The tone the meme conveys erodes resolve and countenance, which is so critical for Harris to accrue right now. I agree Biden was not a great candidate, I voted for him out of necessity and frankly I would have voted for Harris even more enthusiastically if she had been the candidate in 2020 though moreso for Buttigieg.

That said, this country, even among progressives, is unusually racist and sexist. Harris has a tough hill to climb and only weeks to do it in.

Let us use our meme magic to make her way easy. Or at least to give her opposition as little ammo as possible.

I call this a fascist meme because the format has been co-opted by the alt-right, and while I cannot claim your intentions, I err on the side of humanity and do not assume you are a deliberate forum slider. But it WILL be used by dedicated forum sliders to erode Harris's positon.

My anger is medical and highly resistant to medical treatment, thank you.

Do you believe that should give you a pass to take it out on any random Lemming who says anything that could possibly be misinterpreted?

Further, the meme format depicted here was created by an autistic person for memes specifically pertaining to autism and I have never seen it used in any context besides that.

Expounding on that point, the meme reads to me (and, I'd argue, to any reasonable person) that OP is humorously commenting on how their brain defaults to parsing the word "joever" and nothing more.

Who the fuck are you to police my motives? I'm warning you so you know what you're dealing with.

Yes, and EVERY meme the alt-right co-opts comes from innocent and progressive sources. *gestures frantically at Pepe and Doge*

That's how they operate. They take the works of others and twist them to serve their frat boy purposes.

But this format very much isn't right wing. It's overwhelmingly used by the left.

Seriously though. I've personally never seen the right use this format, mostly seeing it used by transfems as a more affirming alternative to the Drake meme. This is the base meme under the text boxes:
