Rubber and glue, meet ‘Brandon’ and the GOP

Regarding the Nov. 17 news article “Expletive-masking ‘Let’s go Brandon’ slogan unites GOP”:

“Let’s go Brandon” does not mean “I oppose President Biden’s politics,” nor does it mean “Joe Biden spends on roads and bridges, but I prefer them crumbling and rusting,” nor even “Biden stole the election.” It means “Look, here I am, dropping the f-bomb on the president of the United States in code. Ain’t I clever?”

As this piece of vulgar middle-school wit is embraced by the Republican establishment, I feel nostalgic for the time the GOP had meaningful policy proposals, or at least pretended to care about decency and family values.
