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.

    Nope

    Biden is a better president than trump, that’s indisputable.

    That doesn’t mean Biden is good enough to be president.

    Hell, I don’t even know you, but I fell confident you’re better than trump. If you wouldn’t support a genocide, I’d say you’re a better option than both of them.

    It’s a pretty low bar, lots of potential candidates not only would be a better president, but more importantly have a better chance of winning the election.

      Hey, I want AOC to run, but until then I’m not going to discourage people from voting for the only candidate who’s not going to piledrive the US headfirst into the dirt.

      So again, drop the act. Yeah you want a better candidate than Biden, great; that’s not the choice. The choice is Biden or Trump. If you don’t vote for Biden, your voting for Trump. If you don’t believe that fine, stop reading; if you do, there’s nothing more to say anyway.

        You still don’t get it…

        This is the same shit we went thru with Hillary.

        Biden is unpopular. He will depress turnout. Depressed turnout is how republican presidents are made.

        I hope some day you get that, but I’m not explaining it again.

        So maybe after trump wins this time you guys will meet us on the side of supporting a president that isn’t sending bombs to kill innocent children.

        If you keep letting them support genocidal actions win the vote when someone else would have easily won just by not supporting genocidal actions, then you get what you deserve.

        Have fun dealing with your shit sandwich, maybe after trump 2 electric boogaloo y’all will stop supporting the killing of innocent babies

          Trump absolutely sent bombs to kill children. Sometimes he even authorized the drone strikes himself. Trump has also proven to be a massive supporter of Israel so I don’t see why people think it would be better or even different with Trump.

            Plus he’s a rapist and a traitor, and a racketeer, a compulsive liar, narcissist and many other terrible things we should never see in a president.

            Did we lose 10,000 of them directly because of his actions?

            Or did we lose those because Biden decided to directly support Israel?

              As opposed to every president the US has had since the 1940s? Quit avoiding the question. Do you honestly believe it would be better under Trump? Or can you be honest and admit it would most likely be even worse and that he would also let Russia steamroll Ukraine?

                Do I honestly believe it I don’t know. It would probably be better for us in America if Biden won.

                But here’s the thing I don’t care what the rest of the presidents did

                It was wrong when they did it. It’s wrong now.

                Does them doing something else wrong make it right for me to do something wrong?

                How many dollars per life are you willing to trade before you say fuck you were not supporting any of y’all give us something real.

                Long-term, maybe trump 2 will wake people the fuck up like we thought they did with a version one.

                See the problem was people look at Trump and think oh we beat him. It’s over and they don’t remember how bad it was.

                So now it’s time to make it bad again today so they remember more next time.

                You’re asking us to stand with you, but saying what we care about doesn’t matter.

                If y’all don’t care about any of us, why would we stand with you?

                I won’t stand with them either.

                Fuck you both, figure it out yourselves.

                I’m not going to be with you to keep the status quo. I want something better.

                  Trump is the end of democracy in the US. Not something better. You’re either a disingenuous troll or there is something seriously wrong with your brain. Blocked.

                    Apparently, they think you should be willing to let your child be tortured in a gay conversion camp to stop the Palestinian genocide, and that it’d just be like not giving your kid ice cream because of world hunger.

                    They’re delusional, and I hope to God they’re just young and naive.

              We don’t actually know because the Trump administration removed transparency on drone attacks. Could’ve been 5000. Could be 20000. It certainly does not bode well that they hid that.
