Let's Go Brandon is a really stupid slogan

In October 2021, a professional NASCAR driver named Brandon Brown won his first major race at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama. While a reporter was interviewing him, the crowd began to audibly chant “Fuck Joe Biden.”

The reporter interjected, “You can hear the chants from the crowd, ‘Let’s Go Brandon.’”

Nalbandian noted that the clear disconnect between what the crowd was chanting and what the reporter said led to the phrase “Let’s Go Brandon” becoming “for lack of a better term, a meme.”
