I support Bernie Sanders, because he has literally spent his entire life fighting for equality and working people. You know what I don’t have? Tattoos of him on my body. I didn’t pay to install an industrial flagpole at my house. I don’t wear his merch. I don’t drive around with a Bernie flag trailing from my vehicle. I don’t inject him into every conversation. Bernie Sanders is not my entire identity. That’s the difference…
The meme isn’t about the sort of hero-worship that Trump is receiving, which is a phenomenon unique to Trump. (Republicans didn’t hero-worship their candidates until he came along.) Rather, the meme is about people who have strong opinions about things they don’t understand, and these people include supporters of Bernie Sanders.
How much money should the government allocate towards cancer research? Do Starlink satellites create a dangerous amount of orbital debris? Would experiments with geo-engineering to mitigate climate change be worth the risk? Is Biden’s economic policy responsible for the recent high inflation? Are the acts Trump is accused of actually crimes?
These are questions that even most experts can’t confidently answer but I recall them being discussed on Lemmy recently by people who were very confident about the accuracy of their uninformed opinions. I do that sort of thing sometimes too, despite my attempts to catch myself.
The Seuss-thing is clearly wearing a MAGA hat, let me know when you have a clearly identifiable clothing or logo that can also somehow lump in all those categories on ignorance.
Like are people that say Trump is literally a felon wrong? Are people that say climate change isn’t real wrong?
Maybe you should go read a book if you aren’t sure on some of these topics, instead of JAQing off in everyone’s face.
Folks, “BoTh SiDeS”!
