I wish we’d stop depicting authoritarians and dictators in memes. Although it can seem like it’s making them a laughing stock, it’s not. It’s making them more sympathetic to the general public, and they’re taking advantage of it (see the White House PR troll team). Just ask a Colombian if they enjoy seeing Escobar memes, or a Ukrainian seeing Putin memes.
At least give them swastikas.
