    Hate Trump & maga but this meme is pretty explicitly ableist. Why we gotta make fun of disabled ppl too

      I get what you’re saying, but this is showing the symptoms of a stroke. Having a stroke is not a disability, although it might result in one.

        These signs are not exclusive to strokes & that’s besides the point. What matters is that it shouldn’t qualify them for ridicule…

          All 3 of those together are the universal warning signs of a stroke.

          F.A.S.T.

          Face

          Arm

          Speech

          => Time

        I still can’t help wonder. There are people who dove headfirst into Trumpism who I would not consider to be irrational before.

        I do not understand why it works on half of the country but has the complete opposite effect on me.

        What is different about me?..and how do I spread that difference to that half of the country?

          Only 1/3 of the country.

          And given that nearly half of adults can’t read above a 6th grade level, this really isn’t that surprising. They cannot grasp any nuance at all.
