Here's how we get rid of the "Go Brandon" slur.

[Vinca]

Whenever you have an opportunity to respond to it, say this: "Vote Brandon, 2024, thank you for your support." It'll confuse them at first - they're not the sharpest tacks - but once they realize they're promoting Biden in the next election they'll STFU.

1. Embrace it. Take it over.

I've seen it used in support of Biden. I've done so myself.

Regarding the guy in Oregon, I thought there might be a rare, rare chance that he was using the term ironically. The donations to Trump that are surfacing in the aftermath show that I was wrong.

[Joinfortmill]

2. I like it.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

4. I think every time Biden hears it, he should applaud or hand it right back.

When I hear it, I am reminded what a great country this is that someone can say that to the most powerful elected person on earth and not fear reprisals from the government.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Biden should take that theme and make it his.

[COL Mustard]

14. It's like the old joke from the 60s

Kennedy and Khruschev are discussing the state of their countries. Kennedy says "In America we have freedom of speech. A man can walk up to me on the street and say, Kennedy, I don't like what you're doing to the country." Khruschev says, "In the USSR, we also have freedom of speech. A man can walk up to me and say, Khruschev, I don't like what Kennedy is doing to his country."

I'd love to see some snappy comeback to just shove it in their faces.

3. It should be co-opted by Biden and w/audience signs during speeches (Do this w/Gadsden Flag too!)

.


Also, Democrats need to co-opt the Gadsden Flag to make it representative of Anti-Republican positions.

The LGBTQ community should fly a hundred of them at parades so Trumpers will be afraid to fly them for fear that people will confuse them as liberals or LGBTQ. Not a Pride version of the flag, but the actual yellow Gadsden Flag. After a year or two, those yellow flags will disappear.

[CrispyQ]

5. Most excellent!

This is why the DNC should pay someone to read DU every day & ask for marketing suggestions. Oh, my bad. We don't do marketing.

[Snarkoleptic]

7. I've seen this meme on social media. Mocking and making it toxic is another tactic.

[COL Mustard]

15. Love It!!!

Post it again and again!

[Sogo]

26. Well, whatever we do, we should coordinate the response.

I've seen others here say Biden should use "Brandon, 2024." Coupled with this, that would be a disaster....

[calimary]

42. Yes! SHREWD!!!

Laminate a new context on it! And make it what WE want it to be. This one's a beauty!

Trash their "treasure"! Crap on their "creativity"! Mess with their memes!

[aeromanKC]

8. Thanks Brandon!!

Brandon '24!!

[Efilroft Sul]

9. Just tell them Brandon won.

[JustAnotherGen]

10. Good idea

But it puts the maggots at the center of the universe.

[sarchasm]

11. Let's Go Darwin!

...works for me.

Although "Vote Brandon, 2024, thank you for your support." is very, very, good also, thank you Vinca!

[calimary]

25. Yep!

Hijack it and TAKE IT OVER!!!

[Celerity]

39. This would actually work if you could get crowds to chant it a anti-vaxxers

It's brutal and it ridicules.

[Sherman A1]

12. .......

I think I will just ignore it whenever I come across it with no comment. The less said the more likely it is to simply fade away.

[GoCubsGo]

22. I am part of the "ignore" school, as well.

They spew it to "own the libs." And, I'm seeing a lot of "libs" letting these assholes do just that. As long as those ninnies can keep getting a rise out of Dems, that garbage isn't going away. Why keep feeding the beast?

[Hortensis]

35. I'm of the really ignore it for real school.

Those who behave this way are what they are, and it's not stupid, it's some variety of low, mean, frightened, or just childish. When they dump this it'll be because they got bored with its "cleverness" and found something else.

"When they go low, we go high." And in that those who don't do low actually be a majority with those conservatives who don't think it's clever at all.

[mwooldri]

13. "Obamacare" was meant to be a derogatory term.

Instead health insurance producers use it as a positive marketing point.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. That's true! Example of good surviving bad in the

Long-term. Although removing the fine on tax returns for no coverage probably helped the most

[Squaredeal]

16. How about a bumper sticker that says: Brandon 2024?

N/T

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. I like it. Have always found that enthusiasm and laughter

irritate much more than anger and flipping the bird. People HATE being laughed at more.

[keithbvadu2]

19. Let's Go Melania!

[richdj25]

20. In a nutshell....

just own the deplorables phase. Each and everyone, including the president, should say "I am Brandon"

It only has meaning in GOP circles, not mainstream America.

[HAB911]

21. LET'S GO................

[calimary]

24. This one's good too!

[calimary]

23. Their side hijacks our memes enough. About time we returned the "favor".

[BlackSkimmer]

31. Can you give an example of one they've hijacked?

Thanks.

[calimary]

34. "Let's go Brandon" tops the list. Basically, put-downs.

But there’s the way they’ve screwed with his name.

“Sleepy Joe” and others along those lines come to mind. And more…
https://amp.usatoday.com/amp/5802798001

“President Sippy Cup” was a new one, for me. Nevertheless, we could certainly turn it on its ear and apply it to trump.

[BlackSkimmer]

36. I thought you said they've hijacked OUR memes.

The Brandon meme is theirs. I can’t think of one of ours they’ve hijacked, that’s why I asked.

[calimary]

41. No. You make a good point. I should have been more precise.

Because it's really what they do with messaging - of ANYTHING - that galls me and gets me wanting to hit back as hard as I can find the - uh - I suppose you could say "strategic verbiage" to do it with. I always want our side of the "word-war" to be memorable, quick, amusing, repeatable, and needing no explanation to simply or ensure that others can easily "get" it.

Cuz if it's got a even a small tinge of funny or clever, it's more likely that somebody's gonna want to repeat it, because THEY think it's funny or clever, and worth sharing. And when something gets repeated, that's even more mileage it gets! Amplification! It's EVERYTHING!

[BlackSkimmer]

44. I completely agree!

We need better messaging. Remember Carville with, “It’s the economy stupid!”

We need that kind of message.

[Gore1FL]

27. I often leave comments top the effect of "This Brandon guy sure is going!"

They don't really know how to respond.

[Sympthsical]

28. Or just ignore it

The whole point of it is to childishly get a reaction, to "own the libs."

I just read some apoplexy about a boat parade.

They're getting what they want out of it.

And we're giving it to them.

[BlackSkimmer]

30. This.

It’s best ignored.

[Raine]

38. Agree 👍 nt

[madibella]

29. Let's Go BIDEN. Thank You, BIDEN

Fits perfectly and takes away they’re intended slam. There’s quite a bit to thank Biden for.

[andym]

32. "Vote Brandon, 2024, thank you for your support." then appropriate it directly "Let's go Brandon"

Just as Joe Biden did on the call Friday. That makes the phrase a positive and will change its meaning.

[lastlib]

33. Brandon for President 2024!

[BlackSkimmer]

37. Just no. nt

[taxi]

43. We're going to - The city??

[usonian]

45. This?

[url=https://imgbb.com/][img][/img][/url]

Still trying to figure how to post images from imgbb.com. Not the prettiest post, but you get the idea and can copy it.

[Mr.Bill]

46. Just give them a thumps up and say

"Let's go right back at ya!"

If Joe had said that the guy would have had fun explaining it to his kid.

But I agree Joe has to much class to go down to that level.
