You'll notice they come from the big 4 most propagandized instances. Almost certainly a mix of willing idiots and active manipulation
To clarify, you're saying it's folks from the popular instances trying to rebrand the conversation as "Biden is cool as fuck actually" as well as folks willing to just roll with that? Or am I misinterpreting?
~~(I gotta stop making comments on lemmy when I'm stoned and only have 2 brain cells)~~
TBH I misread as well, I was talking about the comparisons between Biden and Hitler. I've been seeing a lot more of "people" saying they're not going to vote at all and encouraging others to do so, which will just result in a trump presidency.
Gotcha, so maybe the sudden positive feeling about Biden is more of a reaction to that mindset to try and sway folks back to voting? That'd certainly make sense to me.
Certainly could be. Biden should absolutely be criticized for his shortcomings, as any president should. But there's no better option right now so it's really about damage control more than anything
