Not sure who “he” is...I only heard it because sometimes I step into the echo chamber that is conservative talk radio. Mostly I listen to NPR, which is its own echo chamber for sure, but I at least like to maintain some balance.
NPR is your echo chamber.

Apparently not...it seems to be at a bit of a crescendo.

Since we know what "Let's Go, Brandon" really means, why is it not a slur?

SLUR
Same reason the meaning behind those pink hats worn by the far left that media never had any issues

Both sides do it, as I said (maybe in the other thread) but the pink hats were used as a rallying cry for women's rights (and red hats were a rallying cry for a political movement), not an insult to one man

I believe the pink hats were a direct response to the former president’s own words, when he described his predilections for grabbing women “by the *****.” It wasn’t meant to be an insult; merely a reply to Trump’s own disgusting attitudes towards women - attitudes he has never shied away from or disavowed.

“Let’s go, Brandon,” on the other hand is a stupid, silly “in joke” among tittering schoolboys who think it actually bothers more than a handful of people. The phrase, and the giddy joy of purported grownups who think this kind of middle-school trolling is hilarious shows the mental age of Trump supporters and how wounded they still are that a “senile old man” beat their guy by millions of votes in the presidential election. They can’t possibly understand how, so many still turn to the Big Lie to comfort their bruised egos.

Turns out that owning the libs isn’t a viable political platform in and of itself. The novelty wore off fast, people saw that Trump was a second-rate grifter who was in way over his head, and was a nasty man with 0 class and charm whose favorite presidential past-time was the late night Twitter war. So he lost the presidency over a single term and his supporters - equally bewildered that the vast majority of American voters did not want their favored troglodyte to have a second term - looked for malfeasance, then tried to short-circuit the electoral process by chasing Pence from the Capitol on 1-6-21, and when they could do no more to fight against reality…chose “let’s go, Brandon” as their rallying cry and pretended anyone other than them actually cared.

Many of them still haunt this board, listing all the awful flubs and missteps of Joe Biden, horrified that the American people still prefer what they see as the worst president of all time to his predecessor. The delicious irony in all this is that “Brandon” is president and Trump is not. Almost makes me feel bad for them.

Of course they want to pretend it’s a slur or racist or both. And ban it.

LOL
We all know, or all should know, that FJB is the message, "Let's Go Brandon" was the cover up.

So to that I say FJB!

Painting murals of a very naked Trump with a micropenis is somehow more mature and refined??? How about calling Trump "morbidly obese" as Nasty Pelosi once did? And I didn't know college stadiums were really "far right" rallies in disguise

You're idol wears diapers, just like any infant. Get over yourself. And he is not aware of much of anything, because, you know... "Cognitive decline"... Of course, anyone with a brain knows that means he's senile. The world figured it out. What's your excuse?
