Eighteen percent believe there is “a covert government effort” for the pop icon to help President Biden win re-election, according to a Monmouth University survey.
Big problem is that these fucking idiots who come up with these theories used to not have this practically unlimited reach the internet and particularly viral social media gives them.
And these stupid fucking ideas are really contagious among stupid people who have a chip on their shoulder and wanna have some sorta inside information that makes them feel in some way superior to others. That’s QAnon in a nutshell as well.
Prior to all this social media bullshit there’d be enclaves of these dummies spotted around but they couldn’t organize and breed like this.
I think for a lot of folks it’s also the idea that there is a neat, identifiable cause of all their problems that falls under easy to tap in to prejudices. They don’t want to accept that sometimes bad things just happen or maybe the people they vote for/believe in aren’t doing everything they can to help them. It has to be someone putting their thumb on the scale. And dammit, Trump is going to stop that person!

I like how he didn’t stop shit (drain the swamp) whatsoever and that’s not a topic of discussion with those people.
So crazy that anybody could revere that guy. He’s all the worst aspects of humanity wrapped into a single person.
