Picture of conspiracy theory regarding fly on Mike Pence's head

A fly landed on Mike Pence’s head during the prior week’s vice presidential debate. Someone associated with the Joe Biden campaign registered FlyWillVote.com and forwarded it to IWillVote.com. Biden’s campaign tweeted out the link.

It was humorous. Playful. That is all.

Believe it or not, there’s a conspiracy theory regarding it. Some people believe that the domain name was registered ahead of the fly landed on Pence’s head and that it’s part of some sort of plot.

I thought they were joking at first. Making light of conspiracy theories. But the more I read regarding them putting together a timeline of events; it seems that they really believe this. (See the picture of the image making the rounds.)

I’m guilty of making fun of conspiracy theorists on occasion, which might be wrong if you look at it under the light of mental illness. What I ought to do is try to convince people with these thoughts to seek help. Hopefully, you can do the same.
