I'm a huge fan of the original joke, but I actually feel like this is misinformation that could be bad for the campaign and I'm happy to respectfully discuss why I feel that way.
"Misinformation" come on now, do you really think people are gonna see this and think that's an actual conversation?
It's an obvious meme, you can let your hair down and just enjoy it!
Same vibes:
I know I seem like a massive stick in the mud but consider that there are people in this very thread struggling with what was really said and what wasn't. I fucking love the jokes and I love batting them among us but this image where it implies he's actually doing these more overt crass things is exactly the sort of image I'd expect my MAGA dad to share as proof of how satanic Walz is.
The stakes are high and memes are a big part of this election, moreso than in 2016 or 2020, and I know how fucking onlinechan that sounds but it's true, in a very mainstream way.
If it wasn't this picture, your dad would find something entirely made up AND unfunny to share instead. It was never intended to change his mind and the odds are it wouldn't whether or not memes like this existed.
This is meant to get people who ARE reachable energized to vote through humor. And it's obviously working. The malaise everyone had with Biden has become hope!
