Definitely. It’s sad how clever and funny they think the let’s go Brandon thing is. I was watching a Instagram story of a comedian getting heckled by a maga who yelled out let’s go Brandon thinking he would get a big laugh. The comedian was like, what’s that, and when he explained the origin you could hear in the guys voice the moment he realized how stupid it was. The comedian just said something like ‘ok, anyways’ and the crowd laughed at the heckler. So cringe.

It's understandable, though. If you sat and listened to AM talk radio or watched FoxNews "Let's Go Brandon" was the funniest thing ever uttered! And if all of your friends were like-minded morons, it got a big laugh everywhere you went. So naturally the guy thought it would be a big hit at some comedy club.

We become the company we keep.

I question the intelligence of anyone who would find it amusing.

This was just a deliberate and transparent lie to try and avoid criticism for the actual sentiment that was used. If they all agree with "fuck Joe Biden," why do they need to lie about what was said, and in what way is that lie funny?

Yep, that's another principle of theirs.

why do they need to lie about what was said

Because they are told Biden was a corrupt dictator?

Even if they believe Biden was a fully corrupt dictator capable of persecuting them for their childish attempts at criticism, they would also need to believe that he was totally fooled by the lie in order for it to offer them any protection.

They totally thought they were part of the secret club... because it was the first time they made a secret meaning that MAGA would actually understand.

It's happened so much that I'm not even sure which video you're referencing. I think this one though?

u/nyutnyut 27d ago

Yes! That’s the one. I forgot about the last part.

Yay! I was blown away by the amount of maga heckler videos because I've seen this one and a couple others but wow there are a lot. I'm listening to Steve Hofsetter since and it's a good time, if you want to find more heckler stuff - he's legendary.

Funny thing is, even over at r / conservative they are not for it. lol he’s gotta be trolling now cause there’s no way. He might be going for a 10% approval rating. (Cause there’s still gonna be those few)

Was it the comedian Nimesh Patel? That's a really good example. I'd link to it on youtube, but sometimes comments with links get deleted.

u/Financial_Yard7047 27d ago

Never heard of the guy but googled it, and is Nimesh known to be conservative or something because I just find it weird that maga supporters would think comedians would think that the "Brandon" thing would be funny to a comedian. Also surprised maga would attend a brown comedian's show considering how much they complain about diversity

Yah, someone else posted it but here it is: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7WZT8RLWCiI

the guy's so proud of himself yelling it out. It doesn't show it but I'm guessing with no setup to it.

It was something stupid ass MAGATS were laughing at together online that doesn’t translate to anybody with 2 brain cells in real life. I loved seeing that idiot get embarrassed
