On May 21st, 2021, Twitter user ne0liberal tweeted three illustrations from Chinese WeiBo artist Yang Quan depicting Joe Biden as a warlord or king with glowing eyes. The background of Biden's speech was dark and red, resurfacing Dark Brandon memes and discourse.
In late 2022, Joe Biden addressed the nation during a primetime slot to talk about what he deemed extremist "MAGA forces" in the country as the November midterm elections were inching closer. However, this claim is currently unfounded. The memes often feature deep-fried imagery and laser eyeballs borrowed from Dark MAGA, as well as many of Biden's most meme-worthy catchphrases such as "Marlarkey" and "Listen here, Jack." Many of the original Dark Brandon image macros were created by a Chinese WeiBo artist named Yang Quan and were labeled as propaganda. The trend started in early 2022 on Twitter and in its original usage, Dark Brandon was highly ironic, with the memes mostly joking about Biden's perceived senility and inability to act in the forceful, dramatic ways depicted in Dark Brandon memes.Īs the meme trend evolved through August 2022, however, it increasingly expressed an unironic appreciation of Joe Biden and the accomplishments of his administration. The memes appropriate DarkMAGA imagery originally used by rightwing posters to depict Donald Trump as well as the Let's Go Brandon catchphrase used by conservatives to mock Biden and the media.
