Uncle Joe

English

(informal) Joseph Stalin.
- 1943, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, quoted in, 1974, Elliott Roosevelt, As He Saw It:
  "Of course, it's just the thing for the Russians. They couldn't want anything better. Unconditional surrender," he repeated, thoughtfully sucking a tooth. "Uncle Joe might have made it up himself."
- 2002, Tom Clancy, Red Rabbit:
  "It won't get that far. The Politburo is is too circumspect," said the DDI. […]
  "Tell that to Leon Trotsky," Ritter said sharply.
  "That was personal. Stalin wanted to eat his liver with onions and gravy," Greer replied. "That was pure personal hatred, and it achieved nothing on the political level."
  "Not the way Uncle Joe looked at it. He was genuinely afraid of Trotsky—"
(informal) Joe Biden.
- 2019 May 17, Antonia Noori Farzan, “The Onion turned Joe Biden into a lovable meme. Now one writer is apologizing.”, in Washington Post‎^[1]:
  After officially entering the Democratic primary last month, Biden smashed records with a $6.3 million first-day fundraising haul and has led the crowded pack in recent polls. His familiarity and name recognition with voters are frequently cited as reasons for his early success, and while it’s impossible to quantify how many conflate the “Uncle Joe” meme with the real-life Biden, watching his campaign take off has left Garden with some regret.
