They started saying it because neolibs were trying to get the red MAGAs banned from communities and platforms for bad language, or just getting the algorithm to suppress it from feeds. Then when they switched, neolibs got pissed the red MAGAs were working around the algorithm filtering, and started posting this stupid meme.
Watching Red & Blue MAGA bicker is like watching toddlers argue.
No they weren't no one gives a fuck if you swear. Maga people started saying it because of that news reporter at a nascar* (I believe) event. The crowd was chanting fuck joe Biden and she misheard it and it went viral.
I really doubt she misheard it, the whole stadium was chanting it, she just couldn't repeat "fuck joe biden" on the news when they asked what they were chanting.
Naw our brains do that shit all the time - you don't hear someone quite right, and instead of recognizing that you didn't get the info, your noggin just fills in the blanks on its own. She very well may have clearly heard "Let's go Brandon!"

She was interviewing the winning driver, named Brandon, and tried to spin it into a chant for him.
