Unpopular Opinion

It's not really about the humor. It's always about the cruelty or, in this case, cruelty's sibling: mockery. To their twisted mindset, cruelty towards their perceived enemies is always funny and/or righteous.

Once I realized most Republicans only care about making the 'libtards' suffer, everything they do finally started to make sense.

They consistently vote against their own interests. They elect obvious cartoonish scumbags. They get outraged about nonexistent wars on Christmas. They think Democrats are cunning and powerful overlords controlling everything, but...Democrats are also (simultaneously, somehow) incompetent fools and suckers.

The cognitive dissonance is drowned out by their blind hatred. That's why they post social media replies like "seethe" because that's what they do, 24x7. They're seething crazy-angry all of the time. They can't go five minutes without thinking about politics or putting their right wing spin on every anodyne topic of conversation. They ban wholesome children's books. They actively strip away basic human rights while claiming to be victims of the same. They steal elections and break the rules of congress and the courts while calling the other side cheaters.

They are quite willing to see the planet's environment burn to the point of mass extinctions...as long as the 'libtards' suffer more.

Once you understand their "cruelty first" philosophy, and see them through this lens, their behavior becomes sadly predictable.

That's right wing humor in a nutshell, find a joke that's kinda funny or witty and drive it into the ground for the foreseeable future. I thought it was pretty funny too at first, but it's years past its expiration date

The problem it was never a joke, it was always barely conscious retards saying "Let's go Brandon" thinking it was some kind of clever inside joke and that no one knew what they were actually saying

I never thought it was funny and idiot Republicans using the phrase are basically working against themselves by confusing anyone who doesn't know what it actually means.

Anyone not in on the joke would wonder who is Brandon and do they want him to succeed or leave? Some people would correctly interpret Brandon as Biden and let's go as "Keep up the good work."

Without it, we wouldn't have Dark Brandon, which is hilarious

"For a week, it was worth a giggle."

humor is subjective. it was telling, to me, the people who got that giggle, and the ones that kept running with it even after it lost it's... giggle worthiness.

As if, when someone tells you a joke, and then says, GET IT? GET IT? no? oh shit, now they have to explain the joke's mechanics because obviously you haven't gotten it, otherwise you'd be herniating with laughter.... except, it was never funny in the first place.

Ironically, they'll never get it: dems say fuck joe biden all the time, and don't feel the need for childish self censorship when we say it, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT 5 YEAR OLDS. Or members of a deranged cult. I get pissed at people all the time but don't waste my days coming up with clever homonyms to insult them.

But I get that it plays to Trump's base, they act like children in a cult.

Great thing about it is come back to it in ten years and they'll tell you to shut up. Ala Jake the plumber.

if not funny why do i laugh hmm 🧐

It's deader than all those people in tiananmen square
