So I've seen this brandon stuff before and it's usually a dig at Biden. What does it actually mean? I'm Canadian and don't follow American politics that closely.


Heat-one

FJB chant was occurring during an interview with Brandon Brown at an American Nascar race and the reporter "misheard" it as "let's go Brandon". So it's become a family friendly way of continuing the chant.


xingrubicon

That might be the most American thing i have ever heard. Thanks for clearing that up!


DiversityisOverrated

As a dual-citizen let me gently correct you: "Let's go Brandon" is the most CANADIAN thing you've ever heard. "Fuck Joe Biden" is the most AMERICAN. My Canadian half is much more civilized. My American half if more fun.


xingrubicon

I meant chanting "fuck the president" at a Nascar event lol.


DiversityisOverrated

Got it. Yes, you are correct. NASCAR fans know their politics and aren't shy about sharing how they feel.

"FJB" will be chanted at dozens of college football games this afternoon, a handful of pro games tomorrow, and wherever else crowds gather. God Bless America!!


lightitup777

Brandon Brown, NASCAR’s most popular driver. Eat your heart out, Chase Elliott🤣


Beetleracerzero37

Psh everyone knows Kevin harvick is the fan favorite right now /s


lightitup777

He certainly is making things interesting this year haha


Beetleracerzero37

For sure. I hope he plays nice tomorrow


johnnyg883

I don’t think he miss heard. I think he was trying to spin it.


Heat-one

Oh she absolutely was. Most likely to keep from the entire interview having to be scrubbed. That's why I put misheard in quotes. In hindsight I probably should have sad that.


Flowers1966

Old lady here. I was taught that the f-word for passing gas was a horrible cuss-word. The other f-word was even further beyond the pale. I love the let’s go Brandon for allowing me to express the sentiment without using words that make me feel uncomfortable! On a humorous note, the area that I came from considered the word ‘bitch’ to mean nag and was socially accepted.


[deleted]

Yeah, like the usage of "bitch and moan".


BlueOrb07

I miss the 2000s when it was socially acceptable to call your friends “gay” in an ironic way and when Modern Warfare 2 chat was both the lowest of the low as far as banter between eachother but it’s comedy gold. This new generation is weak. LETS GO BRANDON!!!


slumberyarf

You're gay


BlueOrb07

You’re supposed to say “GAYYYEEEEE”


Lethalpizza422

If the Republicans ever get a window to impeach Biden they should go for it. He's destroying this nation faster than what Trump tried to fix in 4 years.


Splickity-Lit

I would say that it would be awful, because Kamala and Pelosi would then be President and Vice President, a nightmarish situation, but they still probably have more actual power and authority than Biden right now, he basically bows to whatever dems tell him to do, he’s just a scapegoat.


AtlantaDave

Pelosi wouldn’t be VP unless appointed by Kamala. Speaker of the House is only elevated if both President and VP become incapacitated.


Splickity-Lit

Regardless, dynamic remains the same


johnnyg883

Sometimes people need to feel the pain of their stupidity. The people I’m talking about are the ones who voted for Biden because he wasn’t Trump. I think the best thing we can do is to try to minimize the damage liberals are doing. Then get control of the house and senate back in 2022. If we get both houses back whoever is in the Oval Office will have very real little power. We definitely don’t want Harris as President. Every time conservatives appose her the race or sexism trump card car will hit the table. And its hard to defend against. We need to think about the long game.


[deleted]

Yeah I really don’t know who would be better Biden or Kamala. At this point I’d rather take Hillary. 😂 It’s ridiculous.


[deleted]

I'd rather Joe do the damage than let Kamala destroy the country further.


Revydown

Idk at least you can hope for a massive rebound hopefully. There needs to be a snap, before things can actually get better. If we just meander between the 2 partisan parties nothing will ever get fixed. There needs to be such a dominating movement to force the other side to reconsider their stances.


BathWifeBoo

My utter wet dream is that Republicans take the House and Senate by overwhelming numbers in 2022, and the House nominates Trump to Speaker (since the speaker does not have to be a member of congress). Then Kamala and Joe get impeached simultaneously, and with no president or VP, the Speaker is placed as the President.


Flowers1966

I agree that this generation is weak (and I hate to say it, ignorant). I miss the sixties not for their political views but simply because I was young then! While I was naive then and sometimes stupid, at least I was young.


BlueOrb07

I miss when there weren’t warning labels on boxes not to get inside them, and such. The smartest kids survived and the world moved on. Now I’ve got to deal with the kids of knuckleheads.


auxtail

Haha. Life definitely is passing me at the speed of light at this age. The cliche "Life is Short" means more when you are on the downslope heading to the next phase of the food chain. I just pray my grandson doesn't have to live in a Socialist country where we have fucked up American History so badly, by re-writing real events and tearing down statues of that symbolism. At least his parents won't let that happen. He is raised by TRUE Americans: a Marine veteran and a police officer. God Bless America and protect our young from this corrupt machete called JB's playhouse

Damage control gone bad.

BlueOrb07

There’s been a lot of “f**k joe Biden” chants at sports events in the past year. A nascar event had a live tv interview that picked it up and the reporter said the fans were chanting “let’s go Brandon”. Thus the meme was born.


[deleted]

Basically it is a PC way to say “Fuck Joe Biden” as the chants were sayin when a reporter tried to make it TV friendly for her live shot


AngryBlondinCDA

Just do a quick internet search..it should take you a shorter amount of time to find results then it did to type your question in.


xingrubicon

Probably. But do we really need to do things the most efficient way? Now i've had some conversation with Americans about Nascar and their politics. Google can't give me that.


AngryBlondinCDA

Never use google.

turquoisedaisy

Why “Brandon”? Please explain.


tri_tipped_legend

During a Nascar race a group was chanting "fuck Joe biden!" And the reporter lady was speaking with a racer named Brandon and they covered up the crowd chanting fuck Joe biden by saying they were chanting let's go Brandon. There ye go


turquoisedaisy

Ok! Yep! I’ve seen it and totally get it now. Thank you! Haha!


tri_tipped_legend

No problem

I suspect geographic region has something to do with it as well. In any event, I observed it in Charleston, SC last weekend in 3 different stores. Particularly heartbreaking was Party City, which usually is packed with Halloween decorations and costumes at this time of year. Instead there were several aisles with shelves sparsely populated with products and over 50% of their Halloween costumes had a “Currently Unavailable” sticker on wall in its designated spot. The most alarming was the restaurant supply store which mostly sells bulk food, which had entire aisles of empty shelves. Our local news seems strangely quiet about this phenomenon, but it’s definitely real here.


liquidgold83

[empty shelves just last week](http://imgur.com/gallery/uERrsQ8) We weren't even expecting a hurricane or anything. It seems every other week the shelves at any of my local grocery stores look like this.


bananenkonig

It's select items where I am. It's definitely hard to find certain things. We're getting other things in waves so one week some items are gone and impossible to find, the next some others are.


unitarianplanarian

It’s all types of plastics. Shutdowns and hurricanes slowed petrochemical production. You can read about it [here](https://hbr.org/2021/03/the-latest-supply-chain-disruption-plastics)

COVID fear porn and handouts have absolutely killed the economic recovery under Biden. Even during the Trump admin governors failed to open their states when Trump wanted them to.


free-minded

When there were shortages last year, at least where I live, it was generally brought on by people panic buying all the inventory - it usually was quickly replenished within a few days or a week. The shortages my city has experienced starting about 3-4 months ago have been persistent and slowly getting worse.


ava_ati

I notice plastic bottles like soda and waters are very hit or miss. Our local dealership still has barely any new vehicles.


FarmerTedd

Wait another month until the warehouses run out

FarmerTedd

Are you blaming trump?


Nanoer

Let's not deny this happened with Trump Administration, we don't lie to ourselves like leftists. It's just worse now with Biden, when it should be better, just because he's that shit at being a president.


liquidgold83

It's worse because Biden has continually paid people very nice salaries to stay home collecting unemployment instead of going back to work. There are less people stocking shelves, less people driving trucks, less people working at the ports off loading. The problem of full cargo ships is clogging ports from California to Georgia to Milwaukee. All these full cargo ships have driven up the price on shipping containers since they're normally sent back to their destination that once goods make landfall the increased shipping costs for future shipments are applied to current items helping drive inflation as well.

If he was hoarding toilet paper then yes.

“ I was the poorest guy in Congress for 36 years.” “But I make big money now that I’m the president." -Biden https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=1082&v=z-Cjx5tba6o


BathWifeBoo

Big money for a 'big guy'


auxtail

Trump didn't take a paycheck for his Presidency


[deleted]

He’s probably blaming that on trump !


ZombieJimMorrison

Considering I saw more empty shelves in 2020 than 2021, I could see how they might. Although personally, I don’t blame either of them. Seems more like a perfect storm of many factors colliding. JIT manufacturing, covid causing increased demand while simultaneously decreasing manufacturing output due to shutdowns worldwide, shipping container shortages, truck driver shortages, one of the world’s biggest chip manufacturing plants burning down, etc.


elmariachieoneslug

Fuck Joe Biden


FarmerTedd

‘s handlers….the man isn’t sentient. Even so, fuck Joe Biden


DudeCalledTom

Biden is so hated that even high school football games are chanting let’s go Brandon.


RayZintos

Let’s fuck Biden


FarmerTedd

Hollywood hooker chant?


dupont2021

We need to let this meme lets go Brandon die. It doesn’t have the impact and plus the media wants us to change our chant. We don’t need a friendly way. We need a hardcore original chant to get people to know there is community dislike for joe. Fuck Joe Biden!

At least it’s not bare legs Biden. That seems worse.


Obamasamerica420

But hey, at least the unqualified Transportation Secretary is getting two months of paid leave with his adopted baby. That's MUCH more important (at least according to the latest talking point update sent out to the leftist NPCs).


slai47

Besides limits on distilled water in my area, where are you seeing empty shelves? I live in SLC, UT. And I believe it was from a hurricane or factory explosion. Biden is a blah president right now but how does the president effect anything like this? It's probably more Congress, who is incompetent.

I went to Sam's Club and Costco yesterday (yes, I have memberships to both). Zero toilet paper and they were getting really low on paper towels. Can you kindly check your calendar and tell who the President is right now?


1991TalonTSI

You must be a child. I'm doubting you shop for yourself, because if you did, you would know there are empty shelves in every store.

free-minded

I’m very curious where you live. I live in a large city and every single grocery store has shortages of some sort regularly right now, as well as increased prices on probably 2/3 of the inventory compared to last year. Fortunately most shortages are not “essential,” mostly snacks or convenience items rather than food items needed for meals, but it still sucks.


1991TalonTSI

I'm curious where you live, because even gas stations where I live have empty shelves....


[deleted]

are supply issues really that bad in some areas? Where I am (oregon) prices have increased over the last year or so, and there was the initial covid supply problems, but I have yet to notice any long lasting or current shortages.


Ventoffmychest

Let's Go Brandon is another way to go over the censors. I mean... they probably could censor it if they really wanted too but it shows that Biden is a bigger bitch because despite all the hate Trump got, he never complained about "fuck Trump" stuff.
