    Who the hell is Brandon? I don’t even remember his name. Such a dumb slogan.

      At a NASCAR race, a bastion of redneckery, a person on camera said Fuck Joe Biden, and the reporter said something along the lines of Let’s Go Brandon, I suppose mishearing the person in a loud venue and/or confusing it for a driver.

      It stuck and Let’s go Brandon became a tongue in cheek way of voicing their displeasure with our current president.

      On the other side…

      Any time Biden has done anything progressive or to stymie the GoP it is his “Dark Brandon” persona that the internet created.

      Basically dems flipped the meme, or at least tried to and it became a memetic way to celebrate perceived victories over the GoP, as I understand it.
