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.

    Itā€™s not ā€œham-fisted pigeonholingā€ when both you and he believe you know things without looking them up.

      what iā€™m saying is true or false regardless of anything trump has ever done. your attempt to associate me with him is the very definition of pigeonholing: youā€™re trying to discredit my claims by associating me with someone else. i think itā€™s worth further explicating that this is a form of ad hominem, which is expressly prohibited on lemmy.world and in this community
