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.

    I don’t have one to that because I already answered it.

    We disagree on the most important issue.

    You think it is gay rights, I think it is human life.

    I’m not responsible for your candidate not being good enough.

    You can vote for gay rights, I can choose not to vote for the support of genocide.

    If I did want trump to win I would vote for him.

    It’s not that I don’t care, it’s that I care more about something else.

    It would be like asking you to vote for a candidate who would say fuck gay rights, but that would immediately stop the war or a candidate who just said fuck gay rights.

    Would you do that?

    If my options are vote for genocide either way or don’t vote… I mean it’s pretty simple to

        You mean the systematic killing, humiliation, starvation, removing power and water, after segregating and then removing a group of people that you refer to as animals from their home while talking about how you need complete control for your security, while allowing your citizens to drive even more people from their homes?

        Thank you, but I prefer it my way.

          That’s just war. It’s horrific, and disgusting what’s being done there- but It’s the same as what’s happening in Ukraine, and the same that’s happened in any country that’s ever been invaded in the history of this planet. Why are you not crying about the genocide in Ukraine? Do you place your hand on your heart in remembrance of the great genocide in Vietnam? What about the genocide during the Falklands War? It’s war- It’s gross…

          But not everything is genocide.

          Look, I get that it’s a fun little catchy sound-bite you love to toss around, and sure… it makes it look like you know what you’re talking about… but everyone that actually knows what’s going on- is subscribed to reality, and has payed attention since graduating high school, knows that what is happening in Palestine is not- by definition…. Genocide.

          For the record- the U.N. hasn’t even declared it genocide, but a bunch of random people on the internet get to say it is because …… reasons?

          Israel is attacking Gaza because of territorial displacement. This shit goes back to the late 19th century man. It’s incredibly nuanced. But again… NOT GENOCIDE.

          And while I fully understand that there’s no chance in hell I’m changing your mind, maybe this response will serve as a fresh and logical take to anyone still riding the fence that might be reading along.

      Yes, you did answer it. You answered it in the affirmative that you don’t care about queer people and won’t speak up when they’re marched into camps.

      Claiming you don’t support genocide is a lie. You’re fine with genocide- if it’s people who are queer.

            Just thought it was funny seeing you talk about reporting a troll. When that’s all you do here is bait people so you can report them. I mean… willful ignorance and being aggressively obtuse in the face of real-world facts and empirical information is your bread and butter and you’re incredibly successful at what you do…

            I’m just here make others aware of what you do here. Nothing insulting, no incivility…. Just the truth.

        I am never going to change their mind, I don’t see mine changing either, we both know that and are just leaving it for future viewers to maybe change their minds.

        They are a decent person, we even agree on many things.

        We just vehemently disagree on a few things.

        There is kind of like a Yin-Yang balance to it. Lol
