"The Taylor Swift Super Bowl Conspiracy: Unraveling MAGA Hysteria"
TL;DR Summary
The "Psyop Bowl" conspiracy theory alleges that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are part of a plot to hypnotize Americans into reelecting Joe Biden through subliminal messages in Super Bowl commercials. This baseless claim, along with other unfounded theories, serves to engage and affirm rather than inform. In today's political discourse, there are few consequences for spreading nonsensical claims without evidence, while the consequences for being boring are severe. Conspiracy theories offer excitement and simplicity in a world that is often complex and disheartening.
