One of my coworkers is a conspiracy theorist liberal (believes the pyramids were made by aliens as an example).
He believes that Peter Thiel had Charlie Kirk assassinated so that JD Vance could marry Erica Kirk to boost him for a run for Presidency. He believes that Vance's wife will get bumped off sometime in the next 1.5 years, Vance will grieve for 0.5 years, he will announce his run for Presidency, and then get married to Erica 0.5 months before the election. Every single step matches the timeline to create sympathy and boost a political run.
This shit is crazy, but it's just crazy enough I could see the timeline where this happens.
