A joke started by twitter users in early 2022, the joke was originally used ironically to make fun of conservatives skewed perception of biden, and to also make fun of the fact biden is more seen as a senile old man that doesn’t do anything. The meme takes inspiration from many 2020 attack ads which depict him as a reckless leftist who will destroy America . Although the meme was used ironically for most of its use, it seems as of recent biden has been more aggressive in his policy and remarks. The joke was also picked up by many mainstream news outlets (typically more right wing) which saw it as an attempt by leftist to make him look cooler.
person 1: hey, have you seen these dark brandon memes? they seem so stupid

person 2: dark brandon will rise, you are not safe from his reign!
Get the Dark Brandon mug.
Noun. President Grandpa with sunglasses and an attitude. Not going to listen to no Maga malarkey. Makes Marjorie Taylor Greene nervy and hot.
Dark Brandon let people off the hook for student loans, and that will get Marjorie Taylor Greene all hot and bothered

A play on the term “let’s go Brandon”. Dark Brandon is a persona given to 46th president Joe Biden. Dark Brandon is normally classified as a more politically aggressive biden, taking action against opponents rather than his common calls for unity
Person one - Did you hear? The FBI just raided Donald Trump!
Person two - Dark Brandon Rises!

a movement full of patriotic Americans who are fed up with MAGA's bullshit.
MAGA wouldn't stop making threats of violence so Dark Brandon had to whoop their sorry asses.

Dark Brandon takes over the obscene and vicious Let’s Go Brandon meme from the caterwauling Dark Side, and weaponizes it for Progressives, with overtones of Batman and other superheroes. Components of the meme include Joe Biden's aviator sunglasses hiding laser eyes; his numerous political achievements; ice cream cones; fighting malarkey; a Dark Brandon prequel movie with a multitude of familiar superheroes; Dark Brandon 2. The other side is trying to take it back with accusations of pedophilia and incontinence.

It has been extended to

Dark Garland or Dark Merrick, Attorney General Merrick Garland
Dark Kamala, VP Kamala Harris
Dark Obama, Former President Barack Obama
Dark Hillary, Hillary Clinton
Dark Fetterman, Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman

It has been used in tweets from the White House, and written up in Rolling Stone and on Daily Kos.
shorter merrick garland: "my transformation is complete. the era of dark merrick is nigh. all hail brandon."

Beau of The Fifth Column @BeauTFC: "West Point has gone woke" might be my new favorite. There's only one possible explanation. Dark Brandon adjusted the curriculum.

A 'Dark Brandon' is the little turd you make when you shit your pants.
Yesterday, a White House intern co-opted a MAGA meme and changed the name to make Joe Biden look virile and cool, but didn't realize he used Nazi imagery until the internet flamed him. He was so upset, then he felt a warm sensation by his anus. He looked down and realized he made a "Dark Brandon."
