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.

    I wasn’t arguing it either…. But you called the two options “genocidal maniacs” which is an incorrect usage of the term.

        Again, I’d ask you to look up the definition of genocide.

            I’m not going to agree they’re genocidal for the sake of continuing a discussion. Either we both adhere to reality, or we’re done here.

            I don’t do hypotheticals.

                If making up an altered reality is what it takes for you to participate in a discussion, you might want to look into how things are in reality and try and work with that. It’s a lot easier for everyone if the rules are the same.

                  I assumed everyone here had a similar level of reading comprehension. that was my mistake. have a nice night.

                    The person who got called out for thinking that using hypotheticals is an easy way to manufacture a win in a discussion/debate is an accusing me of poor reading comprehension?

                    Yeah.
