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.

The reverse of paranoia, from the 1948 Science Fiction short story, "Narapoia", by Alan Nelson. Delusions that one is following somebody, or that others are plotting to do the victim good.
"Well, I keep having this strange feeling that people are plotting to do me good. That they're trying to be benevolent and kind toward me. I don't know exactly who they are, or why they wish me all this kindness, but...it's all very fantastic, isn't it?"
This new disorder apparently had symptoms opposite from paranoia; he would call it "narapoia".
