dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Yeah, unfortunately I think it's more likely to see the Dems thread the needle and go "Of course, domestically, we're against everything the Trump administration is doing; but even we have to admit it's admirable the support he's showing our Israeli allies."

I'd love to be wrong about this, but...

I've gotten a couple of my "Vote Kamala or we all die!" Aquaintances to admit that throwing Palestinians under the bus was a shit move that didn't buy them any votes

The trick is to approach them like a lost dog, offer them a treat and speak with a calm, soothing voice while maintaining a firm, yet authoritative posture

when I say Dems I mean the representatives and party leadership.

Oh yeah, they can fuck off

Won't learn anything because they don't want to

The question is, can we get enough of these regular people to come around to the idea that the Dem party leadership is their fucking enemy?
