When you have two brain cells fighting for third place

I'm stealing this.

This is a class of meme which I refer to as liberal porn. It has no message, it does not push for improving the lives of others, all it does is insult Trump and his supporters.

This is occupy Democrats level content. Let's actually post good political memes that have some meaning to them beyond orange man bad.

Just wanted to say I find it hilarious that both democrats and republicans use the term "liberal" as an insult for the other. It's comedy gold. As a foreigner, it took me ages to understand what that term was supposed to mean because of it, but now, oh man!

But yes, I do agree, this is a low quality joke with little to no substance. Would be better served if it weren't political at least. Some 3 stooges like thing.

Democrats don't use liberal to insult Republicans. Leftist use it to insult Democrats.

[-] LANIK2000@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Oh? Every time I heard a leftist say it, they seemed to be describing an ancap strawman. And I've never heard a democrat describe them selves as liberal and never seen a self described liberal even remotely want to associate with democrats.

Fees fights foes fumbs, I sold some docs in an unmarked van.

Trump, seen here displaying the highest number he can count to.

Aww crap. What if he is practicing for a nuclear war?

[-] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Hang on. If they're just as stupid as the other 2, wouldn't that make it all 3 out of 3?

[-] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works -2 points 3 months ago

The problem here is that no matter how much you hate Trump and his ~~grift~~ policies are you really ready to suggest that just under half of your voting age adults nationwide all have the same (low) intelligence? That would not seem to reflect well on your compatriots either when you calculate averages, means and medians.

[-] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Yes. This country is full of idiots. This is what a failed education system looks like.

[-] atmur@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

One of my favorite George Carlin quotes:

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

As of the 2020 election, 29% of registered voters identified as Republican. (33% are democrats and 34% independent who predominantly vote one way or the other.)

Further, only 60% of eligible voters actually voted.

The average person is dumb. But not that dumb.

[-] LANIK2000@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

This! And 29% of 60% is 17.4%. I'd say there's plenty of room for all the dumb people there. And just for completion, 19.8% for democrats.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It’s actually kind of frightening how republicans have that much power with that little actual support.

The 40% that aren’t registered could practically create their own party and dominate. (Well, if they were a cohesive group.)

[-] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 months ago

Did not almost 50% of the 60% that voted vote Trump? I was under the impression that the overall vote count was reasonably close.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Keep in mind many districts are gerrymandered to hell and back. Biden had 51% of the popular vote where Trump had 46%.

Which, for the record is nearly 17, 18, million people?

[-] LANIK2000@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Oh, this is just people that are registered as republicans. Arguably a better metric of actual supporters, rather than just plain votes, as those include a lot of strategic votes from people that don't really like either, but just settle for whatever they think of as the lesser evil. But even using registered people is a bit iffy, because not all necessarily need to like the given candidate, just food for thought.

And since ya asked, here's the same math with votes. The 2020 election final round turnout was 66.6% and 46.8% voted Trump, that means 31.1%. And for Biden, 51.3%, so that would be 34.1%. I'm using Wikipedia's numbers btw.

Sir. I think you forget where you are. This is the internet.

[-] whostosay@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

While this is true, I think you forgot to say yes. Just fucking talk to 3 people.

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net -2 points 3 months ago

Is this what all you folks downvoting posts that criticize Biden want? Orange man bad memes from 2016? o.O

[-] masquenox@lemmy.world -5 points 3 months ago

Yeah... harping on and on about the (alleged) "stupidity" of Trump supporters worked so well in 2016.

Don't you have anything else?
