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.

        sounds like the kind of thing someone would say if they were trying to suppress the vote.

            this is mask-off telling people not to bother voting for their candidate.

                if on election day, an hour after teh polls open, everyone calls the election for cornel west, and people say “you can vote for one of the genocidal maniacs, but it won’t matter. they can’t possibly win”, no one would characterize that any way except voter suppression.

                  That isn’t what’s happening right now though, is it? If Cornel West wins the election, you are hereby allowed to message me, find and meet me, and punch me in the dick, up to fifty times, and then I will give you my wallet, eat my hat, and shit my pants.

                  So in summary what I am telling you is that Cornel West will never be president in 2024, not in any universe, because that is not how this flawed and adversely designed big evil system works. And if stating a plain fact, regrettable though it may be, is voter suppression in your mind, then we simply speak different languages, and I will wish you a happy whatever you call Tuesdays in your reality.

                    Cornell West won’t be President because (so far) he’s only on the ballot in Alaska. He had a chance as a Green Party candidate, he has no chance now.

                    I wasn’t arguing about the definition of genocide. it’s a pretty outlandish hypothetical for you to be worried about that.
