      You had the opportunity to say “Seize the memes of production” and you didn’t take it?

        It’s playing off how TikTok’s short form content is largely suited to inconsequential entertainment. TikTok produces memes, Trump wants to seize it. So you’re not seizing the memes of production like the classic joke indicates, you’re seizing that which produces the memes.

        The joke is now dead, but the autopsy indicates why I smiled even though it didn’t land with most.

        Right! That was my first thought. They obviously know the saying but messed up the pun. I’m sad, but I still upvoted them.
