Democrats’ Attempt to Make Biden a “Cool President” Backfires

In a recent social media blunder, the official Democratic Party account made an ill-fated attempt to portray Joe Biden as a “cool president.” The post featured a photo of Biden wearing his signature aviator sunglasses, accompanied by a quote referencing the popular movie “Mean Girls.” However, instead of achieving the desired effect, the Democrats’ post was met with widespread mockery and criticism. Let’s delve into the details of this cringe-worthy attempt and the reaction it garnered.

On October 3rd, the Democratic Party’s official account shared a photo of Joe Biden donning his aviator sunglasses outside the White House. Alongside the image, they posted a quote from the movie “Mean Girls,” stating, “President @JoeBiden isn’t a regular president—he’s a cool president. #MeanGirlsDay.” The date holds significance for fans of the movie, as it references a memorable line spoken by Lindsay Lohan’s character. However, this attempt to make a pop culture reference fell flat and elicited an overwhelmingly negative response.

The Democrats’ misguided post was met with a wave of ridicule and criticism across social media platforms. Pro-life activist Ryan Bomberger condemned the Democratic Party, stating, “The @DNC, long ago, jumped the shark. There’s nothing regular about this nonsense.” Virginia Kruta, an editor at The Daily Wire, pointed out the irony of trying to be cool, stating, “Being cool is a lot like being funny. If you have to tell people that you are, … you’re not.”

Libby Emmons, editor-in-chief of The Post Millennial, emphasized the need for a “community note” in response to the Democrats’ post. This sentiment reflects the general consensus that the Democratic Party’s attempt to make Biden appear cool came across as desperate and out of touch. Their misguided effort only served to highlight the perceived lack of authenticity and genuine connection with the American people.

The official GOP account swiftly responded to the Democrats’ post with a GIF of Biden stumbling up the stairs of Air Force One. Jake Schneider, the GOP’s rapid response director, issued a warning, stating, “WARNING: Highly cringe.” The Republicans seized the opportunity to capitalize on the Democrats’ misstep and further undermine their attempt to portray Biden as cool.

Steve Guest, a former communications staffer for Senator Ted Cruz, expressed his disappointment with the Democrats’ post, labeling it as “pathetic.” This sentiment resonated with many who viewed the attempt as a desperate and misguided ploy to manipulate public perception. Instead of appearing cool, it only served to highlight the perceived lack of substance and authenticity in the Democratic Party’s messaging.

The Democrats’ failed attempt to make Biden a “cool president” highlights the importance of authenticity in political communication. Instead of resorting to gimmicks and pop culture references, politicians should focus on genuine engagement with the public and addressing their concerns. Voters are looking for leaders who can deliver real solutions, not those who rely on shallow attempts to appear cool or relatable.
