It’s Pokémon Go to the polls level of cringe.
Guess what, when people say lets go Brandon, you can just say fuck Trump. You don’t need cringe coded phrases to show how cool your pick is, they don’t give a shit. You’re not going to convert a Trump voter because you tried to force a dark Brandon meme.
There’s nothing funny or clever about it, it’s just lame and it makes people who say it look like as much of a deranged cultist as a Trump supporter.
The point of it is to mock the fascist talking point. Humor is a powerful weapon.
They’ve already shown that nothing up to and including Trump literally murdering their family members would convert them. Of course a meme isn’t going to, it’s not about that. It’s about taking something they think they’re being clever about and turning it back on them in an actual clever way. If the Dark Brandon memes were started in a void, I might agree with you that they were dumb, but as a reply to the LGB meme, I think they’re excellent.
I mean, humor is subjective, but I gotta say you’re most likely in the minority of people with average or above average intelligence (aka non-Trump voters) with that opinion. To be honest, I checked your post history to see if you were one of them because you are giving off that iq-is-slightly-lower-than-room-temp vibe here.
