They\u2019ve gone viral online.<br \/>\nAnd it\u2019s cheap and easy.\u00a0A 100-pack of the stickers is going for just six bucks on Amazon. You might see the derisive stickers up in New Hampshire, the swing state Biden is set to visit on Tuesday to promote his $1.2 trillion infrastructure package that just passed Congress.<\/p>\n<p>The Democratic president may not get the overwhelmingly positive reception he was hoping for, though.<\/p>\n<p>New Hampshire is a blue state that\u2019s in danger of going red in the 2022 mid-term election and, like the colorful leaves that fall before winter, it\u2019s often a harbinger of chilly political winds to come.\u00a0Biden\u2019s approval rating in the Granite State is the same as it is nationally \u2014 abysmal. And the passage of the infrastructure bill won\u2019t change that, no matter how much the Democrats and CNN celebrate it.<\/p>\n<p>The gas pump stickers are similar tactics to what Democrats did to Republican presidents like Trump. Remember those \u201cNot my President\u201d bumper stickers? So in a way Republicans now are just returning the favor.<br \/>\nBiden opponents have also adopted the \u201cLet\u2019s Go Brandon\u201d chant to taunt the president. It\u2019s a PG way of saying something much more crude that has the same number of syllables, but it\u2019s a clever tactic and it drives Democrats crazy.<\/p>\n<p>This is what passes for grass roots political strategy these days. The \u201cLet\u2019s Go Brandon\u201d chant and \u201cI Did it\u201d stickers went viral on social media platforms like TikTok.<\/p>\n<p>New Hampshire is a hotbed of politics, because of the first in the nation primary. Voters have become accustomed to getting up close to presidents and candidates and aren\u2019t afraid to confront them in person.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why Biden\u2019s visit contains some risk, although he\u2019ll be protected in his trip to Woodstock, far out of major cities like Nashua and Manchester.<br \/>\nBiden is also planning to spend some quality time in the little middle class enclave of Nantucket over the Thanksgiving holiday. Nothing like going to an ultra exclusive vacation island to showcase how the infrastructure bill will help the little people in the middle of an economic crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Air Force One is expected to fly right into Nantucket\u2019s tiny airport, and Secret Service will be crawling all over the island, which I\u2019m sure the locals will appreciate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Using their own rule book against them.
