So many levels of meta-irony in this thread. You're laughing at a non-existent strawman you've been fed by the media.

The people saying Let's Go Brandon are perfectly happy to say Fuck Joe Biden. That's how the whole thing started. A large crowd at a televised NASCAR race started chanting it in unison whilst the winning driver called Brandon was being interviewed. The words they were saying were perfectly audible, but the interviewer tried to claim the crowd were not saying "Fuck Joe Biden" but rather enthusiastically chanting "Let's Go Brandon".

This immediately became a meme because it's such a perfect shorthand for the duplicity and accountability-free manipulation of the US media.

That's why it became a conservative meme in the following months. But of course because the media don't tell anyone where it came from or why, the people who get their information from it now believe that it's a "hilarious self-own" and people saying it "want to insult but don't want to say the exact words"!

Nvm0n1 gave a good explanations of the meme nature of "let's go Brandon". Not sure why you are being rude. You clearly live in a small political world and don't understand the meta.
