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.”

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

LOL, I know you meant Animal Farm. The quote from Animal House is "Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son".

“which will accomplish nothing”
So what if the leftist idiots don’t get it or dismiss it?
The point is we have to let them know we are out there, and we won’t be subdued.

It is still fun to have fun with each other as well as message where you stand in this cancel culture.

In last night’s first game of the World Series an Astros fan was poking disdain, not at Atlanta, but at the media with his sarcastic sign, “The Chop is Racist.”

It cracked me up. Conservatives have something the left lost a long time ago- a sense of humor.

Yep, lots of good lines. I was in college when it came out.

You’re deadass wrong. I live in one of the bluest states, Washington and that phrase makes all the liberals in my area want to kill. I’ve had more fun on the local Sunset and Beyond neighborhood website poking the liberals with that phrase and it’s amazing how they react.

Take it and run until the next item they hate comes around then poke the Hell out of them with that too. They are bullies and can’t stand any pushback even as mild as LET’S GO BRANDON!

Once again you’re wrong. Try meeting educated people. You clearly are educated beyond your capabilities and common sense…or not. Hahaha, it must really suck being you.

My band played saturday night, so Istopped by the local Pilot for a slice of theirnasty pizza. Yeah I kmow but it was late and I didn’t wanna cook at midnight..

Let’s Go Brandon sticker on the door just above and to the right of the handle, about the size of a playing card but square.

I got a Make America Great againcap in 2016, camo with the MAGA embroidered in gold. I’ve gotten quite a few positive comments about it when I wear it in town, and I plan to start again soon as it cools down a little more. Its not a mesh top summer cap...

The only negative I remember is a girl at the register of a grocery store, I paid for whatever it was I bought, some sort of munchies, and asked where their restroom was...the go to hell look Igot was unmistakable...and I grinned all the way to the bathroom...even a checker at wally world about 25 years old told me she liked my MAGA cap...

At the outlet mall, a young black woman, maybe in her late 20s, came hurrying up to me.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I would have immediately prepared mentally and bodily for the worst case scenario and it would be because she’s black.

I haven’t always thought that way but events in the past 20 years or so have taught me to. One big event was 0bama.

Hate to rain on this thread’s parade, but protesting the public schools, as those students did in Loudoun County, will do far more to save the USA than mouthing cryptic slogans about a guy named Brandon.

Animal Farm.

Animal House was “Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?” “Forget it, he’s on a roll”.

I freely admitted the mistake earlier and chalked it up to my typing and lack of proof reading

Printed that off and put it on Card grade paper stock and have 3 now taped to my dirty gas guzzling SUV windows.

Sorry - I wasn’t piling on, just trying to keep the joke going.

The tendency to beat the dead horse is strong with this one.
