The fulminations surrounding the world’s biggest pop icon — and girlfriend of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce — reached the stratosphere after Kansas City made it to the Super Bowl.
For football fans eager to see a new team in the Super Bowl, the conference championship games on Sunday that sent the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers back to the main event of American sports culture were sorely disappointing.
But one thing is new: Taylor Swift. And she is driving the movement behind Donald Trump bonkers.
The fulminations surrounding the world’s biggest pop icon — and girlfriend of Travis Kelce, the Chiefs’ star tight end — reached the stratosphere after Kansas City made it to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in five years, and the first time since Ms. Swift joined the team’s entourage.
The conspiracy theories coming out of the Make America Great Again contingent were already legion: that Ms. Swift is a secret agent of the Pentagon; that she is bolstering her fan base in preparation for her endorsement of President Biden’s re-election; or that she and Mr. Kelce are a contrived couple, assembled to boost the N.F.L. or Covid vaccines or Democrats or whatever.
“I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month,” Vivek Ramaswamy, the conspiratorial presidential candidate, turned Trump surrogate, pondered on social media on Monday. “And I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall.”
Hold up, is there actually a percentage of your population that believes the sentiment above RE: conspiracy?
If that’s the case. My god I’ve got grave concerns for America.
There’s a large percentage of our population who believes a magic sky daddy will forgive them for any action they take, as long as they don’t blaspheme. Of course they believe in ridiculous conspiracies based on faith alone, they’ve been primed to think this way ever since they were a child.
About 30% of the population here are like this, yes. And the cool thing is that it’s been spreading to other countries. For instance, QAnon spread to Germany. They thought Trump was going to come save them from Merkel.
Don’t forget all the Canadians talking about their first amendment rights
I heard of a Canadian trying to exercise their fifth amendment right. Really unfortunate to try in a place without such a right.
I have a neighbour displaying a confederate army flag in their front window. Fox News should be considered psychological warfare.
I’m American and this is the first time I’ve seen this 😂
They are a bunch of jealous simps that think she should be with them breeding the next “master race”. Conservative political ideology is just a race to the bottom of ethics, morals, justice, society, everything.
Yeah, it’s like that and has been for a while. Things are bad here, on that axis.
