somehow I only found out that "let's go brandon" was a republican slogan by reading this meme

after saying it in real life, thinking it was a sports thing

Were you living under a rock in 2021/22?

Maybe lives outside the US. Or just not living maybe in a "battleground" state like Ohio, Michigan or Pennsylvania.

If you live in a solidly Democrat part of a state that's also solidly Democrat, it's possible you're like double-landlocked away from this sea of politically-supercharged excrement. In areas where most of the political campaign money ends up, even if you don't want to pay attention, you're force-fed this shit wherever you look.

I'm sorry for those who find themselves the direct target of republican propaganda. Trapped like labrats in a hellish social experiment of overexposure to nonstop toxic messaging, billboards and robocalls where "Biden's coming to tAkE yEr GuNz!" or "Kamala Harris hAz TwO mOmMiEs" or whatever, on top of what's already on the national infotainment industry.

It kinda was a sports thing lol

idk if you actually looked up it's origins, but for anyone curious there was a NASCAR winner "Brandon" I forgot his last name, but he was being interviewed after the race and everyone in the background was shouting "fuck Joe Biden" (because they're sheep, wtf does Biden have to do with anything in that moment?) so the interviewer possibly trying to cover for the network since you can't exactly go cursing on there says (paraphrasing) "they must be saying let's go Brandon!"

Naturally MAGA morons took that as "ThE mAiNsTrEaM mEdIa iS cEnSoRiNg Us! ThEy'Re CoVeRiNg FoR BiDeN! FaKe NeWs!" So now let's go Brandon means fuck Joe Biden and also hints to msm manipulation.

It's also a perfect example of how they NEED to be part of a tribe. That phrase includes you in the tribe if you use it with others that "know."
