Remember When Democrats Told Us "Let's Go Brandon" Was Dangerous?

<![CDATA[I do, too. By the fall of 2021, Joe Biden's regency had already failed catastrophically in its withdrawal from Afghanistan, killing 13 Americans and countless Afghans in the process. Inflation had already begun to take off, and COVID restrictions kept getting extended to such a degree that even college-aged Americans, typically a Democratic demographic stronghold, had seen enough. At college football venues all over the country, "F...Joe Biden" chants became a viral thing very quickly. The profane chant did not stay contained to football. It crossed over into other sports and even at rock concerts. You heard it at the Ryder Cup in golf. And then on October 2nd, 2021, thanks to NBC's NASCAR field reporter Kelli Stavast, the chant mutated spectacularly into "Let's Go Brandon" for the rest of Biden's term in office. Brandon Brown had just won the Sparks 300 race at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama, and after racing three-plus hours at almost 200 mph with no windows amidst a very loud field of 42 other cars not exactly muffled to be considered street legal, he couldn't hear what the crowd was chanting behind him in the post-race interview. Stavast, knowing full well what profanity was being repeated, tried to cover it up by saying, "They're saying 'Let's go, Brandon.'" And thus, a meme was born. It was crude, it was vulgar, it was juvenile, but it was a way of blowing off steam at an administration that was already widely-regarded as a disaster, and it wasn't even a year old, yet. There remained plenty of people who fiercely opposed everything Joe Biden's team said and did in office, but still wished the national rhetoric didn't continue to coarsen the way it was heading. And then, there were the opportunists in leftist media who tried to see the darker, hidden meaning behind the LGB meme. Nicolle Wallace on MSNBC (now M-SNOW), was the chief offender at reading way too much into the expressive chant, calling it a slow-motion insurrection. Here's our good friend, Ben Domenech, filling in for Sean Hannity on Fox back in the day, framing the issue. ]]>
