The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!
But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

you're getting loads of downvotes, but I honestly think it's mostly from people who feel called-out on some level that we all, as a society, have long abandoned wanting better outcomes and just want emotional validation.
This is the trick that Russia and other entities amplified in our social media spaces and forums, the raw emotions and anger that leaves people making choices based on feelings rather than solid understanding of politics.
I mean, it's too late now, it all worked and got people so distracted that we let the coyote in to guard the henhouse. But I mean, ideally yah we would need to put some better effort into separating how we feel from what we really want. That ship has sailed a long time ago, leftists are as delusional as the right now, but in a different direction. RIP democracy.
