1 in 5 people suck
TIL at least 1 in 5 people ate paint chips as a child
In 2020 39% of people believed the "deep state" was working against Trump.
So I guess this is good news sort of?
What is the conspiracy exactly? The link has a pay wall for me.
Something to do with rigging football games to make Taylor swift popular (because she wasn't popular already, I guess?) so she could endorse Biden so he can get re-elected.
But I'm kinda more interested in the one where she's a vampire.
The flaw in your reasoning is that you're using Google. Stupid people don't research things, so of course you're not going to find anything.
Keeping those details vague is intentional. The purveyors of such conspiracy theories know that the worst thing they can ever do is make a clear falsifiable statement.
They thought she was going to endorse Biden at the end of the Super Bowl and that the White House had rigged the game for the Chiefs to win in order to maximize the spectacle and coverage.
I mean... She endorsed him last time around so I don't know why it should be a secret for anyone really. But even then, I can't see why anyone would change their vote, duento a singer or idol
She is a self proclaimed democrat. For her to announce support for Biden is like announcing that tomorrow is Friday. We already fucking know, dude.
Im reading this as: Nearly 1 in 5 people will reliably vote for Trump
Good: Trump only has 1/5 of people fooled and there is hope
Bad: 1/5 peoples live would be improved by lobotomy

You're discounting the number of RFK Jr voters and Sovereign Citizen "Voting is just a trick to get you to create joinder" folks in this mix. Also, the guaranteed number of chucklefuck respondents who reply "Yes, and that's good actually".
Good: Trump only has 1/5 of people fooled and there is hope
Plenty of Trump support has nothing to do with QAnon-tier witch hunts. I've got Trump neighbors who are entirely in it because they think he'll be good for the Houston O&G economy. Its the "Climate Change is a hoax and only Trump will protect our jobs" folks plus the "Illegal Immigrants are going to rape my daughter and hot box my son with the dankest Chinese fentanyl" folks who are the backbone of the campaign.
The "Taylor Swift is a 12-Dimensional Psychic Parasite Channeling the Spirit Ghost of Joseph Stalin" crowd are merely the most exotic and lurid supporters.
RFK Jr is pulling more Trump voters than Biden voters, since that audience doesn't s generally being targeted by him, but he does have some celebrity pull and Sergey Brin's/Elon Musk's ex-wife/ex-girlfriend.
Was Texas always this bad?
YMMV. There's definitely parts of the state that haven't been driving insane by drive-time talk radio and Baptist ministers screaming for the blood of migrant day laborers. But we're also talking about a place that churned out D. C. Stephenson, Bruce Alger, and Rick Perry. The ratfuckery runs deep and isn't particularly new.
I'll just say that Texas is a land of contrasts.
Also bad you only 1 in 8 to win the presidency
Even 1/3 of the ususal 30% dumbass population doesn't believe this
Fun times... Learning 1 in 5 of your fellow citizens has shit for brains.
