With the Kansas City Chiefs headed to Super Bowl LVIII, influential MAGA Media personalities have started circulating conspiracy theories about the pop superstar, promoting the deranged notion that she is part of a sprawling psychological operations plot staged by the NFL and Democratic Party to deliver the 2024 presidential election to President Joe Biden.

speculation that Ms. Swift is after Mr. Kelce for his money.
Apparently the 6’8, 260 lb future Hall of Fame professional footballer player she’s dating is gay because… she’s over 30.
Also, she thinks things like women should have a choice over what happens to their bodies and that you should be allowed to use the name you like best so that’s a problem too.

It is sickening that it has stooped to this level. Just comprehend the number of bigoted points of view expressed there. I could write an essay on that.
It’s almost diabolical how refined it is, how much time they took with it. I have been following the development of right wing propaganda for over two decades, and I never fail to get stunned over how blatant it is, and how well engineered.
Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Then Manufacturing Consent is essential lore, but the hole goes deep. No other conspiracy theories needed- that is the conspiracy.
Not even “vote Democrat,” she just urged people to vote period. And linked to Vote.org encouraging people to research what would be on their ballot. The fact that the right takes this as an attack on them isn’t surprising to anyone.
Funny thing is they’re both the same age lul. Perfectly normal and reasonable for people to date people their own age. I guess the right just wants to date the cradle.
Right? There are so many layers to how twisted and bigoted that message is, it packs so much in it. People got paid very well for forging such fine propaganda, this is brand stuff, not some walmart quickfix. There’s so many levels…
I think it’s being funded by the Russians, but I am also really into completely unrealistic conspiracy theories, so ymmv.
Huh, what did I miss?

Because apparently we want misinformation?
Wow.
That’s the level their own psyops operate at these days? It’s impressive in its stupidity and terrifying in its efficacy.
Why the fuck would the billionaire Taylor Swift be after the millionaire Travis Kelce’s money?
You say that like any other part of it makes sense
The others are conspiracy logic, basically “I don’t know so I’m assuming X” but that last one just doesn’t make any sense with known values of wealth.

Totally sane and normal stuff.

And she told people to go vote and the right really didn’t like that

They just think women over 30 are worthless.

He’s six foot eight? How tall is Swift? Jesus.
Maybe 6’5, but the guy’s an absolute unit.
