You see, the chapotraphouse subreddit was big supporters of Bernie Sanders so when he lost the Dem election in 2019 there was chaos there mostly coping and the most upvoted Post in that time became a Picture of Lenin saying "and were did that bring you? Back to me" and the MLs started talking about the failures of electoralism in liberal democracy and radicalising the bernie people
It was a fun time
I knew I first saw the meme there but is that actually its origin too?
Technically the quote "And where did that bring you? Back to me." is a line Thanos says in Avenger's Endgame. It became a larger meme that then birthed the chapo bit and you know the rest.
FUCK yes thank you I knew there was something else to it, I've seen exactly zero MCU shit since Iron Man so I forgot about that
where's mine? I've seen none of them 💅
Also Lenin kinda looks like Thanos in this picture. There's a similar shot of Thanos, I think it's actually the shot where he says that line.
Yep, in the 2019 bernie lost, sometime people reposted it but with bernie was the first time
I think I saw it in the 2016 election too
Haha that’s great, thanks.
