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.

    I wasnā€™t arguing about the definition of genocide. itā€™s a pretty outlandish hypothetical for you to be worried about that.

      I wasnā€™t arguing it eitherā€¦. But you called the two options ā€œgenocidal maniacsā€ which is an incorrect usage of the term.

        in this hypothtical, those are the other two options. I would know: I wrote the hypothetical

              Iā€™m not going to agree theyā€™re genocidal for the sake of continuing a discussion. Either we both adhere to reality, or weā€™re done here.

              I donā€™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. Itā€™s a lot easier for everyone if the rules are the same.
