Fuck Biden for not realizing how the MAGA crew is going to weaponize this photo op.
Edit: Biden putting on a Trump hat is like Biden waving a confederate flag because MAGA and Trump's campaign are based on racism. Context doesn't matter.
Oh no. Are we forever to dance around the next moronic thing they decide to turn into propaganda? I hope you don't have a cat.
I thought whoever did this shop was pretty funny
No, but we don't have to shoot ourselves in the foot either.
Biden putting on a Trump hat is just about the dumbest fucking thing he could do right now. It is like Biden waving a confederate flag or hugging Putin.
You're nuts lol
This small interaction will have an equally small affect on anything. If anything, it helped show one Trump voter that Biden is just a dude who can good around
You’re right!!!
This might cost him the election
I'm not voting for him now, definitely.
Me either
Unlike Hunter Biden, Joe Biden is still relevant to the election.
What on this Earth has led you to believe that they need actual true events to weaponize. Where have you been living that you think something actually needs to be true or to have occurred for them to weaponize it?
Absolutely nothing has led me to believe that things need to be real for right wing propaganda, since I don't believe that.
Doing something for real means that the actual real media will report on it and that could have an impact on low engagement voters who watch the real news and not Fox News or other right wing propaganda. The fact that it is on the real news means it is more easily weaponized against those low engagement voters, which Dems need to win.
I always and exclusively vote based on people's hats. Thank god I'm not living in 'murica! :}
