How 'Let's Go Brandon!' became a national social media sensation | Fox News

On a quiet street south of downtown Boise, Michael Dick has festooned his front yard with homemade signs, including a large yellow placard that facetiously thanks President Biden for a growing list of grievances — $4-a-gallon gas, inflation, Afghanistan, covid-19. In capital letters in black marker, Dick, 59, recently added "dead civilians" and "dead U.S. soldiers" to his bill of particulars.

On Wednesday, when the president visited Scranton, Pa., he was greeted at the corner of Biden Street by a woman holding a handmade “F--- Joe Biden” sign, with an American flag as the vowel in the offending word. And back in Boise, Rod Johnson, a retired gunsmith, has hung a blue flag from the roof of his home that reads “F--- Biden.” Underneath, in smaller letters, he added, “And f--- you for voting for him!!” 

“I’m not the only Republican that doesn’t like Biden,” Johnson, 68, said in an interview, sporting a red “Proud White American” hat and puffing a skinny cigar. “I just chose to show it.”

During the 2020 presidential campaign, one of Biden’s political superpowers was his sheer inoffensiveness, the way he often managed to embody — even to those who didn’t like him — the innocuous grandfather, the bumbling uncle, the leader who could make America calm, steady, even boring again after four years of Donald Trump.

 

But it’s clear that after nine months in office, Biden — or at least what he represents — is increasingly becoming an object of hatred to many Trump supporters. The vitriol partly reflects Trump’s own repeated baseless claims that Biden is a usurper, depriving him of his rightful claim to the presidency, and partly stems from Biden actions that Republicans deplore, from his spending plans to his immigration policies.

Yet the anger also demonstrates how a political party or cause often needs an enemy, a target of vilification that can unite its adherents — and, in this case, one refracted through the harshness, norm-breaking and vulgarity of the Trump era.

  • Biden is nothing more then a, yet to be indicted financial FELON  ,oh yeah ,lets not forget his genuis son . From the Day the election was stolen to this very day Biden

    has proven himself to be everything that an honest man is NOT !     

  • The DHS and President need to be hauled up and keyholed ... they are encouraging lawlessness by supporting policies that promote unlawful immigration and domestic violence. Instead of deporting known criminal aliens, many are being released to reoffend.  The left is full of sick, sick, sick individuals who hold high office and see these types of crimes as retribution for some feigned past abuse by America. 

    It is time to brand the Democrat Party as Domestic Terrorist and insurrectionist... for their lack of border and LAW ENFORCEMENT.  The HUGE INCREASES in all categories of violent crime are tied directly to their Party's policies and personal affinity for immoral conduct.  Their Party's policies to defund the police, and to permit open violence and lawlessness, are well documented; instructing law enforcement not to take action to restore order in America's cities and borders is appalling.

    • I agree completely!

  • If I see a Boy go into a Girl's bathroom and Take a young woman, and see a convicted Illegal continually Rape a woman on Public Transportation while others watch, "It makes me want to rip their heads off and crap down their necks!" Some may call this "Angry." I call it "An American Reaction!" to an "Act of Wrong!" It doesn't matter what excuse is given it, or how many times it is given throughout the generations, "If it is Wrong, it isn't Right!"

    • The sad thing about it Lynn is that... those American males who respond to protect women suffering from such Democrat Party Terrorism will end up being arrested and sent to prison; while, the offender is released to reoffend, over and over.  Women who vote for Democrats have to be suicidal or disconnected from reality.

  • "When Trump acts like a savage, it makes other people think it’s okay to act like a savage. . . . We’re so tribal, everybody now is an angry Democrat or an angry Republican.”

    Hmmmmmmmm, it's Trump's fault we aren't civilized........or, could it be, the people have had enough. Speaking in socially exceptable manner didn't get us anywhere and people no longer care how, they just want to make clear how they really feel. So, is it Trump, or is it simply that we are frustrated because we aren't getting anywhere?

    • So tell me just what did Trump do to make you say he acted like a savage?  Or don't you know!

  • Barack Obama was and I suspect still is a compulsive liar. Since he is Joe Biden’s mentor how could anyone expect anything else but continual lies from Biden? Furthermore, believing any socialist marxist democrat about anything they say is foolish at best. Who among us cannot see their objective is to fundamentally transform (like Obama promised but failed to accomplish) the United States into a marxist dictatorship with them in total and complete control forever?

    However, their lies have convinced those who still support them it is the conservatives who are out to destroy the constitution and our free enterprise economic system. Nothing could be farther from the truth! Those however with an IQ above single digits know that is a lie. Our Constitutional Representative Republic and free enterprise economic system is by-the-way the best combination ever created by mankind anywhere. The American system has lifted more people out of poverty than any other system of government in the world. Whereas socialism has always failed. Today Americas who are considered poor are, in other countries, among the wealthy. The United States of Americas system of governance is the only system in the world that allows its citizens to be all they can be. It is recognized world wide as the land of opportunity. Why else would there be caravans of ten of thousands of people walk thousands of miles to get a chance to come here. In America all it takes is hard work determination and tenacity. Here everyone constitutionally has the right to pursue happiness. Who, may I ask, would ever want to change that?

    • Who would want to change that?  How about the 2/3rds of the world who have historically looked to rob others of their wealth rather than work to secure their prosperity.  What about the millions who sit on their hands starving while waiting for relief... instead of pulling themselves up and taking the action needed to feed themselves. 

      How about the hundreds of millions who fornicate like rabbits bringing children into the world with no visible means to care for them... and no drive to create a better environment for their children.

      It is the above masses who want to change the American success model... to one that provides success at the expense of others. Some call these individuals freeloaders; others, know them as Democrats and Communists. 

    • That question was not asked “not” knowing there are those who do want to change America. It was asked in the context of how stupid would someone have to be to want that change. However, you are correct in your analogy. There seems to be more and more right here in the United States who are certainly that stupid! These socialist marxist so called democrats prove that daily!
