    Jordan Sather, a prominent promoter of the QAnon conspiracy theory, suggested that Swift’s life had been orchestrated as part of a sinister plot to encourage her fans to vote.

    There a few other people quoted in there but it’s all the same sinister plan they are proposing: The psyop is encouraging people to vote.

    Republicans see large voter turnout as a bad thing because they are less popular than they want you to think they are. This is not new, it’s just a new target.

      Swift’s life had been orchestrated as part of a sinister plot to encourage her fans to vote.

      Reminds me of the time Republicans in some local election had sent out a mailer smearing the Dem candidate. There was a big box on one part of the card, in a large font against a dark background proclaiming that the Dem candidate wanted to “Educate and Transform you!”

      Well, I thought, do your donors know you are campaigning for the Democrat?

      Yes, good insight to their true motivations.

      Republican policy positions are all massively unpopular, which is why they will never be caught dead talking policy. Instead, they will only engage in divisive identity politics, culture war issues, and petty reality tv type nonsense.
