Yes, I remember that 4chan post but I didn't want to just fully rehash that because I don't like repeating what others say ad verbum as if it was what I came up with.There's also that oft mentioned thing abut how the left communicates completely fundamentally differently than memes. I am not doing the explanation justice, but basically leftist communication requires vast amounts of assumed reality (that may not actually have anything to do with reality). It's why when they try and meme they add paragraphs and paragraphs of text into it -- because they have to set up the assumed reality constraints. Without them, you might not take away the approved and intended thought-reaction to the meme.
A meme mocking drag queen story hour takes 3-5 words, cause it's absurd pedophilia and child abuse on it's face and all you have to do is point to it and go "shit's fucked yo." A meme defending drag queen story hour requires paragraphs of text, because you have to insert the assumptions that it's not evil, that they're saintly victims, that while not homosexuals nor trans they're part of the "allyship" and thus deserve the same protected status, that it's a good thing to groom children, etc etc. Completely different and incompatible communication styles.
fresh dank memes you stole from people using it as a way to say you're a tyrant.Probably trying to secure the zoomer votes. with the whole "Yes we are the hip and totally cool political party with these fresh dank memes broskis."
Big agree, the Democrat establishment is as artificial as it gets in terms of "culture". Anyone remember Elizabeth Warren's "Meme-Team"? The Bernie memes were also weak as fuck, albeit not nearly as atrocious.Man, I love this shit. First the obviously synthetic NAFO movement where a bunch of major leftist state heads from Europe are openly associating with the "movement", and now this. Leftists saw how effective all the right wing memes were during the 2016 election, like Shadilay, meme magic and all that, and they want to try and do the same with their election to get the votes.
What they don't understand though is that the right wing memes started naturally. Trump supporters on 4chan liked Trump, they started making memes about him because they liked him, and it went from there. The right wing memes began naturally and were a form of affirmation of support for a candidate the people who initiated the memes had initially. They think that memes can be forced, and that people like a candidate because of the memes, and not that the memes happen because the people already like a candidate.
People fucking despise Biden, they want him out of the office and would rather have Trump back just because he's the only other option and he's a better face for the United States of fucking America than a senile demented walking corpse that can't do a proper public speech, and you're not gonna suddenly sway people into believing that Biden is actually cool and people should vote for him. You had four years to make people believe that much like you made people believe Trump was the antichrist and he should be executed.
This is why the left can't meme. They don't understand the nature of memes, that they happen because of what people already believe or because people laugh at our reality, and that they're the result of people's beliefs, not the cause. To them, it's a political propaganda weapon that can be manufactured, but to push their agenda, like everything, can only be synthetic, not natural, so it always inevitably fails.
Like Elizabeth Warren's "meme team" four years ago? Maybe something like that.I appreciate the attempt, though. In fact, I hope a department of memery gets formed and we get more gems like this one.
at least kane will be alive in four years, because as we know KANE LIVES KANE LIVES KANE LIVES KANE LIVES KANE LIVES KANE LIVES KANE LIVES KANE LIVES KANE LIVES KANE LIVES KANE LIVESKane would be a better leader. PEACE THROUGH POWER
They treat memes the same way they treat any cultural element they touch - Rather than recognizing the wants and needs of the people involved, they just dictate a goal, attempt to replicate the outcome of having done so, and call it a day. The left can't meme for the same reason the left can't reduce crime, They don't understand the source and have no interest in actually engaging with it, they just want the result now.This is why the left can't meme.

It's so weird in that a guitarist I work with got this about two years ago. He's in his 50s. Really sad as he used to sing as well and he can't sing anymore.He has Spasmodic Dysphonia. A rare neurological disease that makes your voice spasm uncontrollably. Nothing you can do about it sadly.
Started happening at the age of 46. He gives a rundown of it here starting at 1:30

Also, I used to teach at a music school in the 90s. I'm still friendly with my old boss and he just developed this last year. He's in his early 60s. Both of them sound just like Kennedy when they talk.
I'm assume it's something that affects people later in life. I know you said it's rare but it's so weird that in the past two years I know two people this has affected. And it's something I've never seen before.
Unless things have changed since law school, the present Congress can't pass spending bills that would somehow bind a future Congress. So it seems legally dubious that the 117th Congress now sitting could attach a condition to a spending bill that would have to be passed by the 118th Congress purporting to bind the executive. And spending bills are simply bills giving the executive the authorization to spend. The legislative branch, under the separation of powers doctrine, force the executive to spend what they authorize.The funding bills have automatic Trump Impeachment built in to them, just in case he tries to stop the gravy train in 2025.
Yeah, the legal theory and principles and precepts go right out the window when you're talking about Washington. To paraphrase Thucydides, the governing class do what they want, and the electorate suffer what they must.As for it being legal, it doesn't matter if it's legal or not. It just has to give them an excuse to initiate lawfare for his entire 2nd term, preventing the gravy train from being stopped via injunctions from Hawaii judges and wasting his time and capital to prevent him from doing anything. They literally do not care if it's constitutional or legal. The only way the constitution can stop them is if you rolled it up and beat them to death with it.
