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.
Oh, well, as long as something tells you that they could afford a home, then that must be true.
i have pretty good intuition.
all evidence to the contrary.
this is rhetoric, not a rebuttal
it’s a fact, and if you can’t rebut it, it means you’ve lost the argument.
how’s that for rhetoric?
it’s pure rhetoric. you still haven’t substantiated a claim that there is any evidence i don’t have pretty good intuition.
you have presented plenty of your own evidence for that claim
wrong
just like Trump
Sure. You and Trump.
this is some pretty ham-fisted pigeonholing
It’s not “ham-fisted pigeonholing” when both you and he believe you know things without looking them up.
what i’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: you’re trying to discredit my claims by associating me with someone else. i think it’s worth further explicating that this is a form of ad hominem, which is expressly prohibited on lemmy.world and in this community
Feel free to report me if you like. When you do something Trump does all the time, I’m going to compare you with him. If you don’t want to be compared with Trump, don’t do something he’s famous for.
mastodon reports don’t get pushed to lemmy mods afaik
Oh well. Guess you’ll have to live with me comparing you to Trump for doing something he does then.
After Lemmy version 19.2, they can.
facing the consequences of your actions in not a state of victimhood.
being ad-hominemed isn’t a consequence of my actions, it’s a failing of my interlocutor to engage in good faith
if you don’t like being compared to Trump, stop doing things he does. But that’s not an ad hominem-- it’s a consequence of your actions.
blaming others for your poor behavior is engaging in bad faith. accusing them of what you, yourself, are doing is projection and hypocritical.
just like Trump
>if you don’t like being compared to Trump, stop doing things he does
this is straight up darvo abuse
no, you’re just projecting because you refuse to take re3sponsibility for your actions and gaslighting because you’re cornered.
just like Trump
this whole comment is darvo bullshit
no, you’re just projecting because you refuse to take responsibility for your actions and gaslighting because you’re cornered.
just like Trump
