The Biden Admin is missing a prime opportunity to capitalize on "Let's Go Brandon."

Imagine a "Let's Go Brandon" montage where the admin highlights all the unsung heroes of the past 1+ year during Covid...teachers health care professionals, uber drivers, etc who happen to be named "Brandon".

And then sign off with a line like" We are all Brandon!"

After each mini-profile of one of the folks you mentioned... A sound bite of a bunch of little kids screaming "Let's Go, Brandon!" Over and over again! And, include women workers named Brandy... "Let's go, Brandy!"

by the right group(s).

I’d like to see ads where a group of 10 white wingers is yelling “Let’s Go, Brandon.”

On the other side of street, thousands of people are yelling, “Screw You, ignorant GOPers.”

Think your idea has better chance.

and if it backfires, where are you then? There are other ways to counter propaganda against you. Don't feed the fire.

Comedians and Obama turned that one on its head.



Would be nice to be able to do something similar with the “Let’s Go Brandon” theme but my gut feeling is that’s already dying out, even with the latest idiot. So might be best to just let it die as I don’t think the phrase resonates with anyone outside of hard core right. BUT, if it does seem to gain traction then I agree that doing something similar to the “thanks Obama” phrase might be worth looking at. But I think it would need to start with comedians like SNL, etc first—and the WH could build on that what happened with “thanks Obama”

Stop allowing ReTHUGS to define Democrats - it’s the BIDEN administration.
That is all.
