It's way more than a meme!
"Let's go Brandon" was #1 on itunes for days. Another version was #3. Another version was #17. All at the same time! Huge swaths of people from from highly diverse backgrounds are unifing against what they see as poor leadership.
They are totally trying to sow FUD into the narrative form political purpose.

iTunes chart positions don't mean nearly as much as they used to, since music consumption has mostly shifted to streaming. It's common for meme songs or songs by artists with devoted fanbases to get to #1 on the iTunes chart, but make a weak showing on the more comprehensive Billboard and Rolling Stone charts, or not even enter those charts.

> And I looked out across all these smiling, white faces and said, you better believe it. We are the swathiest!
You know the artist in question, Bryson Gray, is a black man?
PS. You murdered my usage of the word swath. Congratulations?

That’s pretty good. It sounds like you spend more time watching Trump rallies than you might admit.

It's pretty obvious that they went out and found someone named Brandon to have a photo op with. This was an SEO play.
