Biden campaign joins Trump’s Truth Social platform
The Biden campaign Monday joined Truth Social, the platform founded by former President Trump, pushing its message on a platform largely dominated by the former president and his followers. “…
You're viewing a single thread.
“A thing about campaigns is sometimes you just do things for the lolz,” Rob Flaherty, a deputy Biden campaign manager, wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, of the decision to join Truth Social.
This guy knows what's up.
Rob is right around my age and the millennial influence is obvious. The progressive millennials have always ran circles around their foolish republican counterparts. The memery and clowning on silly republican bullshit is effortless. When it comes to social media the right loses every time.
No clearer evidence of that then let’s go Brandon. A true honest to god meme that the right got handed naturally. They lost their shit and beat it to death. I literally saw some loser in head to toe let’s go Brandon clothes.
Of course it got co-opted into Dark Brandon and they ended up only improving bidens image.
I hate that we even have to talk about political meme strategies but here we are. And there’s no one better than the dead inside chronically suicidal for the lulz millennials to lead the change.
Let them clown on the right. They deserve it.
The Brandon chant is proof that the right can't meme. The left literally out-memed their boomer humor at their own game. Lol
I agree, but the right really isn’t good at processing humor or art. In their minds Let’s Go Brandon is still the epitome of satire. It’s playing chess with a pigeon.
These are the same people that think attack helicopter is hilarious.
Saw some douche in a pickup with a Let's Go Brandon banner on the rear window yesterday, It was accompanied by a chromed plastic 'FJB Edition' badge on the tailgate. Classy.
Saw someone with a Proud Boys decal on the back window. Took everything I had not to call the FBI tipline going 75 down the highway.
I live in the heartland of the south and see trumped out cars everywhere. I’ve seen people with q anon stickers. One guy had like 15 ‘extreme maga’ magnetic decals just sort of slapped on the vehicle all around. Like what the fuck is even that. Even if you are convinced d trump is the savior that’s just.. unhinged behavior.
It’s such a perfect litmus of who is an idiot and who isn’t. If your dumbass took the time to slap a q anon sticker on your truck and keep it there all this time, you are extra Fucking special.
Not that they were all that hard to spot before, but I am grateful they basically announce their stupidity to those around them.
Unfortunately we have a Republican population here, so there are Trumpers about, but for the most part you can’t pick them out unless they start talking to you… but there’s this one lifted pickup truck with huge tires, decorated in Trump decals and flying multiple Trump flags, and most of the time when you see it, they’re hootin and hollerin about something that’s just different than what’s usual around here. It’s just the weirdest thing to see, people will stop and stare at it as it goes by and then will be frozen in place looking at each other for a few moments after it’s gone.
Political memes are nothing new. "I like Ike" is as much a meme as dark Brandon.
TIL!
The advertisement's memorable jingle turned "Ike for President" into a popular catchphrase; its final line was described by Paul Christiansen as a "party-transcending appeal to voters".[1] Adlai Stevenson II, Eisenhower's opponent, felt that the ad trivialized serious political issues and referred to it as the worst thing he ever heard. Eisenhower's organization planned to broadcast the advertisement five to six times every night during the final two weeks of the campaign in a few targeted areas. Eisenhower won the election in a landslide, though his campaign's advertising expert thought the ad made little difference. Time magazine later ranked "Ike for President" eighth in its list of the top ten campaign advertisements

It goes even further back then that with "Tippecanoe and Tyler too". If I'm not mistaken, that was the first campaign slogan. "Tippecanoe" being William Henry Harrison.
Holy shit, he really did say that.
They're about to start bringing Dark Brandon back!
Dark Brandon is the profile picture they used.
Dank Brandon
He has to do the weed thing, then he gets to be Dank Brandon.
