This MAGA claim that the Super Bowl is rigged to let Taylor Swift help Biden win the election is even madder than Flat Earthism
Even if you aren’t a Swiftie, you’ll probably be aware that musical megastar Taylor Swift is in a relationship with Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce, because social media – and, in some cases, news media – is obsessed with them.

Former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy took time out of his incredibly busy Trump brown-nosing schedule to share a conspiracy theory about the outcome of the Super Bowl on the 11th of February.
Let’s just say the San Francisco 49ers have the opportunity to do the funniest thing.
Here’s how people who aren’t in the Trump cult have been reacting to the conspiracy theory.

We're about to see an all-time high production of fragile male tears over Taylor Swift going to the Super Bowl.
Delicious.

Did liberals put Taylor Swift and pro-vaccine Travis Kelce in the Super Bowl? Yes, we did. We also paid off the Chiefs' opponents with offers of Cabinet positions in the next Biden administration.

I love the idea that liberals conspired to get Taylor Swift to date Travis Kelce and then rigged the playoffs because this somehow abstractly helps Biden.
That’s where we shine. We can’t get free healthcare but perfectly execute a Riddler-esque conspiracy to ruin a football game

I’ve said before that @VivekGRamaswamy’s entire political career is about getting revenge on the people who made fun of him in high school, and I’ve never been more sure of it than right now. https://t.co/FpuYpkAbwU

I reveal the full liberal plan to use the Super Bowl, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce to re-elect President Joe Biden, turn everyone gay and hand out coupons for free abortions. You're welcome:https://t.co/t6iV1JszsX

The amount of right-wing mental energy going into Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce – the NFL is rigged! – is absurd, bordering on freakish.
It’s just another made-for-Fox nothingburger, like not drinking Bud Light. Get a grip, you weirdos

How small-minded do you have to be to think that anything you personally don’t like is due to huge conspiracy? Truly is the party of batshit. https://t.co/odnCl0UCre

I would love to watch Colin Kaepernick take a knee on the sidelines at the Super Bowl while Taylor Swift sings the national anthem.
You could fill an ocean with the MAGA tears.

The Chiefs won half the super bowls this decade before they ever started dating.
It’s really funny that we’ve reached this point where conservatives don’t know shit about sports and think they’re for libs https://t.co/en77sZnYDO

Like so much of what Vivek says, he doesn't actually believe this. What he believes is that his fanbase is full of stone-cold morons who might https://t.co/OzS2BMCZEk

HAHAHA. Right-wingers are so pissed that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce haven’t joined their cult.
Lying about rigged elections wasn’t enough – now they’re claiming the SUPER BOWL is rigged.
