Joe Biden is headed to a UAW picket-line in Detroit

“I want to do it, now make me do it.”

A vintage photo of strikers in front of a factory. The image has been altered to insert a 'Dank Brandon' image of Joe Biden with red laser eyes, a UAW pin on his lapel. He looms over the strikers, who have been altered to carry UAW ON STRIKE signs. A General Motors sign has been inserted onto the factory. A sunrise emerges over the factory building.
