Bizarre White House self-own: “Dark Brandon Returns”

I’m wondering if all of the Derp State [sic] – antiDemocrat Party axis in DC is high on its own supply.

I mean, printing a pile of money to stop inflation; quintupling the budget of the Incredible Reaming Service while admitting off the record the “profits” from audits will not come from “the rich”; and now sending the FBI to raid the mansion of the ex-POTUS — this is starting to look like a stoner version of the CCP regime.

But nothing more illustrates the bizarre nature of the current regime as the deputy WH communications director, Andrew “Master” Bates[*], tweeting out a “Dark Brandon Returns” meme depicting Biden as the “Dark Knight” from the Batmanverse [¿qué?] superimposed on a Third Reich-esque version of the Reichsadler…

As shown above, intrepid internet sleuths discovered that it was photoshopped from a Chinese [!] anti-Biden meme. (Yes, there are CCP tools who think Xi’s favorite turtle-boy isn’t enough in the pay of the CCP, or that he’s not staying bought.)

I know that reappropriation of slurs thrown at you by an opponent (I have blogged about this “Geuzennaam” phenomenon before) is an age-old phenomenon, and I’m old enough to remember when an anti-National Front song by British punk band Stiff Little Fingers was adopted as a party hymn by the same WN party, but… This sort of propaganda ju-jitsu flies like a lead Zeppelin unless it’s done skilfully and “on the money”.

What this effort reminded me most of is the laughable attempt by the Third Reich occupiers of the Lowlands to reappropriate the “V for Victory” symbol — with about as much success as you can expect.
