A while back there was an incident where someone tried to say Fuck Biden and apparently it came out sounding like Brandon. So people started saying Brandon for their own pettyness where they thought saying Brandon and not just saying fuck Biden was more professional. (Cowards)
Then Bidens office owned it after a photo came out where they cropped a blue and red background to look like Biden was just standing in front of just a red background (ominous, like the sith) instead of acting like a child and when they made "aggressive" moves or did something the republican party didn't like they started using the term Dark Brandon that popped up online.
Republicans were saying Swift was possibly going to endorse Biden, which is dumb, why would she split her income base while making millions/billions. So the Biden administration trolled them by saying "just like we planned it" insinuating that the game was rigged for Kansas City to win, so Swift would have a large platform to announce her support.
As far as I know Swift has done nothing but tell people to make sure they vote....Republicans don't like that, as Trump lost the majority vote in both elections he was in, but managed to still win the 2016 election due to the electorial college.
Okay. I understood all of that. now.... can you explain all the rest of american politics? for our, uh, eurpoean friend? (They exist! honest!... don't look at me like that...)
Lol Where do you want me to start. I'll do my best. Do we start pre 1776 to understand how we got to this mess or do you want an abridged last 30 years ordeal
Specifically a crowd chanted "fuck Joe Biden" and a person giving a media interview tried to play it off as them saying "Let's go Brandon" because she was interviewing Brandon Brown live after he won a race.
From their perspective, this was intentional to try to silence them so they ran with it, and hence the meme was born. The whole point is the media being cowardly and trying to silence them (in their eyes), not them being afraid to say what they mean. So it's supposed to be a simultaneous jab at Biden and at the media.
