The Political Satire/Meme Thread

I think you'll find that 3rd place on that podium are Wales, Scotland and the Republic of Ireland.

Is... this championing that the United States was founded on racist principles?

Think this one was tree'd by @FuriousDemon. More proof that nobody reads the Cursed thread.

Rudy Giuliani's fart sponge blocked on Twitter by the bechinned RNC chair Rona McDaniel. I think that's funny.

I guess this is a somewhat appropriate place to post this. Saw this old Volvo 240 at Costco. Littered with bumper stickers at support veganism and “saving the planet”… but also pro Trump stickers. Quite the oxymoron.

Sad Volvo noises

Putting stickers on that car is a crime against humanity.

I'm calling The Hague.

Wouldn't be surprised if the VGN country code sticker actually stands for virgin.

I'm guessing "vegan" is closer to the mark.

That's what I thought, too.

Then I thought this. 😂

Perhaps they're a fan of Douglas Adams?

Edit: Yay, Bill!

They drive a Volvo, they're swimming in eligible partners.

That's science?

Looks more like marketing to me.

Entirely possible that this is the "5th dentist" we always heard about who didn't approve.

I thought this one was actually the peer review process, except instead of censoring the scientist who didn't agree they were presented as an outlier and an overall consensus was formed. It's hardly carting them off to a gulag. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Anti-vaxxers...

Yeesh.

Getting your stupid ass kicked off social media isn’t censorship. Fox News and OAN are more than happy to bring those people on.

It's an appeal to emotion, not reason. The idea of censorship, particularly of a viewpoint that one shares, is frightening and motivates one to respond based on that fear instead of pausing to consider the actual implications. Appeals to the fear and anger of the aggrieved is a common tactic of propagandists and agitators.
