Anti-Biden 'Let's Go Brandon' flags have become as conspicuous as Confederate flags once were at NASCAR races

AUSTIN — Confederate flags were banned from NASCAR events in June 2020, and some fans have seemingly started to get behind a new pennant — one that is unabashedly mixing politics and sports.

At this weekend's NASCAR race at the Circuit of the Americas outside Austin, a walk through the car and RV parking lots revealed how effective NASCAR's ban on Confederate flags has been. Among the vehicles for the estimated 70,000 fans, not a single Confederate battle flag or any other flag representing the South's fight during the Civil War was spotted.

But one banner that was conspicuously popular appeared to be the anti-Joe Biden "Let's Go Brandon" flags.

Several fans were also seen wearing "Let's Go Brandon" t-shirts inside the track.

"Let's Go Brandon" has become an anti-Biden rallying cry that originated at a NASCAR Xfinity Series race in October 2021, when Brandon Brown was interviewed following his win at Talladega Speedway in Alabama. The crowd began to chant, "F*** Joe Biden," but the interviewer, mishearing the cheering, believed the fans were yelling, "Let's Go Brandon." The clip of that exchange went viral, and the misunderstanding quickly became a euphemism among people who disapprove of Biden.

The popularity of "Let's Go Brandon" flags has not been limited to this one race in Texas either. The flags have been photographed at the NASCAR championship race outside Phoenix Raceway in November, as well as outside the Daytona 500 earlier this year.

The show of anti-Biden flags does suggest that NASCAR fans seem unafraid to make a political statement.

I’ve seen stickers of BiteMe pointing to the gas price on the pumps.

In many places in my area,, someone is writing “Biden Su—s” near and on traffic signs. Some Biden supporter doctored it to read “Biden Succeeds” and a short time later it was reworded as originally written. During or just after the 2020 election, someone, maybe the same someone or someones were pasting “Biden Crime Family” stickers below the word STOP on traffic signs.

Has anyone ever seen a BuildBackBetter baseball cap?

They don't wear caps, they wear face masks.

I gave a few to a friend of mine who asked where I got them.

I told them they were %8.50 for 100 stickers at Amazon. Then I said with Biden’s inflation, the stickers just went up to $10.50

The man in the White House has a disgusting son. It is absolutely unbelievable that the MSM covers for the White House occupant and his sicko offspring. MSM needs to go! Bankrupt them anyway possible.

“Pumps”

Actually, they are dispensers, and most stations use underground pumps. In some, they do uses suction pumps, but even those would be inside the housing of the dispenser. No customers have access to either form of the gas pump but they do interact with the gas dispenser.

“ I wouldn’t believe anything written by a Qtard”

You don’t have to. It’s true whether you believe it or not.
