My response to the "lets go Brandon" crowd?

[randr]

FUCK Brandon!
They only show their shame by not using the implied word. I'll utter the word "fuck" whenever it is fitting!
So, FUCK you Brandon!

[Captain Zero]

1. You might do some more research first.

2. Weird flex, but okay.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

3. Clearly I am out of touch with important things

as I haven't a clue what the "lets go Brandon" crowd is.

Sometimes ignorance really is bliss.

[leftieNanner]

5. Brandon is a NASCAR driver

Being interviewed on TV. The crowd was yelling Fuck Joe Biden. The reporter tried to pretend they were yelling Let's Go Brandon.

[Eliot Rosewater]

7. I dont blame the crowd for yelling Fuck Joe Biden...

I mean who the FUCK does he think he is trying to get them clean air, clean water, jobs, paid daycare, education etc.

I mean really , who the fuck does he think he is! Doesnt he realize the kinda politician those folks appreciate promises them racism while picking their pockets!





stupid stupid fucks...

BTW i got news for those fuck-head fans, NASCAR doesn't want them anymore. NASCAR knows which direction their future is and it aint that one.

8. 'lets go Brandon' now is RW code for 'fuck Joe Biden'

Unfortunately it is a genie that cannot be put back into the bottle. It also, unfortunately, is an effective political weapon as it employs ridicule (such a powerful tool), is not profane in actual wording (thus can be said anywhere) and it absolutely triggers many people.

[rockfordfile]

13. No it's not. It's just lame and shows how desperate they're

[Celerity]

14. Disagree, but we each have opinions on this, not objective facts.

Cheers

[Hortensis]

19. True. But they'd be screaming insults meaning the same thing anyway.

That's how this one popped up. I'm just glad they're not all brandishing swords and javelins at us as they do. Not yet anyway.

[Celerity]

22. 'Not yet' being, unfortunately, oh so key to that statement, or so it ofttimes appears.

[Hortensis]

23. !.

[forthemiddle]

27. It is effective

If it wasn’t, and if it was just “lame”, it wouldn’t bother you and so many other people, and be the subject of so many posts here on DU.

It’s effective because it allows them to say FU Biden, without using obscenities, and because is exemplified their world view that the new media will twist the obvious facts to protect the President.

Because it happened so organically, it spreads like wildfire. A marketing campaign of slogans could not have done a better job.

A meme going around is a picture of the wheel of fortune with F_CK JOE B_DEN as the puzzle, and the contestant saying “I’d like to solve the puzzle……Let’s Go Branden”.

So far from being lame, it’s caught on like wildfire.

[leftieNanner]

4. It wasn't Brandon who said that

The NASCAR crowd behind him was. The news reporter was trying to pretend they weren't saying Fuck Joe Biden.

Perhaps I misunderstood your post.

[dweller]

6. Let's go Baaaaarandon !

✌🏻

[Tanuki]

25. Good one! 👆 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑 🤣

[Hoyt]

9. Think they are wrong, but I gotta give em some slack. I said/say "F%$K trump" multiple times a day.

[Thomas Hurt]

10. That is what this really is, just a tit for tat escalation of the litany of insults...

and anti trump slogans that are now widespread. Same with the christofascists' lame attempts to impeach Biden, tit for tat.

If the GOP regains the House in 2022 we will see it and they will have a go at three times instead of two.

[Steelrolled]

12. Agreed. I don't know why people get worked up about this kind of stuff.

It has been happening for a very long time. Frankly I would much rather hear "Let's Go Branden" than "F*** Joe Biden".

[Hortensis]

20. :) Same here. And gratifying them with the response they want

is not exactly a winning move. Nor is rolling around in the muck with them.

[Grokenstein]

11. This response is a little different.

21. Lol. "Dog whistles" are only fun if those they're meant to offend

know what they mean and, of course, are offended. If they were nice, which of course they aren't, they'd thank Agoraphobic for playing.

[Cha]

24. lol.. I don't give them any slack..

They're Fascist brainwashed Domestic Terrorists.

We're not.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

15. Thank you to those who filled me in on this.

I think I'll go back under the large rock that is above me most of the time.

[Polybius]

16. As many have already pointed out, Brandon had nothing to do with this

You need to apologize then self-delete.

[brewens]

17. I've said for years the most chickenshit, politically correct punks are the racists. Sure, around

little inbred, redneck, alcohol junkie support group, they use whatever racial slurs they like. Around any decent Americans, they keep their mouths the fuck shut!

[Initech]

18. I would say Fuck Trump!

[eShirl]

26. this

[KY_EnviroGuy]

28. Maybe we should yell in response (but louder): "Let's go MerricK" or "Let's go Letitia".

Thereafter, MAGATs would scramble to look it up just like we did with Brandon.

At least ours would have practical meaning.

KY........

29. Mine is "the battle cry of the cult"

[Amishman]

30. Ok, but he's still your president

Said calmly with a little smile

[Hortensis]

31. This is a RW video pushing the insult. Poindexter and others

who've already heard more than enough, you have. We don't actually need to watch what they are to know what they are.

32. They wanna go Brandon?

Fuck em, and FUCK Brandon
