offtopic but i just realized i have no idea where this Brandon thing came from, does anyone know?

Let's go brandon is the meme, search that term. It was from some NASCAR event I think

Some NASCAR race, where one of the drivers had the first name Brandon. Trump supporters in the stands were chanting "Fuck Joe Biden". The commentators either misheard or were attempting to not cause a scandal and claimed they were chanting "Let's go Brandon" instead. And so "Let's go Brandon" became code for "Fuck Joe Biden". It's been another 2 or 3 years and it's now morphed to Brandon just replacing Biden in regular sentences.
