The left are champs at rallying around memes that makes no sense to anyone but themselves. Like anti memes.

It's not even that this one doesn't make sense, it's just not funny or a meme, even if it's agreeable.

That's kind of what I mean. If the political parties were actual partys. The right would be a backyard with a keg, axe throwing and live band with fireworks and strippers. The left would be a book reading in a damp living room where the the host served canned mini sausages and everybody wore wool sweaters.

They are not entirely wrong. Oligarchy influences media and thus voters and thus changes the will of the population. You should be aware of that.

Good thing memes don't have to be funny then.

[–] trailing9@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have you meant to reply to me when the comment above says that your post is not funny?

[–] Grayox@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah my bad was trying to reply to the user above you.

But isn't it amazing the right was able to convey all that with "fake news" the left always makes it sound like the right are a bunch of morons never realizing it was all well crafted.

Because most right wing memes are created by professionals. Left wing memes are genuine grass root creations.

The best grass root memes the right can come with is "let's go Brandon", which while catchy is about as meaningful as farting into a microphone.

Right. You say it like its a slight against the right. They by far much better funded, equipped and actually doing what works every single day and the left are so far behind the times in the new social media world. The ground already given up will never be recovered.
