Some right wing pro-Trump conspiracy theorists think that Taylor Swift is some sort of government asset and that the Super Bowl was rigged in order for the Chiefs to win and that it’d be used as a platform for Taylor Swift to endorse Biden or brainwash viewers or something.
This tweet is poking fun, like ‘everything is going according to plan’. But in real life the heavily favored team won, Swift was there because she’s the girlfriend of one of the players, and Taylor Swift fans are generally left-leaning because demographics
They did win last year, but their team looked nothing like the same team for most of the season. In the last few years, they’ve been known for their high powered offense, putting up tons of receiving yards every game. This year, their offense was pretty bad, especially their receiving during regular season. But their defense was playing well and allowed them to make the playoffs. If you look at power rankings from the first week of the playoffs, most people had them in the bottom part of their rankings.
Most of the year is irrelevant. They had a stellar post-season and nobody is calling it an “upset” because it wasn’t surprising to anyone that the Chiefs pulled it off.
Ok, but when a “heavily favored team” loses, that’s called an upset. I’m not really invested at all in this, just wanted to note that lots of folks were betting on the chiefs and that the regular season isn’t that good of a proxy for post season performance. I wish your favored sportsball team good fortune.

A while back there was an incident where someone tried to say Fuck Biden and apparently it came out sounding like Brandon. So people started saying Brandon for their own pettyness where they thought saying Brandon and not just saying fuck Biden was more professional. (Cowards)
Then Bidens office owned it after a photo came out where they cropped a blue and red background to look like Biden was just standing in front of just a red background (ominous, like the sith) instead of acting like a child and when they made “aggressive” moves or did something the republican party didn’t like they started using the term Dark Brandon that popped up online.
Republicans were saying Swift was possibly going to endorse Biden, which is dumb, why would she split her income base while making millions/billions. So the Biden administration trolled them by saying “just like we planned it” insinuating that the game was rigged for Kansas City to win, so Swift would have a large platform to announce her support.
As far as I know Swift has done nothing but tell people to make sure they vote…Republicans don’t like that, as Trump lost the majority vote in both elections he was in, but managed to still win the 2016 election due to the electorial college.
Okay. I understood all of that. now… can you explain all the rest of american politics? for our, uh, eurpoean friend? (They exist! honest!.. don’t look at me like that…)
Lol Where do you want me to start. I’ll do my best. Do we start pre 1776 to understand how we got to this mess or do you want an abridged last 30 years ordeal
A while back there was an incident where someone tried to say Fuck Biden and apparently it came out sounding like Brandon.
Specifically a crowd chanted “fuck Joe Biden” and a person giving a media interview tried to play it off as them saying “Let’s go Brandon” because she was interviewing Brandon Brown live after he won a race.
From their perspective, this was intentional to try to silence them so they ran with it, and hence the meme was born. The whole point is the media being cowardly and trying to silence them (in their eyes), not them being afraid to say what they mean. So it’s supposed to be a simultaneous jab at Biden and at the media.
Can anyone tell a European what’s going on ovah there?

Oh, I’m guessing I have to deal with a shitload of Chiefs jersey wearing people yelling at work today and comparing their gambling wins?
ah yes, so the usual huh
All correct except the “heavily favored team won”. The Chiefs weren’t really seen as a good team for most of the year and weren’t expected to win.
Didn’t they win last year? Did that not factor into it?

Very interesting, thank you.

Not sure what you’re arguing here. I didn’t call it an “upset”. I said they weren’t the “heavily favored team”.

Thanks for looking out for us, champ.
Deep state interference confirmed
The better team won, but they were not picked to be the favorite. Which I think adds to the conspiracy.
The better quarterback won. Overall I think the 49ers are the better team
Absolutely insane. What are they smoking?
It turns out that the village idiot(s) are a larger percentage of our population than previously anticipated.
Possibly due to widespread chronic lead poisoning but the verdict is still out there.
And sadly COVID did too little to solve that.
I mean, I can imagine it being even worse if the anti-maskers were still around in full force.
If COVID was just a little bit more lethal to the unvaccinated we’d be in good shape right now.
… yes. somebody, explain it to the European. (Don’t mind me pretending like I know… while paying rapt attention…)

This is me, but during projects new people join that I’ve been back burnering.
We don’t even know! Our politics have gone off the rail
