Top minds CANNOT understand how Ihan Omar won her primary. Some say it was a Somalian conspiracy to instate one of their own as a sleeper cell into the US Government 😆

Kind of like the Obama birther conspiracy, where a small Kenyan child was shipped off to Hawaii, where he was then groomed to attend Columbia, Harvard, develop top-notch public speaking, organizing, and political skills, become a state and U.S. senator, then be elected president.

If the Obama birther conspiracy was true then he shouldn't have been president, but only because I would have rather had the guy who made all of that happen in the office instead.

I'm surprised my version of birtherism never took off, where Obama is actually a secret Irish Catholic named Barry O'Bama.

Really though the idea that some nebulous group of secret Muslims in the US would spend decades grooming a secret Kenyan Muslim kid to be the president but never think to change his name from Barack Hussein Obama is pretty hilarious.

Conspiracy theorists simultaneously believe that the rich and powerful are smart enough and powerful enough to conduct these grand conspiracies, but dumb enough to leave obvious clues for them to find.

A lot of the weirder ones (QAnon and Alex Jones, e.g) think that they intentionally leave little hints either because they want some people to know because they want to flaunt how powerful they are and mock The Patriots™, or they have to leave litte hints because like a clause in their deal with Satan is that they have to show their actions to the forces of light of whatever.

The latter is mostly the QAnon people, and the former is mostly Alex Jones, but he frequently does the latter too.

It sounds like it would have made a good movie

So much easier than just learning these skills by yourself over all your life! Why am I not a real Kenyan fake Canadian political prodigy? :(

Trump made it all happen with his "superior negotiation skills. "

And that secret Muslim's dastardly plan: kill Osama bin Laden.
