The media spent the last two years calling normal people bigots and transphobes and telling people they were racist for not wanting stores burned and cops murdered

The disconnect is amazing, and it's why they won't be able to do anything about the LGB stuff without - once again - targeting your job or your family welfare or your kids.

There is a reason authoritarian socialist states don't like for people to leave and American cities down like people breaking off to govern themselves. Freedom is antithetical to their worldview.


To hell with our bullshite journalism and entertainment industry.

Certainly more vulgar than an actor saying the exact phrase “frick Trump” during a live awards show

So yeah it's a legit viral meme without restrictions on broadcast that's making Democrats melt down, creating a Streisand Effect that's creating its own version of a slightly different viral meme.


The part that's so irritating to them is that it was created by the media trying to cover up a legit FJB chant. They delivered a new, vanilla phrase that allowed every church-going devout Baptist to engage in the vulgar fun without feeling guilty....and it's the result of the leftist media's damage control

At the F1 event in Austin weekend before last, at the end of the playing of the national anthem I waited for the usual clapping to settle then shouted out LGB. Got some applause, but nobody picked it up. Was disappointed.

It's only maddening to the media because they can't control it, they can't control the narrative. So it pisses them off and they are trying to make it hate speech. They can frick right off with that. The more they fight it, the more people like me that's ignored it, will start chanting it.

It’s funny.
But every great joke has a shelf life and this one has about reached it

It's this along with being clever to avoid actual profanity so it can be broadcast without issue across all mediums.


that's why they've introduced the new phrase "vulgarity stand-in"

It would have if the media had left it alone. They just threw gasoline on it and hit the reset button.

They can't leave it alone because they have to turn every bit of resistance into an existential crisis

Not only that, but LGB is deceptively close to LGBT (while Leaving off the T which is probably 90% of people’s issue with the movement currently)

So it’s surreptitious on another level.

Let’s Go Brandon is the best meme of 21

Yeah, he's trying to say he hates it without saying he hates it. It's completely organic and was created by his beloved media and he can't handle it

Not even close. The jokes will stop when our media stops trying to fight it.

But the chant’s popularity has infuriated the left, resulting in an onslaught of angry tweets, columns and hot takes from liberal pundits. NPR labeled the term "vulgar" and CNN’s Edward-Issac Dovere was so offended by the phrase that he called it "an inside joke telling the president of the United States to perform a sexual act on himself."


Edward-Issac Dovere is 100% correct. However, I don't think it's that much of an inside joke anymore, since the whole world knows what it means now.

Well, like I said, I laughed about it, but never chanted it or said it though I do think it's funny. But now that they are trying to make it hate speech, I'll find ways to incorporate it into everyday speech now. fricking media thinks they can control us.

And the media referring to it as a "vulgar chant" when it's not vulgar at all. It's total gaslighting.

Our language is riddled with words that replace actual vulgarity, like "dang" and "shoot" and "heck" and even $#@% symbols. We all know the word that is being referred to, but we don't consider those words vulgar.
