This was posted right after the Chiefs won the Superbowl in 2024. There was a MAGA theory going around that Biden was going to rig the game for the Chiefs, Taylor Swift was going to endorse him, and then everyone who watched the game would be brainwashed into voting for him.
That's called a fossil word, a word that only ever gets used in a specific phrase. When was the last time you heard the word "inclement" outside of the phrase "inclement weather"?
Sure he's young and popular, but all his ideas are untested. We need a president with a track record specifically in the late twenties. Someone with real chops. Time to boot up the John Quincy Adams chat bot.

I mean... I'll take Joe over Trump any day of the week. Twice on Sunday.
Still would rather see AOC run.

What’s crazy is that my brain didn’t even understand how to read “inclement” for a second until I saw “inclement weather.”

and the phrase is "how do I exit VIM?" because nobody actually says vim and vigor anymore.
