In Real Time, Bill Maher debunked the Fox News madness and the right-wing Taylor Swift Super Bowl conspiracy.
Maher said:
Now they have a conspiracy theory: that the whole game, the whole thing, is rigged. That the romance between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce was engineered by the Pentagon to be a psycho-operational operation. Psycho-op is exactly what it is: a psycho-op operation. And the NFL is involved. The whole season is rigged so they can be in the Super Bowl.
And then at the Super Bowl, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift at halftime will support Biden. So, all I have to say about that is: get an abortion! They’re onto us!
Truly? Is this really it? That this whole love affair was concocted to hold an election?
Or maybe she’s just the popular girl dating the football player. You know, and look, I think Taylor Swift is amazing, all due respect to what she’s accomplished, but this is such a high school, isn’t it?
Except my boyfriend is a football player and I wear his jacket with his number to the game and he’s going to be prom king and we’re going to make catch-up happen again. But he led them. He led the right wing. Fox News, they’ve outdone themselves. Fox News. These guys amaze me. Everything with them is always a plot.
So it’s still a conspiracy, yeah, except the time when people stormed the Capitol on the very day they were certifying the votes, it was just spontaneous fun.

The conspiracy is crazy, but maybe when you support a party led by a guy in cognitive decline who punishes everything he considers less than absolute worship, and you live in a closed bubble from facts and reality, things can get a little strange.
There have always been Super Bowl conspiracies mostly surrounding the idea that the game is rigged, but the idea that the Super Bowl itself is a conspiracy to get Joe Biden re-elected takes things to a whole new level.
The right has lost its mind and is trying to elect one of its own as president.
