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.

ā€œJust like we drew it up,ā€ Biden posted on X alongside a photo of ā€œDark Brandon,ā€ the meme created by hardcoreā€”and very onlineā€”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 Cityā€™s favor to give maximum exposure to a yet-to-be-announced endorsement from Chiefs star Travis Kelce and his girlfriend Taylor Swift.

    From his inauguration speech:

    My whole soul is in this. Bringing America together, uniting our people, uniting our nation. And I ask every American to join me in this cause. Uniting to fight the foes we face - anger, resentment and hatred.

    Itā€™s what he said he would try to do.

      Iā€™ve seen you around and I know youā€™re too smart to be mistaking rhetoric for policy. I want that for America too, but itā€™s hardly realistic. The fact is that civil wars have to be properly dealt with from the jump, or they fester into insurgencies. Thatā€™s what this is, and itā€™s not over at all. I hope we make it.

        I agree. Iā€™m just taking note of the hypocrisy. If he had tweeted the Dark Brandon pic captioned with ā€œ Trump will be arrested next week.ā€ That would have been much better. Stop with the mocking of his supporters, theyā€™re deplorable. Cut off the head of the snake.
