“Conspiracy Theory” is such a fucking lazy term, used only by people who couldn’t recognize a conspiracy even if it forcibly invaded their backhole.
These are investigative hypotheses.
One anon mentioned last bread that these are precanceled stamps that would not, therefore, have a conventional postmark to cancel them.
It does mean, where many here had previously discounted the possibility, that the packages could have been transmitted through the USPS. They need not have been, however.
Precanceled stamps of the kind used are available only for approved users, who require a license number to use this form of postage. So whoever affixed the stamps likely worked at, or stole the precanceled stamps from, an authorized customer of USPS.
It’s not clear whether the stamps are even valid for application to packages, as used. (See below.)

The answer to most questions is money.
There’s money to be made from advertising to those un/under-served by other channels. Appearing to be a provider of news and commentary from a conservative perspective allows a lucrative market segment to be targeted and harvested by big industry.
But Fox is in danger of killing its golden goose: it’s viewer base is aging and is unlikely to be replaceable with next generation substitutes because most of its programming is really not at all conservative in political orientation. Younger and more politically sophisticated viewers know Fox is a fraud and won’t tolerate its “pseudocon” bullshit.
I respectfully disagree, and the history of the political cartoon tends to support a view of politics being a rather different human endeavor than you appear to think. Politics is brutal, cruel, and unforgiving and the political cartoon has often (perhaps mostly when the matters of contention have been acutely felt, as in 19th century Britain) been just as brutal, cruel, and unforgiving. Satire has been used more in the arena of social dialectic: established order versus progressive latitudinarism - such as the lampooning of the hangover of 50s social mores by Monty Python and others. In a more overtly political sphere, party, policy, and personality have certainly not (historically) been “sent up” in the more socially transformative manner of satire, but with invective and gross caricature. Of course, there has always been a branch of satire that concerned itself with politics (as something like Spitting Image did in the UK in the 80s and 90s), but I suspect that political historians will consider memes to be more the heirs of the 18th/19th century political cartoon than the brand of late 20th century political satire sealed on the comedy circuit or mainstream tv.
