    I know plenty of leftist who live in reality, understood reality, and voted realistically for an ally in the fight over the next four years.

    And then there’s fantasy leftists who do zero work, yell into their echo chambers, guard their fragile worldview from exposure to reality, and pretend they’re doing anything to further the cause. Oh and they get mad, stamp their feet, and stay home instead of vote. Or worse, they’re so far up their own ass they honestly think voting for the leopard is a good idea.

    The one saving grace is that there aren’t enough of them here to sway a dog catcher election, let alone a national one.

      Right, so memes blaming them for the apocalypse is extra silly

        Memes are supposed to be. So, mission accomplished?

          “it’s just a meme bro it doesn’t mean anything”

          okay, at least you agree it is silly behavior

            Oh, don’t misunderstand, it absolutely means something. Satire, political cartoons, parody, etc have been used for centuries to make a point. Memes are no different.

              So then why the deflection with “memes are supposed to be silly?” Obviously I’m referring to the meaning of the meme, passing it off as “just a meme” is intellectual cowardice.

                Cartoons are cartoonish, satire is supposed to be satirical, memes are supposed to be memish, and for the most part that means silly

                Are you incapable of this level of discourse? If I’m going to have to start posting articles about etymology you’re probably gonna get bored.

                I never said " it’s just a meme " or any of those other things you’re trying to cram in my mouth.

                Before you can question the attributes of someone’s intellect, you might want to actually have some for comparison.

                  Untrue, memes are just a pattern of information, they can be comedic, silly, satirical, anything. Silly is not a base component.

                  Are you incapable of this level of discourse?

                  Are you? I said the idea was silly, and you said that was doing its job because its a meme.

                  The absolute irony of this statement. Firstly, I was questioning your intellectual *cowardice* by being too much of a pussy to stand by your statements and instead say its okay to have silly opinions because the opinions were delivered by memes.

                  So maybe work on your reading comprehension before you want to attack someone’s intellect.

                    You correctly identified a property I believe memes should have. You deserve kudos for operating at that high a level. I wish you well on your journey through senescence.
