The phrase "Let's go Brandon" has swept across the United States. Ever since NBC reporter Kelli Stavast "misheard" NASCAR fans chanting "F--- Joe Biden," college students, internet memes, and millions of Americans have made it their rallying cry.
But "Let's go Brandon" is a perfect symbol for the lies being told in this country. Case in point: Southwest Airlines. While Southwest continues to cancel thousands of flights, the talking heads tell us it's a disruption caused by weather, glitches in their computer system, and any other excuse they can think of besides vaccine mandates.
"Let's go Brandon" is the media and the elites telling us one thing despite everyone knowing it's not true.
-COVID-19 was definitely not created in a lab. Let's go Brandon.
-Hospitals are not short staffed because of the vaccine mandate. Let's go Brandon.
-The evacuation of Afghanistan was a success. Let's go Brandon.
-There is no crisis at our southern border. Let's go Brandon.
-Teachers' unions care about our kids. Let's go Brandon. Natural immunity doesn't have as much success as the vaccine. Let's go Brandon
-Rising prices due to inflation and supply chain issues are not a problem. Let's go Brandon.

Well done, Mom and Dad!
“Atlas Shrugged” was a work of fiction which included the phrase “Who is John Galt?” which, in the novel, swept the nation and became a symbol of hopelessness in the face of an out-of-control government. Of course, it wasn’t true hopelessness because once people realized what it really meant, they knew they had the power to remove themselves from the system and “go Galt” by not participating.
For us, I think “Let’s Go Brandon” serves a similar function. We recognize that we are repressed and not able to speak the truth. But we realize what the phrase really means and we know that we do have the power to speak the truth. We’re on to them.
Now THAT’S funny!
I expect that a piece of scholarly word salad will be published soon, explaining how saying “let’s go Brandon” is actually racist, sexist, homophobic and anti-democratic. As bad as wearing a MAGA hat, maybe worse. After that, people could be arrested on hate crime charges for saying it.
Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small.
In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better.
When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity.
To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.

LOL! Cucked.

I’ve had to explain it to several people this past week, including one who should have known what it meant.

Yep. Replace with “You Go Shaniqua!”
Some of the snowflakes will chant this, now knowing what it means. I predict this weekend we will see/hear it even more.

Years from now people will wonder:
<><>how society was enslaved by a minority,
<><> how a privileged people would surrender and give up their own mother at the first sign of an attack,
<><> how leftwing con man George Soros could use his billions to undermine American institutions and beliefs,
<><>How a 13 percent Afro-American minority got a 50 percent share in Hollywood movies and TV commercials,
<><>How a tiny Hollywood minority was permitted to depict Christianity as a malevolent, predatory force,
<><> why we allowed the predominant viewpoint on college campuses that everything is the fault of white men.
The ancient Greeks had Socrates drink poison for infinitely less.
Democrats are supremely stupid and they’re running scared:
<><> the urgency displayed to deliver Bidens trillions shows Democrats’ fortunes taking a bleak turn
<><> 2022 midterms loom
<><> their schtick is childcare, climate, universal pre-k, asst giveaways to buy votes,
<><> not the border crisis, inflation crisis, supply chain crisis, fuel shortage crisis, or any of the other crises Biden has created.
I looked last week. There were 5 or 6 different LGB bumper stickers for sale on EBAY and Amazon.
Not everyone pays attention to popular jingoism.
Many of us use real sentences and depth of principle.
Maybe it’s Greek to some,
Molon labe, or Latin, e tu brutis? Texan, remember the Alamo.
But NASCAR?
