Been seeing this thing "go brandon" on du for what seems like several weeks, and have ignored them because the name and the meme just didn't mean anything to me. I figured it was just another sort of karen post or something.

But sheesh, Celerity you post serious stuff so this must be important, then!

So who, what, where or... why should I care?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let%27s_Go_Brandon


"Let's Go Brandon" is a political slogan which has been widely used as a minced oath for "Fuck Joe Biden" in reference to Joe Biden, the 46th president of the United States.

Chants of "Fuck Joe Biden" were heard at sporting events beginning in early September 2021. "Let's Go Brandon" came into use after NBC reporter Kelli Stavast incorrectly described a chant of "Fuck Joe Biden" by spectators at a NASCAR race as "Let's go, Brandon" during a televised interview of driver Brandon Brown on October 2, 2021.[1] The slogan has become well known through use by Republican politicians and critics of Biden.[2][3] It has also been commercially exploited through merchandise. The phrase quickly spread to popular culture, with rap songs using the phrase placing high on record charts.

pretty sucky to have sports and the media behind it.

we won't stand a chance in hell if pop culture joins the ranks.


thanks for enlightening me, now I wish I hadn't asked.

I hadn't asked.

and by the way, instead of preaching "look it up", first consider the ignore function.

Ever since Obama and Anita Dunn declared their "war on Fox News" and legitimized the rightwing fringe nutcases as somehow mainstream, we've been forced to listen to this shit.

No thanks

They don't have the guts to come out and say what they really mean. They have to speak in their childish, bullshit code, instead.

George Carlin was right: If Jesus came back and saw what was being done in his name, he'd puke his guts out.

exactly who and what they are. This won't go well for them. When they tell you who and what they are, not only should you believe it, you should never forget it.

For centuries organized religions have been screaming "My god is right, your god is wrong." I can't think of a more bigoted message to our fellow human beings.
