What is the ‘Dark Brandon’ meme that has taken the White House by storm?
The Hill via Nexstar Media Wire ^ | Aug 9, 2022 | Sarakshi Rai

(The Hill) – The phrase “Let’s Go Brandon” started off as a dig at President Biden that spread quickly online and became a political slogan adopted by the president’s critics on the right, including former President Trump.

The phrase became popular among Trump’s base after a reporter interviewing NASCAR driver Brandon Brown mistakenly interpreted the crowd’s background chanting of “f— Joe Biden” as “Let’s Go Brandon.”

But recently, the use of the phrase has shown signs of shifting.

The precursors to the “Dark Brandon” meme first started to make the rounds online shortly after Biden was elected, when a Chinese illustrator attempted to make unflattering images of the president, according to Politico.

But on Sunday, some of those images started to gain popularity on Twitter when they were co-opted as part of the more complimentary “Dark Brandon” meme.

Just dumb and not clever at all. Honestly, it seems like the entire administration is stocked with tin-eared imbeciles

Well, they say it’s “taken the White House by storm,” which I can believe. Since it began there and most likely will die out there as well; since these fabricated top-down efforts at Marketing almost always flop. See you at CNN+.

It is pretty stupid to try to turn Biden into soMe kind of virile superhero. Anybody with eyes can see he is a feeble old man and the meme just makes his actual frailties even more stark.

All it means is that the various likenesses of Brandon alternately have blue eyes, brown eyes, yellow eyes, and red eyes. That’s it! What remains the same is that they are all cartoon characters.

Wait a minute. Biden’s wife can’t even get him into his suit coat how the hell is she going to get him into a pair of superhero tights?

They are trying to make it seem like he’s popular. He’s not, he is a total loser.

There is no basis for the meme. They want to create the idea that Brandon is confounding his detractors but they spun it up out of whole cloth and threw it out there. That’s like you going out there and making up a cool nickname for yourself and trying to get others to use it.

Biden’s already a pedo.

Can’t get any darker than that.

I am pretty sure dark Brandon is White House code for Biden crapping himself again.

Dork Brandon is hilarious and the meme has already been co-opted.

We are being told to believe that the democrats champion, who has done so much for the American people to make their lives better, and their country stronger and more financially secure and protect its sovereignty, has suddenly outsmarted the LGBFJB crowd?

Oh, puleeeze!
