    It’s probably state and political organizations trying to influence the election by implicitly trashing the democrats, there are farms of memers from conservative countries and organizations trying to imply that the democrats are the authoritarian party to rattle the cages of voters.

    it happened in 2016 and 2020, and every American intelligence agency has been publicly cautioning voters for years that electoral manipulation through indirect methods like memes and social media posts are definitely being perpetrated by unfriendly countries and is only increasing.

    https://www.wired.com/story/russia-ira-propaganda-senate-report/

    It’s a pretty interesting story that not many people talk about, but a lot of political memes on the internet are supplied by foreign state actors willfully trying to influence American elections, and in the case of 2016, successfully affected the outcome of the American election for the conservatives according to intelligence agencies.

        you’re not “calling them out”, you’re upvoting a lazy, misguided meme without any context purely to get attention.

        “You guys are spamming the whole internet with your election bullcrap”

        proof?

        Just kidding, I know you don’t have any.

        I have zero political memes in my entire history.

        “You guys are a rogue country and I hope new york gets bombed someday.”

        your cowardly nature right here is proof of your insincerity and misunderstanding of how war works.

            consider what you’re saying before you write comments so demonstrably false or proven incorrect so easily.

                “…doesn’t like their narrative challenged.”

                Repeating the same thing everybody else agrees with is not “challenging”.

                you mean you find critical reasoning challenging.

                you having certain personal challenges is not the same thing as challenging an idea.

                you simply find ideas challenging.

You are surely innocent, looking at yourself as the good person. You are not. I wish you get drafted and sent to the middle east to get butchered like so many did. That would teach you to support the american military complex. Fuck you.

                “You are not”

                Yes I am, we just went over that.

                “I wish you get drafted and sent to the middle east to get butchered like so many did.”

                what are you- oh, butchered like the hundreds of thousands of Russian casualties so far.

                i get it.

                that would be terrible!

        link:

        in 2016 and 2020, meme farms were established in Russia, China and Iran specifically to covertently attack the democratic party so that The conservatives in the US would seem more rational, because for an actors with intense to harm the US want the conservatives to gain power again.

        that is happening again.

        Even if OP here isn’t one of the Russian meme farmers themselves, their misunderstanding of the political conflict is undoubtedly influenced by the intentionally divisive and simplified memes flooded into American social media by bad actors.

        It’s a dead-end, lazy barely-a-thought meme and the fashionably cynical futility of American policy analysis should be confronted.

            I’ve never posted a political meme, I think I’ve only ever posted one meme.

            “Are you the paid propagandist? No way somebody normal speaks like that.”

            The American government and their intelligence agencies speak like that after discovering state-sponsored meme farms in hostile countries focused on disrupting the United States elections in favor of US conservatives.

      Bro, u don’t need foreign authors to do that. The very same person that did and does that there, teach Bolsonaro and his MFs to do the same in Brazil. USA problem is not foreign authors, but inside job, even when them (Trump and his followers, backed by Steve Bannon and tons of money from people like Musk) hire external actors to do so.

      One of the biggest problems of USA lies in the fact that united stadians (sorry, I refuse to call them Americans and prefer to create a name) always think that their country is being attacked, harassed and assaulted by evil external actors that wants the end of USA when these actors are, mainly, internal. And most of the externals, also hired by internal actors.

      But, I admit that it is being nice to see the end of USA as an empire (even though they will die shooting and killing millions, like we are seeing in Ukraine, Gaza, Lebanon, Siria, Libia and many others)
