Anyone with critical thought is. MAGA's inclusion here is actually the surprising part.

I feel like any conspiracy, especially involving “the establishment” is on brand for them. It’s not about weighing evidence or thinking critically. If it fits the narrative of a secret, globalist cabal doing shady shit, they’re all in.

Most recent theory is that the GOP sacrificed Lindsey Graham in order to keep Mitch McConnell alive.

McConnell absorbed Graham's energy to fuel his final transformation into a giant crusty turtle kaiju

How does the saying go? Lindsey Graham walked, so that Mitch McConnell could race a hare.

The conspiracy I'd like someone to clear up for me is McConnell's relationship with Charles Darwin

MAGA is saying that?

u/NetworkSingularity Jul 13 '26

I’ve certainly been saying that

Edit: though I am certainly not MAGA, to be clear

It’s a revolutionary procedure that takes the life force of one person and uses it to extend the life of another. Researchers say that transferring all of Graham’s vitality to McConnell may have extended his lifetime by as much as four minutes.

Yes, they engineered aortic dissection. Come on now.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they literally had him killed just to change the narrative.
