Morphology

let's + go, + Brandon

The phrase 'Let's go, Brandon' is a recent political euphemism whose insulting meaning depends on specific cultural and sociopolitical knowledge; it is not a literal command combining 'let's' + 'go' + the name 'Brandon'. A B1 learner who knows the constituent words would not be able to infer the coded derogatory sense without prior exposure, so the expression is opaque.

Etymology

Let's go, Brandon comes from a 2021 car-race interview when a crowd loudly chanted a rude line about President Biden and a reporter said they were shouting 'let's go, Brandon' to the driver Brandon Brown. So the phrase became a polite-sounding 'insult' people use to show criticism of President Biden.
