Oh no, it's profane and crude.

Ms. Colleen tries every spin she can think of here. To her it's all so bewildering and rancorous that the bitter clingers won't let go of their delusions and join in the progressive future with her and the rational people. "Fuck Joe Biden" was already the most popular and common crowd chant at sports events for weeks before NBC so hilariously failed to suppress it in their NASCAR coverage. "Let's Go Brandon" has been co-opted with delight and aplomb universally as a rallying cry with new additional meaning: "Fuck Joe Biden... and the Media."
A typical problem for magazine writers is their view of the 'rabble' out there as barely guided sheep with no will, intelligence, or beliefs of their own. They're Christians because they were told to be. They're Republicans because they were told to be. If only we could be the ones to tell them, they'd be ours instead. They bemoan and decry anyone who lampoons or lambasts the media because they're derailing their holy attempts at progress through reeducation of the recalcitrant and stupid zombies who vote against their and everyone's best interests.
To them it is unthinkable and in-fact impossible that the 'masses' could have a thought of their own and make real decisions absent being told by their betters. They look at a cultural phenomenon and refuse the obvious explanation that the crowd is against them. It is the Trump PAC, it is the "Veteran GOP ad maker Jim Innocenzi" who has done this. There is no subtlety in this message, it is just a repackaged one delivered in the NPC update given to the captured drones of the opposition. It's "coded crudity" which merely rolls off the tongue better.
There is even a hint of jealousy that such a simple message could be so powerfully utilized. This is why they hate (and fail always to reproduce) memes. They willfully ignore the power of the crowd's intelligence. Centralized power comes from centralized intelligence. The people wielding power is as unnatural as the people disagreeing with their betters. For this fact alone they fail to packetize their message efficiently because they fail to account for the force-multiplier that simple (and especially subtle) Truth has when it is transmitted freely by the plebeians amongst themselves.
Reading a leftist's bewildered analysis of a simple fact is here, as always, a delightful pastime. It reassures me that these big thinkers are far more blinded by their prejudice and philosophical indoctrination than can ever be undone in this generation.
Woe unto future radical thinkers who DO have to deal with authoritarians who actually understand how information naturally transmits. This current crop is hobbled by their own worldview and they consistently defeat themselves every time they open their mouths.
So long as truth remains the bedrock of memery, no authoritarian can effectively use it unless he be just. And I think a lot of people are ready for a just authoritarian.
