I think "Dark Brandon" was artificially inflated to make Biden seem cool.
It absolutely was.
The original joke was can you imagine if we lived in such a strange and alien universe that Biden actually did something good.
Then they just slapped him with glowing eyes on anythingnhe did to insinuate it was good.
Like the original memes were dark Brandon signing a bill for rent co trol, can you imagine if Biden actually did something to help working class people.
Now we get news articles about how dark Brandon just pledged to give another 10 mil in arms contracts to Isreal. Which is about as on brand for him as you could possibly imagine.
It stopped being cool the moment his administration embraced it. They could have kept it going a bit longer if they refused to acknowledge the meme and pretended to distance themselves from it.
It's his 404 page now, they're not even pretending:

You have to click the "continue to site" thingy in the bottom right (or top right on desktop) the first time you access it, I think.
why is the president of a country doing a meet and greet?
In Capitalist America, you have to win a lotto to be heard by your representatives.
But jokes aside I'd wager their marketing team is just trying anything at this point. They have literally zero good reasons to why somebody should donate.
I also think this.
