Nov 2021

...some press reported that as "let's go Brandon," in reference to a local republican candidate running at the time.

Supporters have adopted the chant in a childish feint, transparently referring to the former, offensive slur of the president.

During the interview, the crowd at the race track started the offensive chant, and the interviewer told him they were saying "Let's go Brandon."

I should've known it was gonna be something stupid.

55. From Know Your Meme:
Sat Nov 6, 2021, 06:12 AM
Nov 2021
Let's Go Brandon refers to a viral video of NASCAR racer Brandon Brown speaking to NBC about winning the NASCAR Xfinity Series while the crowd chants "fuck Joe Biden," which the newscaster claims is a chant of "let's go Brandon" instead, seemingly as a form of damage control. The video went viral in October 2021 following numerous reports of people chanting "fuck Joe Biden" at sports events began surfacing around September in protest of President Biden and often to show support for Trump. In early October people started using the phrase in place of "fuck Joe Biden" to criticize and joke about the President.

Her right hand is visible in one pic but not the other, and her feet are positioned a little differently, so they are definitely not the same shot. But, wow, is it close!

So I'll just say this: I have a big lumpy butt, and I make a point of NOT wearing things that call attention to its size or its lumpiness. I think that is a good general rule for people with big lumpy butts to follow.

Lauren Boebert evidently does not agree. That is all. 🤐

Owning the narrative is a voter engagement strategy too often overlooked by the Democrats. That's the reason we keep losing elections that the polls tell us we should have won.
