"Dark Brandon" is driving Biden's campaign merch sales
Won’t it be great when the history books recount how America held off fascism because it memed it away.
67Memes in a way also brought back fascism. Remember when T_D (and some parts of 4chan) started out with Trump for president as a joke?
40I remember back in 2015-16 when his prospects were such a joke. I thought to myself I hope he wins the primary bc it will completely destroy Republican chances.
Well that didn't turn out as we expected.
8Yes and John Oliver begged him to run
7Look what they did to that poor frog!

Considering that the right-wing memed Trump into office, I think it is only fitting that memes are what destroy them
37Yeah I immediately thought of being in school reading about Washington crossing the Delaware and how future generations will read about dark Brandon memes.
2on the other hand, people probably felt the same about news, leaked correspondence, "yellow journalism" (fake news), crowd baiting speeches, pamphlets, flyers, and marches throughout pre-digital media.
4The DNC should release Dark Brandon NFTs to raise money. Like Trump did.

It Could Happen Here had some good coverage on how this is actually happening.

Check out the 3 part DeSantis' Fashwave Adventure episodes that just came out.

Dark Brandon is an effective marketing campaign that pisses MAGA off and is just stupid fun for progressives to promote. It's sort of accurate, Biden off camera is very assertive and at times mean. I would be too if I was President and trying to get things done.
44I feel like old men are just kinda like that, at some point you stop caring if people think you’re rude
21Very common for his era for sure.

He called that random guy 'Fats' on live television during a town hall lol. I would never do that.

I try to not wear advertising of any type. It's a personal thing.
I still love the idea of people pushing back on the Trump merch with something that tweaks the MAGA hats back.
27We saw a trump style flag the other day. But it said Taylor Swift.
That's the only kind of merch I'm going to buy.
17I love the stickers on the site

now my president has to be trending? remember when they spell potato with an e and that was a big deal?
16having that on a shirt might sell pretty well though - might be an untapped market.

It is kind of perfect for their goal to make him seem younger and more energetic, and it makes him the impetus of his own actions instead of being "controlled by the far left" as opponents claim.
15$22 for a coffee mug.
4Probably $2 for the mug, $20 toward the campaign.
