    They think that just because you voted for a certain guy, it means you love him. Nope. I probably hate Joe Biden more than most Republicans do. Unlike them, I actually know some of his policies. Some of them are great. And some of them are wretched. But most of them are just business as usual bullshit when what we need is real change.

        I think what he meant was we need positive change. Burning our own country down is definitely change, but… well, I guess it’s what the (fucking traitorous) voters wanted, so… buckle up.

          As a foreigner whos seen what the US does to other countries, the US burning down sounds pretty good, and being a traitor to the US something to be encouraged.

        How does one person change the “vibes” for millions upon millions of people? It’s not by running the government efficiently, even though that’s what is needed. Truth is, it’s more about being bold and doing things that let people feel good about the people in charge.

        Anyway, there is no way the Dems could change the perception that things were getting better, and not just upholding the status quo, without having messaging that makes it very clear.

      Every day I get down on my knees and pray to the Sweet Baby Jesus that we get the kind of Far-Left Super-Woke Anti-Imperial Anti-Racist-Baby Red Diaper LGBTQ Sicko Pinko Communist that the average FOX News Republican keep insisting Democrats elected.

    Arguing politics with someone who thinks ‘let’s go Brandon’ is useful argumentation is like arguing religion with someone who never read their holy book or science with someone who barely passed 5th grade, their whole position is as superficial as possible and they think name calling is effective discourse in general because it works on people who are uneducated on the topic and rhetoric like themselves.

      Trumpists: “We did it! We won! Trump is President! What’s the first step to Making America Great Again?”

      Elon: “I think we’re going to increase the number of H1-B visas.”

      Vivek: “Definitely more East Asian immigration. That’s what this country needs more than anything.”

      Trump: “Sounds good to me.”

        Don’t forget massive cuts to Social Security and a hit on any pension money the organization can get its hands on.

        It’s easy to take the piss out of magaheads cause obviously they were being swindled by a person and ideology that in no way threatens power and it’s fun too. Wait… what was the point I was trying to make? Oh yeah, some of them will be disillusioned with the growing amount of contradictions and the left will can organize and pick some folks up, which would be neat. I don’t know though, I’m not an organizer, just a shittalker online. so… yeah.

      It means ‘fuck Joe biden’, there was some NASCAR thing where people were chanting ‘fuck Joe Biden’. It was being reported on and the reporter relayed it as ‘lets go brandon’ and it became a meme on the right.

      The meme in this thread is about how American conservatives completely miss the nuance of why people on the left actually oppose both them and centrist Democrats. It’s easier to do childish shit and just assume that everyone to their left is some form of liberal who loves Joe Biden. The good news is they’re not getting younger.

    I remember starting counter-chants in the student section when redcap shitters would try it at games.

    An instant “shut the fuck uh-up” or “watch the damn gay-aym” quieted them down real quick every time.

    They started saying it because neolibs were trying to get the red MAGAs banned from communities and platforms for bad language, or just getting the algorithm to suppress it from feeds. Then when they switched, neolibs got pissed the red MAGAs were working around the algorithm filtering, and started posting this stupid meme.

    Watching Red & Blue MAGA bicker is like watching toddlers argue.

      No they weren’t no one gives a fuck if you swear. Maga people started saying it because of that news reporter at a nascar* (I believe) event. The crowd was chanting fuck joe Biden and she misheard it and it went viral.

        I really doubt she misheard it, the whole stadium was chanting it, she just couldn’t repeat “fuck joe biden” on the news when they asked what they were chanting.

          Naw our brains do that shit all the time - you don’t hear someone quite right, and instead of recognizing that you didn’t get the info, your noggin just fills in the blanks on its own. She very well may have clearly heard “Let’s go Brandon!”

          Perception is reality.

        She was interviewing the winning driver, named Brandon, and tried to spin it into a chant for him.
