While I agree that getting bullied in the news cycle is not healthy, I feel like getting the information about what's going on around you from memes is also not good. It lacks context and details to enable the user from processing the news with critical thinking. I don't know what the answer is, but for people who exercise their power of a vote, I feel like they need to be as knowledgeable about the issues as possible.
