That wasn't the point of the "Let's Go Brandon" crap. At all.

Then yeah the Pritzker Sucks...the life out of small businesses is a simple double-play, a cheeky "gotcha". Not a lack of conviction at all.

It's the equivalent of children thinking they are clever for speaking in pig latin

But I would probably try to backpedal if I said that stupid shit too

....no.... Still not the story behind Let's Go Brandon. It's a constant call to attention that a reporter tried to lie about a crowd of young men yelling "Fuck Joe Biden" at a NASCAR race. Insisting they were instead chanting, "Let's Go Brandon".

So much like the Pritzker signs with dual meaning, when they were saying Let's Go Brandon, it's not only saying Fuck Joe Biden, but also fuck the people censoring speech.

I get the origin. I understand it.

Thatbdoesn't change that its a cop out for people to try to be edgy but think saying "Fuck" is a little too edgy.

I'm sure the people who midlessly chant that know the etymology of the phrase and aren't just screaming fuck joe biden in pig latin

It's a reaction to a reporter at a NASCAR event hearing the crowd yell "Fuck Joe Biden" and pretending they said "Let's Go Brandon" - they basically just ran with it. The entire connection between the two is a reporter openly lying about what a crowd was audibly yelling. This resonates hard with the sort of people who believe the mainstream media (meaning all major news media except the largest cable news network, of course) is extremely deceitful at every turn to protect a Democrat agenda.
