'Let's go, Brandon' is much more than a cheesy nickname for Biden
By Christopher Garbacz
In a recent Salon article, Matthew Rozsa attempted to fold "Let's go, Brandon," into the long history of "insulting presidential nicknames." Aside from telling the risible falsehood that NBC's Kelli Stavast mistook a quite clear chant of "F--- Joe Biden" for "Let's Go, Brandon," Rozsa would have us believe that this is just another derogatory insult directed solely at the president, irrespective of what he stood for. That seriously underestimates the broad reach of that slogan, born from a desperately unhappy year for Americans.
In fact, "Let's go, Brandon" and its predecessor chant, "F--- Joe Biden," are directed to the core of D.C.'s central control of most everything that's gone wrong since January 20, 2021: inflation, regulation, taxes, debt, government policy failure, COVID mandates, wide-open borders, abortion, the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, Critical Race Theory, trans/gay this and that, and all the other assaults on America, both large and small. It's America's response to pervasive D.C. control.
You really can't say "F--- Joe Biden" very effectively outside a sports stadium. But the euphemism that one hapless NBC reporter created while she was trying to protect Joe Biden is classic. It fills a vacuum, and it has long legs. It isn't going away.
