(5,441 posts)42. Appropriate the phrase: This could easily be turned into a cheer for Biden
When you hear someone say it, just say wow I didn't know you support Joe Biden. Tell them that you know that Brandon means Biden and that "let's go" is obvious a sign of support! They'll have a devil of a time explaining how it's really negative. Just shake your head as they try to explain and say "come on, 'let's go' sure sounds positive to me". Just nod and say it's great if you support him, that you do too!
Appropriating terms is what right-wingers usually do, trying to turn the words "woke" or "liberal" into negative meanings, so it's only fair play to play the same game.

Unprofessional. He's conducting his duties as pilot, he can be as political

If I were on that flight my next stop would be to complain to Southwest and to the FAA.

Ironic considering that Trump supporters are the ones getting arrested for unruly inflight behavior

I'm surprised Republicans believe in air travel. Science and government regulations?
