Can someone explain Dark Brandon for us non-Americans who don't know?

[–] popcap200@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (14 children)

Well conservatives were Chanting "Fuck Joe Biden" and the news presenter said they were saying "let's go Brandon" which because a big meme for conservatives. Liberals put glowing red eyes on Biden and called him Dark Brandon.

That's... a much more bizarre story than I was expecting. Says a lot about the integrity of the MSM too. Oh well. Thanks for explaining!

Wait... What does that say about MSM?

Because one reporter next to a (notoriously) loud NASCAR race misheard what a crowd was chanting? Because the reporter didn't say "fucking" on TV?

because they’re making this a story.

seems like youre being intentionally obtuse to pick a fight.

Wait... Where did MSM make a story out of it?

That was my impression too. Inevitable in any online discussion about politics, whatever the country.
