all the evidence, these people cannot believe that a historically unpopular President lost an election and the same historically unpopular candidate may lose another. These people do not act with logic; their actions and beliefs are motivated by grievance and revenge alone, and these motivations have turned their brains into soup as they convince themselves that these lunatic conspiracies are the only way to explain why more than half the country does not agree with them.
The latest conspiracy theory falls under the umbrella of: The world as a simulation. They apparently believe that there are dark forces bigger than humanity who have been working since the Obama administration to transform a Pennsylvania child from a fairly modest background into an all-powerful psy op who lures millions of people into her fandom with the power of music (undoubtedly written by the CIA using the same four chords).
These people must, therefore, also believe that six years ago, these dark forces — the deep state —orchestrated the rise of the Kansas City Chiefs dynasty in the NFL. They probably had a hand in drafting Patrick Mahomes and training him into the best quarterback of his generation — he was probably trained to be a quarterback by military special forces within the deep state — and then coupling him with another modest kid from Ohio who was drafted 63rd (as instructed by the CIA) in the 2011 draft.
Those Chiefs began to dominate the NFL — engineered by the deep state and Bud Light to be the most popular sport in America — by appearing in four out of five Super Bowls. More than 15 months ahead of the 2024 election, however, the deep state put its real plan into action: It paired its most powerful psy op, Taylor Swift, with a popular player on a popular and successful NFL team with one specific intent: To destroy Donald Trump.
This man — who was the valedictorian of his private Catholic high school, who attended Harvard University and Yale Law School — is spreading a popular conspiracy theory that suggests the 2024 Super Bowl and Taylor Swift’s successful musical career were all orchestrated by the deep state to deliver an endorsement to Joe Biden, all so that — if Biden wins — Donald Trump can claim the victory is illegitimate.
Has anyone within the MAGA movement ever stopped for a moment to consider how completely insane any of these theories actually are? If the deep state were capable of any of this, surely the deep state would’ve been capable of finding a much easier way to end Donald Trump’s political career.
Why do any of them believe that Vivek Ramaswamy — a billionaire with an elite education — would be peddling this conspiracy theory? I guarantee it’s not because he believes it. It’s because he knows there are millions of insecure, emotionally fragile, easily manipulated people who will believe it and that he can weaponize that susceptibility to amass power and increase his fortune.
How is that not obvious to everyone, especially the sad, insecure men whose economic, financial, political, and marital impotence are being exploited by billionaires who do not give a sh** about them? These men are so afraid that their gender and skin color will no longer protect them that they have convinced themselves that the NFL and the musical career of Taylor Swift have been rigged by the deep state to replace their place in the hierarchy with women, Jews, Black people, and immigrants.
