We need to ensure that we maintain the notion that an administration saying things like “suck it up” is never accepted as normal.
The memes are funny, yes- but the more this becomes a joke, the more we begin to allow for it because that’s “just what they do.”
That may be just what they do, but accepting it as commonplace doesn’t have to be just what we do.
Use THIS to speak your voice and don’t accept this administration’s attempts distract us by dumbing our politics down to memes.
It can be both. Let’s flood them with memes.
It has been proven over the past decade that memes have real political power.
That was a serious statement and not a joke.
You had the brevity to say what I tried to say in a news article-level word barf. Kudos.
Oh, flood them with everything. Find a way to firehose noise at them constantly. It would honestly be the best thing anyone could do. I was just adding to @Wren@lemmy.world 's post, that we all sharing memes for internal humor is pointless. Mango Mussolini only sees something if it’s on FOX or CNN, written on the underside of a Big Mac, or some poor sexually abused intern has to hand him a note. Muskrat doesn’t see messages carved onto his cars, he just sees his stock dropping and how he’s too impotent to love his children.
The meme has to actually be in their face all the time. Inescapable. Billboards, sky writing, blimps, snail mail, post-it notes on their car, a Tetris of Teslas on an interchange that spells out TWAT that then catches on fire, a subscription to Anus of the Month club with newsletters, whatever. It has to be something that makes them realize they can’t hide from being a shitty person anywhere. That’s what their brains do to justify being evil, hide. They have their quiet happy place thanks to rich privilege. Take that away, make them feel the same discomfort the entire planet feels because they’re assholes, they’ll get scared like they already should be.
It’s more difficult now, really, as we can’t be some 1950s movie where bags of mail are delivered to Congress showing pissed-offed-ness. There are too many filters in place. You gotta figure out how to send them WEA messages on every phone in DC using the cellular networks, you gotta get road signs around where they ride hacked to say terrible things, you gotta get their Uber Eats order to somehow have a bowl of soup that spells out “you are a shadow of a human being” in soup letters when they pull the lid off. (Might be a stretch, that last one.)
(This is a bad reference but it’s the best I can think of in the moment.) Think of the spirit of what 4chan always was (mixed topic, right?) 20 years ago, it was claimed to be a far left site while just being random, now it’s claimed a far right site, but it was always just a far weird site, chaos, bedlam. When Balloon Boy was live TV with allegedly a kid trapped in a balloon that turned out to be fake, 4chan ordered a pizza to the house of the weird criminal parents. Pizza delivery seen on live TV across America. A harmless prank that actually was also food and made as much sense as the whole scam balloon thing.
TL;DR: The point is, make them SEE and FEEL they aren’t as invulnerable as they think they are. No violence has to happen. The discomfort alone is all they need. It’s insanely simple. Remember Muskrat and the already public information jet tracking he freaked out over? So simple.
They’re so tone-deaf and under-educated, they have no clue that the things they say are not only lacking in humor, but lacking in any connection to reality, humanity, and they don’t even understand the concept of empathy.
That administration and their remaining followers have no value for life of any kind.
We can’t forget that.
they don’t even understand the concept of empathy.
That’s all you need to know.
JD Vance was justifiably bullied in school
“Why don’t you just ask your dad for some money?”
funny, I’m sure they in return can think of a thing or two you can suck up yourself, you pope killing couchfucker weirdo.
the guy that killed the pope is funny
That’s a funny way of spelling “go fuck themselves”
pretty standard when they want it to be on OTA TV IMO.
Fuck you, JD
No wonder the pope had a stroke after talking to this guy
I hope Pope willfully took an exit to talk to The Guy about this couchlover.
“God, I wish that I didn’t have to meet with this Vance person.”
Yahweh’s finger curls.
Not that I am against the article but this is nearly 3 weeks old. Is it news at this point?
It will be worth it when they fucking rebel. We are three missed meals away from revolution.
three missed meals
I thought it was 9, but I guess with intermittent fasting, it could be the same time frame
Sorry, I guess I was thinking about cats.
My cat would be sizing me up after missing breakfast.
mine would do that after getting down to a pound of food.
This is America. This can mean 4000 calorie meals at the extreme end. So we require fewer meals to miss to reach the mean calorie count of most other countries which equal 9 meals.
This is America we’re talking about. They won’t rebel. They’ll blame their neighbours and start killing each other (moreso than they already are.) The only people who’ll be safe are the people at the top.
I am so fucking glad this dipshit can not command the cult of MAGA they way Trump can.
Seriously he has the charisma of a burnt chicken nugget at the back of the oven.
That’s why the pope died.
JD Vance sucked his last will to live right from his body.
The D stands for Dementor.
I’ve got something Vance can suck up.
that space is taken already by trump.
Couch lint?
*sensual vacuum noises*
The central scrutinizer has entered the chat
Felching Vance doing the nasty
He can suck my fat unwashed cock instead. Fucking nazi shitstain.
