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.
It’s actually a mashup of (at least) two memes. As mentioned, the name “Brandon” comes from a NASCAR event that spawned the phrase “Let’s go Brandon” as a euphemism for “Fuck Joe Biden”, so critics began calling Biden “Brandon” in reference.
The “Dark” part came from a series of conservative/MAGA memes from last year, where commenters began to propose that Trump and his allies had been holding themselves back rather than acting as aggressively as they should’ve, and this vision for the future was called “Dark MAGA”, and used a lot of overdramatic anime imagery of Trump as a violent despot serving up the justice his enemies deserved.
“Dark Brandon” emerged as a parody of it, because the idea of Biden as a powerful and ruthless mastermind is, admittedly hilariously absurd.
