The 'Lesbian Farmer Conspiracy' originated from claims made by conservative media figures in 2016, alleging that the Obama administration was using USDA grants to encourage LGBTQ+ women to move to conservative rural areas to manipulate voting demographics. While the theory was largely debunked and ridiculed for its absurdity, it quickly transitioned into a beloved internet meme. Today, the meme is used both as a satirical critique of alarmist political rhetoric and as an ironic badge of honor within the LGBTQ+ community, often overlapping with the cottagecore aesthetic. It represents the intersection of bizarre political paranoia and modern internet humor, serving as a template for making light of fringe conspiracy theories.
