Which Of You Were Conned?

I have actually had more than one person, including a few paid subscribers to this very email, inform me that because I got the 2016 election wrong, they could not believe me when I was adamant that the deep state was not structuring the Super Bowl to ensure a high profile for Kansas City so Taylor Swift could endorse Joe Biden at the game. Now, I suspect they’ll all insist we move on, laugh it off, and pretend this whole conspiracy theory never happened or they knew all along it was a joke

You don’t have to admit it.

I will not ask for hands.

But a significant contingent of Trump supporters became convinced that the fix was in and Taylor Swift would endorse Joe Biden at the Super Bowl. They were dogmatic that they had noticed “a pattern” that others did not notice.

They had become dogmatic that the rest of us were just not clued in enough to the deep state machinations that could apparently rig a Super Bowl, but not block a Special Counsel report. Instead of a Biden endorsement, we got Kansas City’s Quarterback giving glory to God, live on national television and a Joe Biden tweet ridiculing the conspiracy theory (posted well past his bed time). They’ll tell him about it tomorrow and have to re-explain “Dark Brandon” to him.

Please stop being catechized by the grifts of the MAGA movement. Not everything is a conspiracy and not everything is five dimensional chess.

I’m on record thinking Trump can win. His odds have gone up especially since the Biden report from the Special Counsel. I don’t care for the man, but see him getting a second term. But I am not going to dabble in the conspiracy theories of the day, like so many people in the MAGA who whip vulnerable, desperate people into frenzies claiming special insights that are predatory scams.

Y’all, reality is pretty different from the online nonsense so many are selling. Ironically, many of those who believed the grifter’s conspiracy won’t admit it, but instead suggest we need to move on, let it go, and just forget it all. But please also hold everyone else accountable for things they don’t like and punish Travis Kelce for doing a Pfizer ad. Just move on from noticing how these people allowed themselves to be deluded by a really stupid conspiracy theory.

Also, it was a really good game. Now we have to wait seven months for College Football.

Lastly, Homes.com blew a lot of money on terrible ads and will be the second coming of pets.com, but at least pets.com had good Super Bowl ads. If I were an investor in Homes.com, I’d be furious that my money was wasted on trash Super Bowl ads.
