#DarkBrandon
Biden supporters reclaimed “Let’s Go Brandon” mockery with laser-eyed memes.
Origin & Impact
“Let’s Go Brandon” was conservative code for cursing Biden, but in summer 2022, Biden supporters flipped the script with “Dark Brandon” - portraying Biden as all-powerful figure with laser eyes accomplishing progressive goals. The meme coincided with string of Biden wins: Inflation Reduction Act, student debt relief, strong midterms.
The hashtag represented Democrats learning to troll back with absurdist humor. Dark Brandon memes flooded Twitter after each Biden success, trolling critics. The White House embraced it, posting laser-eyed Biden. It showed how internet culture could be wielded by all sides.
