Going With Brandon

WITHIN TWO BLOCKS of my house in American tiny town south is a tire shop. Its a shabby white building housing, as far as I can tell, a tire repair business, and nothing else. I've had a coupla flats fixed there. They do a good job. In this tiny town, the tire shop is, amazingly, one of the hot social spots in town. It seems like more days than not a handful, often five or six, good old boys gather together there, and sit around, talking and doing nothing. Nice guys, country blue collar, strictly working class. And, they are right wing extremists. Christians, I don't know, but, my best guess is, very probably. Every time Trmp runs for president, the gravel dusty parking lot next to the busy tow lane highway bust out in a plethora of Trump campaign signs, and, sometimes, an anti-democrat sign. But, Trump, first and foremost. Sometimes a "Save America vote Trump" sign shows up. I fully expect the Trump signs to start coming out fairly soon, certainly within a few months, probably within a few weeks. I somehow psychically sensed that they were quite perturbed by Trump's election loss to Biden, sufficiently angered to totally buy in to Trump's big election lie, like so many other tens of millions of misguided Americans. Since I believe early in Biden's term, a single large sign has been hanging prominently from the ten foot chain link fence that surrounds the building. On it, in big letters, it says "Let's Go Brandon". "Brandon", I believe and assume, refers to Biden. Unless I am dreaming, in recent times in America the name "Karen" has been adopted by many brilliant people to refer to stupid women, and the name "Brandon" has been assigned to represent stupid men. Go figure. American culture in action. American exceptionalism, intellectually. It seems that the people least qualified by education to change or add to the English language are the most inclined to change it by trying to add to it. It is what it is, as the brilliant people like to say. Let's go Brandon. Derisively encouraging Biden, like encouraging a stupid person who needs help. A real put down, a real powerful insult aimed at Biden. What a horrible thing to say! The question is: is that the best they can do? Is that their idea of a good, stinging, effective, clever, funny insult? If it is, then the Trump movement is in trouble, deep trouble. They have nothing better. No facts, only name calling on a grade school level. Let's go Brandon. Meanwhile, over on Brandon's side, I keep telling democrats, progressives, Trump haters that it is no longer necesssary to call Trump names, as if it ever was, and really, not even necessary to insult Trump with facts. Indeed, the bare facts themselves are a powerful insult against Trump. Powerful, but no longer necessary. Every day, with every word he speaks, Doanld Trump clearly reveals himself, who he really is, far better and beyond my ability, or anyone else's ability to do. Trump reveals and insults himeself when he speaks, and the facts themselves not only insult, but condemn him. But just in case you feel an irresistable urge to put up a sign insulting Trump with facts rather than stupid names; try: "Trump-91 felonies". Or maybe: "Trump Insurrection 2024"...How about "Lock Don Up"? Or "Windmill Cancer Trump"... Well,you get the idea. All I know is,in a strange, Schadefreuden kind of way, I personally am really looking forward to the advertising part of the 2024 presidential campaign.
