How 'Let's Go Brandon' became a swipe at Joe Biden — and national media
2021-11-03
[NYPOST] The "Let’s Go Brandon" message on the Hoods Up Quick Lube sign was up for four days, but it was long enough for the owners to make their point.Ever since Oct. 3, when an NBC news hound interviewing NASCAR driver Brandon Brown mistook a vulgar chant from the crowd — "F—k Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences. So does Afghanistan, aka Biden's Bungle...
" — as "Let’s Go Brandon," the phrase has gone viral. Within days, people across the country were sharing their displeasure with the president by putting up homemade "Let’s Go Brandon" signs along roadways. They’ve been chanting the message at high school football games, wearing it on the backs of T-shirts, and displaying it on digital signs at construction sites where they work. A rapper performing a "Let’s Go Brandon" tune on TikTok has shot to the top of the iTunes charts. Recently, a Southwest Airlines pilot was allegedly captured on video saying "Let’s Go Brandon" over the flight’s intercom, leading to an internal investigation.

Bill Bretz, chair of the Westmoreland County Republican Party, said he posted a photo of the Hoods Up Quick Lube sign on his party’s Facebook page last Thursday and it quickly caught on.

#6  There is a line in the original "The Day the Earth Stood Still" I really like. The boarding house residents are sitting around the table and one of the men said, "The Government should do something". One of the ladies said, "They are only people". The man retorted, "People my foot! They're Democrats!".

#5  Ref #1: Political correctness, however, is a form of "negative cognition" - framing ideas, persuading yourself or others, so that one's ability to know is continually decreased.

"You mean like democrats?"

#4  Not quite "Who is John Galt?" but it certainly encapsulates the current mood. And that bothers the left and the media (but, I wax redundant) a lot.

#1  Hypocognition: A long-standing failure to understand a problem — to even see it as a problem. George Lakoff: “the words or language that need to exist to frame an idea in a way which can lead to persuasive communication is either non-existent or ineffective.”
