The best part about let's go brandon is you can say it and not sound the least bit offensive.


It’s quick too, especially at sporting events. You can’t cut off fans at “Let’s go.”

The article claimed, "The current eruption of anti-Biden signs and chants, however, is on another level, far more vulgar and widespread" than anything seen in previous administrations.


Absolute, 100%, unadulterated horse shite.

They've lost almost all of their credibility in the past 10 years. May as well go down in flames.

You missed a step. Somehow this is going to be called x-ist.

Which will be hard, considering Biden is a privileged white male, but it's coming.

Went to ACL after DJT was elected (I think in 2017) a rapper literally did a song called “frick Donald Trump.”

Didn’t agree the messaging, but it was catchy

F-ck Joe Biden was already widespread at virtually all sports arenas over the summer. Now it's G-rated and thus more popular. And now and checks the "insult a journalist" box.



And they're trying to make the origins of FJB into some Jan 6/white supremacist thing, when in reality it's everyday people (mostly college kids) at sporting events that brought it to popularity.

So the media and politicians can criticize citizens, but we can't criticize them?

They are trying so hard to make it racist. But that hip hop song called "let's go Brandon" really screwed up their normal playbook.

That song came out quickly and got extremely popular almost right away. And the music video is not subtle about the meaning at all.

This whole "Lets go brandon" thing proves that words or just that... Words.

Lets = frick
Go = You
Brandon = Biden

So does the word 'lets' become a banned TV word because it can be used to mean frick?

After the 4 year witch hunt of the sitting president from 2016 to 2020, they deserve this and much more

FJB would be fairly tame by Tiger Stadium standards.

There were music videos (widely shared on twitter) depicting a rapper assassinating Trump. I even think one of those older Hollywood types that used to be popular did a photo shoot holding a severed, bloody Trump head.

But yeah. Let's go Brandon is vulgar and must be censored.
