“This is a movement. Love it!” said one spectator.

“If I were a politician,” remarked another, “I’d be really really worried about growing numbers of young people shouting ‘FJB’.”

The catchphrase that spread like wildfire started in the student’s section at Brooks Stadium near Myrtle Beach during a game between The Citadel and Coastal Carolina on Thursday, September 2.

The next day, according to Newsweek, the same “F—k Joe Biden” chant echoed from inside Virginia Tech’s Lane Stadium in Blacksburg during the Hokies’ conference matchup against North Carolina.

The energy continued the following night on September 4 when “FJB” reverberated throughout Kyle Field in College Station during Texas A&M’s game against Kent State.

The differing size of the aforementioned stadiums is indicative of the momentum: Brooks holds 21,000 people; Lane seats over 65,000; capacity at Kyle Field tops 102,000. So the groundswell quickly became palpable, although the chant itself wasn’t necessarily meant to be humorous, as one might assume, considering that mounting antipathy for the current marble-mouth president (and his handlers) has become undeniable even to 46’s staunchest advocates.

Accordingly, the spontaneous three-word cheer arose as a proud, almost celebratory means of asserting their opposition to certain dictatorial mandates that lose validity by the day, especially in light of the troubling methods by which they remain enforced.

Further, the mantra wouldn’t have caught on if the shared revulsion that inspired the cheer lacked legitimacy. In fact young and old alike were beyond enthused to have an immutable outlet, at long last, to express their long-held disdain — and it was just getting started.

Coastal Carolina, again, kept it going on September 10 during the Chanticleers’ game against Kansas. The next day, around the time #FJB became one of the top trends on social media, “F—k Joe Biden” was heard, loud and clear, during games at Alabama, Auburn, Indiana, Louisiana State, Michigan, and Tennessee.

Despite its increasing popularity, one could argue that “FJB” didn’t go fully viral until two days later, on Monday the 13th, when New Yorkers marching across the Brooklyn Bridge repeated the now-familiar chant during a protest of their own. And since then, students and fans at Kentucky, West Virginia, and Wyoming have added their voices to the mix.

Earlier today, I was at a Target store in Germantown, Tennessee when my COVID mask, which reads “This Mask is Useless,” caught the attention of a likeminded compatriot, who then proceeded to show me her shirt, which read, as you might’ve guessed, “F—k Joe Biden.”

This isn’t likely to go away anytime soon, nor should it.

Edit, October 27: Still going strong. With that said…
