President Joe Biden had conspiracy theorists in a tizzy after posting what appeared to be his reaction to the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl win on Sunday night.

“Just like we drew it up,” Biden posted on X alongside a photo of “Dark Brandon,” the meme created by hardcore—and very online—supporters of Donald Trump that Biden and his team loved so much they adopted it as their own.

The post was apparently referencing far-right conspiracy theories which posit the NFL and high-level government operatives conspired to rig the Super Bowl in Kansas City’s favor to give maximum exposure to a yet-to-be-announced endorsement from Chiefs star Travis Kelce and his girlfriend Taylor Swift.

    Human life is supported by the almighty dollar. Like it or not, that’s how it is. I have to feed my children, don’t I? And Biden did the best he could to get the economy back on track. He succeeded. But by all means, let’s not give him any credit because he is not perfect.

      This person actually thinks you and I should put other people’s lives over our own children’s lives.

        False equivalence they aren’t both ending in death.

        With a proper support system, your daughter will be fine no matter what the outside world is like

            So what is the exchange rate between “potential things that trump might do” and actual physical deaths that Biden has supported.

            How many deaths does it take to change your mind?

            How many of other people’s children are you willing to sacrifice to keep biden in the White House?

                Play the same game with Biden and trump.

                That is how it should be, just because one does something doesn’t mean you forgive the other if they do it just because they are on the same side as you.

                Fuck them both. Trump killed people through not acting with Covid.

                Trump is a complete and total piece of shit just like fucking Biden.

                I do not give a shit how good you made the fucking economy or whatever.

                You are still giving bombs to people to kill children with.

                  No. No it isn’t. They told me I shouldn’t be worried about what Trump will do to my queer daughter based on what he has done in the past. That clearly shows they have no problem with what Trump has done in the past because they don’t think what he did was bad enough already.

                  They also suggested that my daughter would be fine as long as she doesn’t die.

                  So I stand by what I said. They don’t give a shit about queer people.

                    wrong. they may have major problems with it, but they may have even bigger problems with what biden is doing now on some other front. they can care about two things at the same time.

        I think the deal is more “My family is safe and healthy and that is important to me” over “wow I don’t care at all about dead foreign kids.”

        In a 2-party system, sometimes that’s the best you can get… and frankly, I give more of a shit about myself and my friends/family who would be much worse off under Republicans than Democrats, enough that if I have to id vote Democrat every time until the immediate threat of Republicans is dealt with.

        And again, because you just don’t seem to get it, Republicans have an even worse track record on the middle east lol. (Not intended as a whataboutism - more as an explanation that the two-party system sucks, and how not voting for one effectively means the other wins)
