Sunday, November 16, 2025

Some ultra-conservative Republicans have veered so far to the right that they are starting to eat their own. MAGA conspiracy theorists have frequently claimed that athletes and celebrities are secretly trans, but now they are transvestigating Charlie Kirk and his widow, Erika Kirk.

... If you're not chronically online, you may be unaware that "transvestigation" is a transphobic conspiracy theory that has gained traction since it first popped up in 2017, where MAGA followers believe that celebrities, athletes, and politicians are secretly transgender. They spend time "investigating" their unfounded, nonsensical theories by examining body language, jawlines, collarbone shape, and using debunked pseudoscience like phrenology to analyze skull shape.

The harmful and absurd conspiracy has led to transvestigations of Olympic boxer Imane Khelif, John Krasinski, Miss Universe Victoria Kjaer Theilvig, French first lady Brigitte Macron, Dylan Mulvaney (who they claim was a trans man before becoming a trans woman), and even the Statue of Liberty " yes, that's a real thing that happened.

But now, instead of focusing on random celebrities or people they perceive to be liberal, the right is transvestigating late conservative political pundit Charlie Kirk and his widow, Erika. ...

Friggin' wow.

I can't make this stuff up, but apparently, the far-right can.


Reminds me of the pizza-gate absurdity, but this one seems worse to me.

Trump wrangled up a mob of poorly educated, resentful mental wobblers ever on the lookout for ... well, whatever boogeymen and boogeywomen you'd care to plop in front of them. Oh, and don't forget the ridiculous "alternative facts" and absurd "doing my own research" yammering from this crew. Of course the cult is devouring its own.

Only Trump could fix that. (Vance and Rubio are too busy arguing over his not yet cold political corpse, and they haven't got the heft anyhoo.). But he's too mired in his own terminal problem: covering up for Jeffrey Epstein.

Rats in a sack.

This is just another version of the Reptilians/Shape Shifter thing. The world is full of both, apparently.

You know what are not conspiracy theories, but THEORIES:

1) Donald Trump faked his assassination attempt.

2) Donald Trump murdered Epstein.

The evidence continues to accumulate, as in the news that Epstein was willing to leverage his knowledge of Trump at the time that he experienced that "perfect storm" of events that caused his death.
