In February, as I walked past a drugstore display rack, a greeting card caught my eye. On a bright blue background, a stylized image of black aviator sunglasses sat above the phrase, “COME ON, MAN!!” in white, with the E represented as three red stripes. It was Joe Biden in a graphical nutshell.
The stripes, lifted from Biden’s campaign logos, evoke the American flag. His catchphrase, repeated throughout his debates with Donald Trump, is an Everyman expression of incredulity. The shades are Biden’s signature accessory, the embodiment of American swagger. Aviators are for bad boys who want to do good.
Biden and his team
