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.

    That’s part of the joke, genius. We all get it, an old dude trying to be cool is funny, yet that self awareness is cool, so therefore he’s cool to an extent because we also get that it’s deliberate.

    What about the other cringy old fraud who thinks he can run the country into the ground? Is being a piece of shit what passes for cool on his side?

      its a real bad joke. it might have been amusing last time, this time its just condescending.

      young people are not fond of you because of your warmongering, and what you do is try to ironically win the apparently dumb youth but making cringy jokes instead of like… actually putting a stop to the bad shit you do?

      is your baseline now Trump? that aint a high bar.

        Warmongering? You don’t know me. I’ve been against every damn war we’ve stuck our noses in for decades.

        Dark Brandon? Far less condescending than the people who made up the whole “Brandon” thing in the first place? Can’t handle a little “in your face”?

        Typical for the kind of people that are fine with the whole “let’s go Brandon” thing. They’re perfectly happy to trash talk but whine when someone deservedly dishes it back.

        Edit: The comment about trump being low AF is the only thing I agree with.

          what are you even saying man. regardless of whatever culture war ‘brandon’ thing, here are some facts as i see them: your current leader declared 3 avoidable wars that are currently ongoing. he has broken up the biggest strike of our time, which might actually have got you worker rights.

          is fascism ok because the perpetrator is somehow way more polite now?

            Way off base. Not even gonna tackle that, no way to reason you out of a position that you got yourself into without reason.

            God luck.
