If you’ve heard of Loudoun County in the past year, you can thank Hamilton, Virginia, resident Brandon Michon.
Rarely mentioned in the national media, other than in surveys of the wealthiest counties in the country, the liberal-leaning Washington, D.C., exurb became the symbol for parents fighting against COVID-19 mandates, school closures, and critical race theory last year.
“I was the lightning rod for that,” said Michon.
It was during the early evening of Jan. 26, 2021, when Michon and his family, dressed in winter coats, stepped in front of the Loudoun County School Board in Ashburn, Virginia, to ask that schools be opened. Duke, then 8 and in third grade, said: “I don’t want to do any more distance learning anymore. I wish I could learn from my teacher without my 2-year-old brother trying to sit with me or touch my keyboard.”
He opened with, “You should all be fired from your day jobs because if your employers knew that you were more inefficient than the DMV, you would be replaced in a heartbeat.”
As he got louder, Michon shouted, “You’re a bunch of cowards and hiding behind our children as an excuse for keeping schools closed.” He ended with four words that have been hashtagged ever since, “Raise the friggin’ bar.”

So was “Free Angela!” (Davis)
Soon to be banned as hate speech.
Less ambiguity that way :)
Just yell FUB! LGB sounds too gay.
The whole thing is Gay. What is this a college football game?
The guy sucks. We get it.
Sucks the election was stolen from Trump, but that’s what happened. History is replete with such instances of power grabs.
I’ll continue to move forward, as this will pass. It always does.
Trump 2024👍
Yeppers.
When I'm volunteering for remodeling work in my church, I can't have a toolbox with a FJB sticker. I got lots of approving comments on my LGB sticker which is prominently located on my toolbox.
Hmmm - seems they know what FUB means. A bit of hypocrisy there? Sounds like censorship, but then, it’s their church. Just tell them that FUB means: Free Ukraine from Bombings or something something.
Like your tag line.
I’m a Product Designer. I design for manufacture Exterior & Interiors for the major OEM’s, and lately “Start Up” EV projects.
I make the vehicle sexy. Otherwise it’s just a go cart with a performance engine. 👍😉
LOL!
Is it hypocrisy to know a phrase from the culture but not use it yourself? A person can be innocent of sin but not necessarily naive of it.
Perhaps my Let's Go Brandon sticker pushes the hypocrisy boundary. Like people who use the word "fricking" in place of a more vulgar term. However, the LGB sticker has that whole inside joke aspect to it based on that origin of the phrase. Most Christians that I know are aware of the origin of the phrase.
