Trump, seen here displaying the highest number he can count to.

This is a class of meme which I refer to as liberal porn. It has no message, it does not push for improving the lives of others, all it does is insult Trump and his supporters.

This is occupy Democrats level content. Let's actually post good political memes that have some meaning to them beyond orange man bad.

Just wanted to say I find it hilarious that both democrats and republicans use the term "liberal" as an insult for the other. It's comedy gold. As a foreigner, it took me ages to understand what that term was supposed to mean because of it, but now, oh man!

But yes, I do agree, this is a low quality joke with little to no substance. Would be better served if it weren't political at least. Some 3 stooges like thing.

Democrats don't use liberal to insult Republicans. Leftist use it to insult Democrats.

Oh? Every time I heard a leftist say it, they seemed to be describing an ancap strawman. And I've never heard a democrat describe them selves as liberal and never seen a self described liberal even remotely want to associate with democrats.

Is this what all you folks downvoting posts that criticize Biden want? Orange man bad memes from 2016? o.O

The problem here is that no matter how much you hate Trump and his ~~grift~~ policies are you really ready to suggest that just under half of your voting age adults nationwide all have the same (low) intelligence? That would not seem to reflect well on your compatriots either when you calculate averages, means and medians.

One of my favorite George Carlin quotes:

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Unfortunately, yeah, man’s not wrong. I know there’s supposedly some quote attributed to a US President about him being unhappy that half the population is below average intelligence and wanting something done about it… if true that’s a real smh moment.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Yes. This country is full of idiots. This is what a failed education system looks like.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Hang on. If they're just as stupid as the other 2, wouldn't that make it all 3 out of 3?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah... harping on and on about the (alleged) "stupidity" of Trump supporters worked so well in 2016.

Don't you have anything else?
