The Brandon Administration

This is such a strange time to be alive.

I think...

The traditional, faithful, law-abiding, polite, etc sort of citizen who would NEVER publically utter the F-bomb aloud finds a bit of mischievous glee in chanting "Let's Go, Brandon!"

I think this is part of why the revolutionary, pagan, transgressive, etc sort of globalist who routinely drops the F-bomb into conversations hates the expression so very much.

The AP is shocked to discover that it's code for a vulgarity, and not just any vulgarity, but one directed against our leader. Why, I never. Have you thought about the impact on children?

People are having fun getting the airport to broadcast messages for "Lessko Brandon." The other day I saw footage of a school board meeting whose presiding officer read off a list of people who'd signed up to speak, including, you guessed it.

It reminds me of the "We Tu Lo" prank after the Korean Airlines near-crash on the West Coast. Juvenile, yes, but it makes me laugh to this day. Who doesn't enjoy seeing a clueless pomposity punctured? And if they don't like it, they can go to heck.

I guess what’s strange to me is that this started with a post-race NASCAR interview. No one watches those. They’re pro forma, with no interesting information ever being conveyed.

Yet somehow it became a widely-viewed YouTube clip. Then some guy made a song about it, which went to #1, beating out the current boutique “star” that the media has spent millions promoting for years. Then a second song about the clip also beat her on the charts. Now a Governor references the clip, and the audience at a political press conference breaks out into the chant.

It’s a really strange phenomenon, one that suggests things are more out of control than they appear.

Strange phenomenon? Out of control? I'm not following that.

How did rocks as pets and a singing purple dinosaur get popular back in the day? Why is the fourth day in May still a thing (at least on Facebook)? I'm guessing LGB happened in pretty much the same way. Even in the US there's likely a vast samizdat network that routes around attempts at censorship by the cultural movers and shakers.

Right. Pussy hats would be much better.

From such small events are nationwide memes made.

It probably wouldn't have gained any traction if the NBC interviewer hadn't tried to cover up the crowd's FJB chants by telling the race winner, Brandon Brown, that the crowd was chanting "Lets Go Brandon."
