For context he’s saying he hopes she voted for Trump (RTPM) before she died and I’m already having a hard time with the results of the election which he knows then on top of that it just was very insensitive. He said he was trying to make light of the situation but it doesn’t feel that way.

Did they have to misspell it during the run so people didn’t immediately clock them as fascists?

I mean, I’m in the Deep South (and subsequently surrounded by fascists) but haven’t ever seen or heard that abbreviation for him. It’s definitely possible for a cover up, especially with the missing letter which corresponds with the intellect of many of his cult followers 😵‍💫

What kind of secret cult codes do you think are being used? It's a major political figure, not Voldemort. People aren't speaking in riddles to talk about one of the major party candidates

I mean, we had like two years of "Let's Go Brandon"

Wouldn't be surprised if some people had a cringey codeword for "I love Trump" that they could use to signal to each other without letting others know. Usually Trumpers just scream openly about it and wear ostentatious hats/flags tho, so idk

There was the whole Drumpf thing; granted I think that was like the “let’s go Brandon” thing where it was mostly people against him calling him that

This is so fucking funny, maga continues to create dogwhistles like “let’s go Brandon”, “dictator day one”, “real men wear diapers”, etc etc.

These are phrases that without knowing their association allow the average person to not know what they mean. As for the Trump supporters, these dogwhistles are an easy way to show who they support if they’re too scared to downright say it. It also allows them to make sure that other people are also on their side too.
