This is reverse psychology, par excellence. I love this. Meidas Touch put together a Let’s Go Brandon ad and Fox News is running it. The MAGAs are going to be tearing their hair out in confusion. Or maybe not. Maybe they’ll sit there in a stupor thinking that all the good things Biden has accomplished don’t matter and are negated by the chanting of the silly little slogan.

This is very clever but Rupert Murdoch is having the last laugh.

I can’t wait to see some reviews on this and see if I’m shamelessly cynical or if this is how it appears to others as well.

In pre-revolutionary days the Brits called Americans “Yankee Doodles.” We embraced it. That’s one way to diffuse insult, to not only embrace it but to co-opt it and use it for your own purposes.

I’m not the least bit surprised that Fox News is running this because in all truth, I think it will go over the heads of their viewers and they know that. So Rupert Murdoch has his cake and eats it, too. He gives the libs a good laugh and he takes their money and he doesn’t offend the Fox viewers and he takes their money. You gotta hand it to the man, he hasn’t exactly gone broke underestimating the taste or overestimating the intelligence of the American public.

I follow these peoples’ thinking but I still think I’m right. Murdoch is the winner here, not us.

  1. Here’s one I hope they think of. Show (in real time) footage of Trump inching his way along the “Ramp of Death” at West Point, then after that stupid Let’s Go Brandon chant show Biden trotting on the same fucking ramp! Depending on time constraints, they might even show Trump slowly and laboriously moving along the slightly inclined walkway that leads to the Rose Garden, and again after the chant show Biden trotting along the same passageway! It would make Trump smash all kinds of stuff down there at Smarm A Lago.

  2. I think you’re right, Murdoch is the big winner here. But it can’t hurt to try and bust some of that media bubble w/the truth. The Meiselas brothers are pretty good marketers and have a better track record w/their ads than some others (Lincoln Project, I’m looking at you).

  3. Well all you have to do is watch the clip where the father said let’s go Brandon. Joe came right back with yeah that’s right, let’s go Brandon. In a clear strong voice he nailed it. Guy on the phone didn’t know what to do. That one wasn’t senile crap.
