When President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden spoke with children and NORAD authorities monitoring Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, things went awry. "Let's Go Brandon," a slogan that has become an online phenomenon this year, was stated by a father named Jared Schmeck from Oregon at the end of his family's chat with the Bidens. If anyone believed this joke was going to die soon, Biden breathed new life into it with only two words that followed Schmeck's message: "I agree."

Jokes have a short shelf life in the age of the internet. Typically, these jokes, or memes, disappear from public consciousness as quickly as they emerge, owing to our newly interconnected world's ability for anybody to send a message to millions of others in a moment, effectively placing previous jokes on the back burner. More than that, these internet jokes usually have a single target audience, whether it's a specific age group or a specific community.

In either case, being a part of one of these age ranges or communities opens the doors to the underlying meaning of the joke. Despite this, the joke "Let's Go Brandon" has such a profound significance that it has reached practically every audience in our culture and is so widespread that it appears to the average person to have been created just yesterday.

"Let's Go Brandon" was popularized by NBC News during a post-race interview with Brandon Brown, the winner of the NASCAR Xfinity Series race. Fans could clearly be heard chanting "F--- Joe Biden" throughout this interview.

I feel the word is ridicule rather than humorous as there is no way Biden or cronies can combat this LGB slogan no matter how they try.

It is a perfect way to ridicule, and deliciously using the left's own Alinsky RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” to weaken them.

This is an excellent piece of how Brazil was able to stop Communists in the government to get the most conservative leader in the Americas by never giving any leftist respect. It worked.

The Most Impressive Communist-Crusher You've Never Heard Of
He explained, the key isn't intellectual debate; "it's about destroying the career and power of these people. It's very important not to respect them."

In a lecture, he laid out the necessary tactics to beat the radical left. It's basically just holding them accountable for their own deviant behavior:
