Sheesh, lots to unpack here. I've never seen so much strawman compressed into just one image!
1. Once Elizabeth Warren discovered that she is indeed not Native American upon taking a DNA test, she formally apologized to the Cherokee Nations and no longer claims she is Native American. Though, it is also crucial to keep in mind that at no point did Warren claim that she wasn't White.
2. Kamala Harris is literally 50% African American. Nothing even remotely incorrect there. Biracial people exist, ya know.
3. Greta Thunberg may not herself be an "expert" as her young age and lack of credentials would bar her as such, but her job is to promote and popularize the climate data put out by actual experts. Her role is to use her platform to spread the consensus among "experts" in the field that human-caused climate change is indeed genuine.
4. Since when has Floyd been considered a "hero"? Someone being unjustly murdered by the police does not grant them heroism by default. The right loves to claim that the left believes that George Floyd was a wonderful person and that is the reason for all the protests, when in reality, we are merely protesting the epidemic of police violence that goes unpunished, disproportionately effecting African Americans.
5. Gates may not be a scientist by trade, but he is an inventor and has pioneered many scientific undertakings throughout his career. Therefore, I don’t think “scientist” is a complete misnomer.
6. I'm guessing Michelle Obama would be "oppressed" because she is a Black woman? Even though her wealth and political power may shield her from many types of oppressions, that doesn't free her completely from issues disproportionately faced by women and African Americans.
7. No one is claiming that arson and riots are peaceful. But it is a proven fact that the majority of BLM demonstrations across the US were peaceful, and the ones that turned violent were generally instigated by anarchists who do not even associate themselves with the cause.
8. This is borderline transphobic. If Rachel Levine identifies as a woman, she can, and that doesn't make her "less of a woman" than someone with XX chromosomes. When will the right understand that gender and sex are inherently separate from one another?
9. Biden is competent enough to be President. He doesn't have Alzheimers. Just because he is prone to gaffes (many of them are brought on by his stutter, and he has never been known to be an articulate speaker, so this is not a new thing), doesn't mean he is dementing and cannot serve as president. He has passed every health examination administered to him and continues to do so. Also, let's not act like Trump also doesn't mispronounce words and say things that completely make no sense often either.
The most ironic part about this whole "meme" is the heading, "why young people are confused", even though none of these nine squares would confuse the average person. Perhaps, it's the older generations and MAGA types who are experiencing confusion, given all of the cognitive dissonance. Perhaps you should give Facebook a break.

Add in that anyone who thinks water is commonly used as engine coolant is a moron who helps pay the wages in my industry! Water simply dilutes the coolant/anti-freeze, water on it's own has nether a high enough boiling point or a low enough freezing point to avoid engine damage (in roads cars - but race cars are not exactly 'common' are they).
Truly the right can't meme.

That Joe Rogan meme is so disingenuous. That dude spent a year talking about how all you have to do is be healthy & workout like he does, and you really have nothing to fear. Then he catches it, and self says, "threw the kitchen-sink at it" the same day; a sink full of medicine one would have to literally have on stand-by, that includes monoclonals alongside a couple other meds and ivermectin. But, he goes on his show, talks about how he felt great 3 days later and props the ivermectin that did nothing.
This doesn't begin to touch on Joe's recent adventures. He had on Dr. McCullough who flat out said, "You can't catch Covid twice". Then brings on Dr. Malone who has his own history of misinformation ("invented mRNA technology"). As of the last couple days, Joe has given support to Tucker Carlson under the idea that Tucker, hilariously, is a fair & balanced host who brings people on to his show to give their story. Rogan is so far gone, his subreddit and loyal fanbase are calling him out & signaling their displeasure of his turn whilst the same subreddit gets flooded with right-wing & conspiracy wack jobs.

There's a funny story in that first one for anyone unaware.
Michael Forbes is a Scottish farmer who wouldn't sell his property to Trump for development into a golf course. Trump even tried to enlist the government in his fight by having them compel sale, but failed. Then the Glenfiddich-sponsored "Spirit of Scotland" Awards rolled around and the public voted for Forbes for the title of "Top Scot." Dissatisfied with the results, Trump even alleged fraud--a tactic that is now thoroughly unsurprising.

There's nothing "borderline" about it. That's transphobia, pure and simple.

There has to be an interesting correlation between right wing views, Impact font and being painfully unfunny.

If only the currently alive Bernie! could have gotten the same support...
But hey, nice try from the "party of personal responsibility" angle. An arrogant red-hatted snowflake response from people who hadn't figured out 5th-grade math. In case you haven't noticed over the years, massive political uprising is terrible to the economy. Destroying everyone's basic institutions is incredibly rash and a dangerous response. But hey, any excuse to call people "patRiots" even though the system still offers them easy upper-middle-class success just for waking up anywhere that day. People got killed over basic repeated lies any sane adult with a functioning cerebral cortex could have ignored. That dictator-grade ******** should be investigated and traitors should be locked up for that crime. But it will take years and after a handful of low-level cretins get five years in jail, no major names will read aloud with an appropriate sentence, lest membership of their own kind fear their own hides without power and control for the future.
Don't worry, it's Elvis Presley's birthday tomorrow, we can also focus on that.
