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.

    Good point, I’m sure if we had Donald Trump in office, Israel would stop immediately. There’s never been anybody tougher on Israel than Trump. For instance he… checks notes… moved our Embassy to Jerusalem after decades of US presidents refusing to do so and single-handedly set peace negotiations back 50 years.

    But I guess when your entire post history is ripping Biden on the Israel situation you can’t really do much else or the boss won’t pay you.

      Do you unironically believe that this lemmy commenter is getting paid to express anti-genocide views? You sound insane

        We’re not allowed to criticize israel, remember.

        Criticizing israel is antisemetic, or pro-trump, or (insert convenient negative connotation here)

        Don’t play coy. You know that is the alternative. I agree that it shouldn’t be happening. But it doesn’t help anyone to act like they don’t have a point.

          The alternative to the meme being unfunny? I feel like you’re replying to a whole paragraph of text that doesn’t exist in the original comment and acting like the original commenter is unreasonable for not knowing what you’re talking about. Is there some edit I’m missing here, or can you literally not fathom any statement about something Biden does outside of the context of the election?

          Jill Stein? Cornell West?

          Certainly you’re not suggesting anyone to directly vote for someone that supports israel’s Nazi style genocide right?

            When the alternative is letting an actual Nazi type leader win, people should be weighing their options accordingly.

              Indeed, so don’t vote for Genocide Joe or Agent Orange.

              Instead vote for someone that isn’t a genocidal Nazi.
