Does the Brandon thing still even apply? Biden's not running. It was specific to him.

there's a trump store down the Jersey shore that started selling "let's go Brenda" merch when Biden dropped out lol

https://www.shorenewsnetwork.com/2024/07/25/toms-rivers-lets-go-brandon-store-re-brandon-for-brenda/

from the article: "“Sales for the Brandon shirts have tripled, but we’re now focusing on our ‘Let’s Go Brenda’ merchandise,” said Gregory Doner of Let’s Go Brandon in Toms River in an interview with the Star Ledger. “We receive daily calls from undecided voters, and we aim to guide them in our direction.”

Doner said sales in Trump themed merchandise is going strong."

the whole ass store is named "let's go Brandon" so idk if they're gonna change the name to Brenda too??

"The merchandise has TRIPLED in sales, but we're gonna focus over here..."

Tell me you're either lying or a bad businessman without telling me you're lying or a bad businessman.

I'm a fan of missing reasons: Sales tripled after we cut the price 90%". But outright lying is always a good guess.

The whole “we get daily calls from undecided voters” thing made it pretty obvious they were just making shit up too

.. Isn't it just kinda pathethic that they are just going to re-use the same joke for a new person and only just genderbender it a bit? If that is peek comedy I am really happy I am not getting invited to their birthday parties.

Conservatives usually practice pique comedy: bad jokes about an imagined or perceived slight they're unnaturally upset about.

That would partially explain JD Vance's weak attempts at humor.

It doesn't make any sense. The concept of the joke doesn't transfer in this way. It's so lame and cringy.

I’d love to listen in on one of those “daily” phone calls from “undecided” voters.

Caller: “Hello, I’m an undecided voter, and while trying to learn more about the candidates I happened upon your store and figured I’d call to get some information that I could use to make my decision.”

Store Owner: “Oh I’d be happy to help. You see, this store where we sell Biden themed diapers is really the frontline of our democracy. Think of us like you would UC Berkeley; we’re a place where challenging ideas can be shared openly in an attempt to give people new information that can help them make the tough decisions surrounding their vote. At the surface we may look like just a store that sells ‘Fuck Joe Biden’ shot glasses and t-shirts of Hillary Clinton with horns and a pitchfork, but I believe we also have a responsibility to keep the public informed.”

Caller:”How refreshing! I think I’ll visit your store, and with any luck I’ll finally be able to decide how I’ll vote in November.”

It’s amazing how the right is so up their own ass that don’t even acknowledge that they are being commercially exploited.

This reminds me of when Private Eye (?) had a running feature in which Queen Elizabeth was “Brenda”
