Can someone explain Dark Brandon for us non-Americans who don't know?
Well conservatives were Chanting "Fuck Joe Biden" and the news presenter said they were saying "let's go Brandon" which because a big meme for conservatives. Liberals put glowing red eyes on Biden and called him Dark Brandon.
I believe this sparked the dark brandon name. Originally made by a propagandist cartoonist to make Biden look evil, the left memed it because he's an old man so the juxtaposition is funny, then libs just adopted it as a cool way to brand Biden
It's funny because they try to hate but they just end up making him look badass instead
I think that's partially a cultural difference. The original artist is Chinese and being a murderous warlord is seen as sexier in the USA than in China
I could be wrong
