      Even then this meme strawmans both liberals and conservatives. If the goal is to make them confused and defensive then excellent job.

        tbf i think it perfectly encapsulates conservative/fascist rhetoric.

        liberal thinking is indeed a bit more complex.

        Cool, we agree. The meme is intended to create an emotional reaction, a negative emotional reaction, associated with these labels.

            Yes, memes, the preferred format of educators everywhere for everything, being perverted into some form of emotional communication without depth. Oh, the huge manatees!

              I’m just saying this meme doesn’t do what OP says it does. I never said memes are a substitute for education or theory.
