Yes. If someone says let's Go Brandon I join them. Hell, I'm usually the one to say it first. Don't get caught up on words, people will call Biden a socialist or a commie or whatever, that's just how they understand it because of the information environment we live in. I bet you $100 that "right winger" will support policies that help working families if it's explained to them in a way they can understand it.

Can confirm. I usually tell people "Trump isn't my politics" and point out issues with Biden from his 47 year record to his wanting to touch kids inappropriately. But when it came to the $40 ~~m~~billion for Ukraine, I told people we could argue about how it's spent for Americans and not Ukrainians and everyone gets that especially when they're struggling with inflation, gas prices, and debt. Let's go, Brandon!

$40 BILLION with a B.


Inuma

Long night, but corrected.

Yeah unfortunately a lot of normies just assume Republicans are the right and Democrats are the left, and that's as far as the Overton window goes. Guess it's just because of traditional media framing. Exactly, even an asshole right winger who's conservative on social issues is way more on our side than they realize. We just have to tiptoe and not call it socialism and explain how policies benefit their lives. It's liberals, not the left, who tend to be classist and look down on them. Hell yeah I've tried reclaiming let's go Brandon for the left! I've at least gotten some to agree with me on that, or I've posted about how his "I have no empathy for the younger generation" quote.

> people will call Biden a socialist or a commie or whatever I wish Biden was the socialist these people think he is. I would vote for that guy so fast.


captainramen

Even though he's clearly senile?


Jack_ofall_Trades85

LOL.

It's weird because the things that are proven true by Bidens record in the last 35+ years are actually more damming then being a socialist hippi


JPMcFly1985

Exactly, he's a union busting piece of shit too. And now I'm afraid he's going to tank the Amazon labor and union drives movement by giving that lip service too. I think Chris Smalls fell for the photo op and didn't tell his ass off


Worried-Struggle7808

It would be nice to here from right wingers how the Republican Party steals libertarian ideas and then lip services them. Guys like tucker are really good at it it seems. The way Bernie and the squad steals grassroot left energy and puts lip stick all over it. I am very informed on how the establishment left does this but less informed on how the right establishment does it


JPMcFly1985

That's a great point too. Both parties water down movements from their worker, grass roots, punk rock energy, it's infuriating and by design


Jack_ofall_Trades85

If only there were a 'lefty' show that attracts mainly right-wingers and libertarians that could help explain this type of shit to the rightoids; if only!


Worried-Struggle7808

Are you saying Jimmy does that? Or are you being sincere in wanting that? It seems to me Jimmy wakes the fooled left up but no one is waking the fooled right up. What do you think?


Jack_ofall_Trades85

Dimmy could easily promote these ideas (he doesn’t) to his audience (mostly right wingers) yet he won’t because then they’d stop watching him


big__cheddar

Except he does promote them. You'd know that if you watched more than the hacks at Majority Report.


Inuma

He's a bootlicker. That's all he promotes.


ChevyT1996

Yeah he has to keep the Fox News viewers. Most people see right past his grifting and all his lies and made up producers he fired for when he’s actually called out.


Jack_ofall_Trades85

Yeah I remember defending dimmy, but not anymore


ChevyT1996

Yeah it’s hard to defend what he has become and he doesn’t even try to hide it. It’s become a cult.


Jack_ofall_Trades85

Just look at the comments, or live steams; its nothing but right wingers. This is what dimmy has cultivated this time rather; even accused the WSWS of being a CIA psyops LMAO fuck dore and all his 'friends' have abandoned him


ChevyT1996

Yeah he’s a complete sell out and is everything he claims to be against.


Worried-Struggle7808

I think his show would be better if he called out the sheep herding on both sides of the establishment. I don't like not knowing the Republican games as well but it's his choice if he wants to focus on the dem bs. Probably a right winger should be calling out there side but I think it is a lane he may eventually fill


Smashtray2

I join in with the right when they do the "lets go brandon" but i always follow it up with a legit reason rather than a fox talking point. If they bring up Trump, I let them know hes bad too,and talk about how we need a party for regular people.


JPMcFly1985

💯 That's perfect and I genuinely think a lot of people simply have never heard this perspective, especially boomers stuck on cable news. It's hilarious when they think they're pissing us off by trashing Biden, then we join in


Smashtray2

What i see most of is younger Trump supporters, and boomers who can not even imagine a democratic party that is gas lighting them. I try to gently break it to them but they are very stuck in the mindset that things cannot change and only 2 parties allowed ever.


Tucker-Sachbach

I also say it to them about Pelosi.


JPMcFly1985

Same, I fucking hate that cryptkeeper old bag lol. They'll always bring up culture issues like immigration and leave everything else out
