The extraordinary power of ‘Let’s Go Brandon’
American Thinker ^ | Andrea Widberg

Posted on 10/27/2021 3:22:00 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

I never wear clothes with logos on them. However, when I saw that I could buy a “Let’s Go Brandon” t-shirt for only $20, I couldn’t resist. Today, when I went to my local outlet mall and then to Costco, I wore that shirt. I live in the Southeast, in an area with a sizeable Black population and a lot of Democrats. Still, there are conservatives here so I expected some recognition for the shirt. What I didn’t expect was the happiness with which my shirt would be greeted.

At the outlet mall, a young Black woman, maybe in her late 20s, came hurrying up to me. “I love your shirt,” she said. “Where did you get it?” I explained that I’d bought it online. We agreed that its subtlety made it especially appealing. From there, the brief conversation drifted to Ben Shapiro (she’s a big fan, while I’m more of a Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles person) and ended with fond farewells on both our parts.

My next stop was Costco, where the shirt again elicited happy praise, although this time from White people only. A young woman with a small child in her cart told me that she loved my shirt. Two grizzled older men liked it too. When I checked out, the clerk said, “I love your shirt.” She also told me that the gas station she passes on the way to work increased the price of gas by ten cents overnight.

The whole experience was so uplifting that I’m planning to make the shirt my standard garb for shopping. The great thing about it is that it’s not “in your face.”

“Let’s go, camel toe” has a nice ring to it.

I keep wondering if the reporter who helped coin this phrase is still kicking herself.

The left fears this because it’s a way they manipulate the public. The main difference being that their catch phrase, or what not, is always based on a lie or intended to deceive.

This is also why there was such a vicious response to the “pureblood” moniker adopted by the unvaxed.

Make your own Let's Go Brandon FJB bumper sticker at home. Here's how.

Buy a couple of blank magnetic bumper stickers for a few bucks on Ebay. [Nobody wants to put a real sticker on their car's paint job. You don't have to.]

Create something like this on MS Paint or any other similar program. Print it on a sheet of regular paper. Cut it out, just smaller than your magnetic bumper sticker.

Use clear packing tape, starting at the bottom, and overlap 3 strips of tape.

Use enough tape to wrap around the back and over the top, this will make your homemade magnetic bumper sticker rain-proof.

Put on a new message anytime you feel like it.

Would be nice if there was a ‘Doggie’ sweater with that saying. Last year I purchased a bright red sweater with ‘Trump 2020’ on it for my dog. Lib neighbors had that ‘smirk’ on their face as if the dog was going to vote. LOL

Only for not copyrighting it!

She could have made a fortune.

A Freeoer or two have said they have met her and say she is very nice. That was before the incident. She may or may not have said it on instruction from her director but she was in a sort of no win situation. Anyway its out there and well beyond her control now.

Why the left hates the “F Joe Biden” or “Let’s Go Brandon” is that it isn’t “controlled”. They can control the nightly news. They can control the “polling” data. They can control the headlines. When people are in a stadium, mall, park... wherever the chant occurs.. shows everyone the disdain for Biden. People feel empowered when they are in a larger group especially when it comes to public opinion. IMHO.

Not yet, I bought two 2 t-shirts I’ll wear another one today...we’ll see how it goes...

I wear a number of political t-shirts, shirts with a AR-15 on it, the “Don’t Tread On Me” logo, etc....basically passive aggressive....

Other T-shirts I wear, “Who Is John Galt”, 1984 was not supposed to be a instruction manual, When Tyranny Becomes Law, Rebellion becomes Duty a quote from Thomas Jefferson, etc....

I like the quote from the book Animal House, All Animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal than others..

I find most people are afraid to offend anyone, I’m not in your face, just something to provoke though

I have a tee that the entire front is a huge Trump signature. Some people say they love my shirt. When others ask me what it is I tell them it’s code and only special know what it is.
