Comma should've been a colon.
Another place not meant for governments.
A pretty effective place to put coffee, though. Or any drug really...
Weirdly I know of several stories of people becoming addicted to this.
We all make choices?
Addicted to boofing coffee?
Yes, we are clearly missing out!
Enemas all around!
I mean, she's got a point!
I kinda feel like we’re beyond joke meme protest signs. This shit isn’t funny anymore
The court jester was very often the vehicle by which a king would learn of any discontent among his people. Humor and politics are like Batman and Robin.
Don't read it, then.
Try a sub that doesn't have MEME in the title.
Humor is important.
Laughter doesn't erase our better sensibilities about real topics. In fact, it's the sweetener that makes that medicine go down. Otherwise, all we have is the horror of stark and bleak realities that have already pushed many of us to the edge of burnout. These people aren't making light of our situation, or being insensitive about the plight of those effected, they're being kind while reminding us of the core message: there are people in charge that believe in cruelty as a valid form of governance. Without humor, we'd all be looking away most of the time as it's simply too much.
Also, your mind will work overtime to block things that hurt or shock you. But you're far more likely to remember a good laugh. Jokes get the message out, and help make it stick.
Too bad
I'd like to take a moment to appreciate the overall range, style, and quality of protest signs on display this past weekend. If you compare all this activity to all the republican^1^ rallies in the last few years, the difference is stark. The left really does have all the creative^2^ power.
- Do not use his name.
- "MAGA" is re-used from the regan era which in turn is kinda/sorta re-used from an older UK campaign: "Make Britian great again". Jerks can't even come up with a decent slogan on their own with half that much typographical impact.
