    For a candidate that was the first real meme candidate, it’s pretty amazing there aren’t popular memes about his lying and deflection and haplessness.

    It seems the gish gallop works in the dank.

      My dude, where was your internet during those 4 years? We absolutely had tons of memes about it. There was just so much material that the quantity drowned out the quality.

        Totally. I’ll never forget about perpetual infrastructure week.

        Also was kind of funny that in the end a large infrastructure bill was one of the first things Biden/congress actually did after taking office.

        Oh, I get there was memes, but none have survived the passage of time in the same way. Thanks obama has survived.

        It’s the sheer volume of trumps inadequacies. None stick in the same way as he’s as disposable as his memes. With high quantity, I’d expect some to rise to the challenge. None really did. None capture the moment or zeitgeist around him.

        Perhaps referring to him and his administration as a dumpster fire did, but that was more language catching on than a meme.

        The drowning out is partially my point. A gosh gallop is giving so much misinformation that to properly rebut is not possible,
