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.

    Right wingers are going to lose their minds over this, but that scares me more than amuses me at the moment.

    They will lose their minds over literally anything, they created this whole conspiracy out of thin air and hatred of women.

    Someone already got decapitated by their son over MAGA conspiracies this year, so meming about it feels really really reckless to me.

    That happened anyway, avoiding making fun of them (by pointing out what they say is nonsense) won’t make their delusions go away.
