Notes -
I like the one where the Space Force are actually a secret cadre of Trump ultra-loyalists who's primary mission is to help carry out the big Day or Reckoning against the Bad People. This is actually a very specific and narrow version of the larger “any day now Hilary et al will be executed at gitmo” complex of conspiracy theories ala Real Raw News (https://realrawnews.com/) but hyper fixated on the Space Force being secret Trump commandos. Its died down a bit since Trump won; many of its principle concerns involved the Space Force finding proof that the 2020 election was stolen, and that somehow this proof was located on one of more satellites and that Space Force loyalists had secretly physically accessed these satellites in orbit and were about to blow the whole thing open, any day now.
There is also a predictable amount of overlap between the Space Force people and the UFO scene, which has itself been very active/excited for the last 8 years or so for a number of reasons.
edit - I also enjoy the "Everyone Famous is Actually Trans" one too mentioned down thread. There don't appear to be all that many people directly involved in this one, but they are very prolific and focused on it, and produce a lot of very entertaining infographics and other "evidence" that's easy to share and repost on twitter and social media, making it look bigger than it is.
