It’s a shame, but maybe it will become popular.
Of course that’s not true, but Vivek Ramaswamy and Jack Posobiec and benny johnson And others in the pro-Trump orbit don’t care about the truth. They want A) attention and B) engagement. Alleging Swift Kelce Biden’s bizarre “psychology” conspiracy is one way to accomplish that.
There are many people who already know that they don’t like Swift. It’s because she supported Biden in 2020, or because they don’t like her music, or because they’re just tired of the saturated media coverage of her. And there are plenty of people who already know they don’t like Kelce — whether it’s because he once knelt in protest during the national anthem or because he appeared in a Pfizer commercial promoting the coronavirus vaccine. Either because of a new law in Congress that: Requires Kelce to appear in at least one commercial during TV breaks at NFL playoff games. (It’s also a hoax, but it’s true feel Isn’t that so? )
Many people who don’t like Swift and Kelsey just want to find new reasons to hate them, and don’t particularly care whether the latest insane claims are true or not. This is about affirmation, not illumination. No one will seek concrete, verifiable evidence that Swift’s relationship with Kelce is a secret government conspiracy designed to help Biden’s reelection.
Just like when Tucker Carlson made the claim in a recent live discussion hosted by Tim Poole at Turning Point USA’s America Fest, no one asked for proof. what he believes What people believe to be UFO or alien sightings are actually signs of malevolent spiritual forces pervading the world.
“My personal belief, based on a significant amount of evidence, is that they are not aliens and have been here all along,” Carlson said. “And I think it’s a spiritual thing. That’s my view. Again, it’s not provable, but it’s based on evidence. If the U.S. government actually had contact with these beings, directly The argument is that if I contacted them, whatever it was, I already told you what I thought they were – and made some kind of agreement with them. The opinion of those in the know – if that’s true, that’s very, very, very serious.”
Yes, it is indeed very heavy and will completely change most humans’ understanding of life, science, and the universe. This seems like the kind of claim you’d want more evidence to support than just not liking the decisions government officials make.
When President Donald Trump left office, many believers in the QAnon conspiracy suddenly changed their minds and saw that the “storm” they had repeatedly claimed was coming did not arrive. Is there? Or have believers just moved on to newer, hotter, younger conspiracy theories, like the old distracted boyfriend meme?
There are few, if any, serious consequences for floating, endorsing, or enthusiastically endorsing meaningless claims with no supporting evidence whatsoever. Speculating that the only way the Kansas City Chiefs could win the Super Bowl again was because the game was rigged to favor the Biden-Swift alliance, Ramaswamy said, has threatened his future job in the Trump administration. I don’t intend to lose it.
There is no real risk in claiming, for example, that Trump has been a Russian asset since 1987. (Wait, that was the cover of New York magazine in 2018).
In 2024, the impact of lies by public figures will certainly be minor and often insignificant enough to be undetectable. But the consequences of boredom are serious.
Most political discourse is based on making the listener or reader feel good, right, or scared, rather than on stating what is actually going on. What’s happening in the world is often depressing, boring, and complicated. Conspiracy theories are exciting and dramatic, and no matter how many strings are tied between the photos and news clippings on a giant corkboard, they almost always lead to the next version of the same simple explanation. I will return. That is, there are shadow forces working behind the scenes, manipulating everything. .
At least that’s what the Loch Ness Monster told me to write.
