I Don’t Care About Brandon
A liberal defense for vulgarities against the President.
A viral slogan seems to have been adopted by opponents of President Joe Biden, which has in turn horrified some liberals: “let’s go Brandon.”
Long story short, some people in the crowd at a NASCAR race were chanting “fuck Joe Biden” in the background of a television interview with driver Brandon Brown. Instead of just ignoring it or cutting away, the awkward commentators attempted to cover it up by claiming the crowd was chanting “let’s go Brandon.”
Naturally, in a world of social and partisan media, this went viral and took on a life of its own. Chanting “let’s go Brandon” is now a not-so-secret, but less vulgar way to say “fuck Joe Biden.”
It’s been repeated by people on the internet, chanted in the streets, at sporting events and political rallies, put on banners and pulled behind airplanes. In a sign that it might not last, it was even embraced by the most uncool of the Republican establishment, namely Senators Ted Cruz and Mitch McConnell, in comically desperate attempts to show how connected they are to their base.
Right on schedule, cue some outraged liberals, clutching their pearls, shocked that these Republicans would be so vulgar.
