    No they weren’t no one gives a fuck if you swear. Maga people started saying it because of that news reporter at a nascar* (I believe) event. The crowd was chanting fuck joe Biden and she misheard it and it went viral.

      It went viral because conservatives believe that it’s a great example of how liberals will just make something like this up and run with it because they’re used to using their media dominance to control any narrative in any way they want (reinforcing a narrative started by Limbaugh 37 years ago).

      In reality, this woman really wasn’t paying attention and made a mistake.

      So yet again, conservatives believe what they want to be true. As we all know that’s how reality works, right? So I’m just sitting here waiting to see how and when it breaks down. It’s been almost 10 years now of it absolutely working for them in every possible way. It’s kind of fascinating and unbelievable really that you can get as far as destroying the country completely just on faith and vapors, but here we are.

      I really doubt she misheard it, the whole stadium was chanting it, she just couldn’t repeat “fuck joe biden” on the news when they asked what they were chanting.

        Naw our brains do that shit all the time - you don’t hear someone quite right, and instead of recognizing that you didn’t get the info, your noggin just fills in the blanks on its own. She very well may have clearly heard “Let’s go Brandon!”

        Perception is reality.
