      I could maybe see “Tankie” piercing through Trump’s social circles and winding up in his vocabulary just cus he’s catty and vindictive and the people in his favor are always shifting. But Biden? No way. I think his team are very careful what they say around him. Plus, there’s gotta be, like, at least one or two degrees of kevin bacon between him and anyone online enough to use that word.

        Biden definitely remembers things 30+ years ago better than what he heard yesterday so he’ll probably just assume “tankie” is really about Dukakis
