Checked out the ConservativeMemes subreddit and these are some of the top posts, which I believe are a reflection of the republican psyche today. Given all that’s happening right now, these are apparently some of their priorities:
- Obama
- Michelle Obama
- AOC
- Snow White
- “Strong Male” propaganda
- Insecure masculinity
- Rosie O’Donnel,
- “Some Germans saved Jews, why don’t Palestinians save jews in today’s conflict?”
It’s because the point of these memes isn’t to be humorous or to even make too much sense. It’s to be hateful so that the viewer has their dark feelings validated.
I am not a racist because other people agree. I am not hateful, because look, something I normally wouldn’t verbalize day to say is a lighthearted meme. Now, these things that would otherwise be unsaid or socially unacceptable have a point of expression, can be sent out to test the waters and find other like minded people.
Memes like this aren’t for the lols. They’re so hate can be spread and find a home.
