Lefties don't seem to realize that the entire purpose of a meme is to convey a message or joke in a short neatly packaged image. That's it. When you put a 300 word rant with no punchline into a meme format it fucking sucks and it isn't because right-wing people are too dumb to read it's because it's not a fucking meme. It's a rant. If you want to write an essay about how capitalism and racism are ruining America go write a blog don't make memes.

He'll probably demand Israel sign a ceasefire and weakly condemn whatever Iran does the same way he has with Hamas/Gaza, pissing off both sides in the process, which is why the donor class is getting pretty uppity with him and he keeps having to send people to Dearborn to calm the Muzzies down.
All the recent spate of conflicts in the Middle East over the last 3 years can be traced back to his state department doing as much as they can to re-establish the Iran Deal without pissing too many people off. He waived most of the sanctions Trump put in place, campaigned on pissing off the Saudis over supplying arms to Yemen and murdering Kashoggi, and has all but publicly told Netanyahu to stop being a tit harshing his vibe and wrap the war up already, it's starting to affect his polling numbers.

How a Black conservative activist arranged Donald Trump’s stop at an Atlanta Chick-fil-A

WASHINGTON (AP) — The scenes of Donald Trump being warmly greeted on Wednesday by a Black audience at a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Atlanta electrified conservative political media at a moment when Republicans hope to make inroads with Democrats’ most committed voting bloc.
Those widely shared moments were days in the making, an alliance between the Trump campaign, local activists, and students at some of the nation’s most iconic historically Black colleges.
Trump and his allies have argued he can win greater Black support due to his messages on the economy and immigration, a notion President Joe Biden’s campaign rejects. Some of his outreach to African Americans has played on racial stereotypes — promoting $399 branded sneakers or suggesting that Black people would empathize with his dozens of felony charges — and has offended longtime critics and some potential allies.
But the campaign considered Wednesday’s photo opportunity at Chick-fil-A, a stop he made on the way to a fundraiser in Atlanta, a win that produced viral videos shared by his allies and widely discussed by supporters and opponents alike.
“People find it so hard to believe that there are young Black people who would have loved the opportunity to meet Trump,” said Michaelah Montgomery, a conservative activist and founder of Conserve the Culture, which recruits and educates college students and young alumni at Atlanta’s historically Black colleges and universities.
Montgomery, a former Georgia Republican Party staffer who regularly coordinates events for HBCU students open to conservative ideas to meet with politicians and activists, said she was notified earlier in the week that Trump would visit Atlanta’s Vine City neighborhood during his trip to host a high-dollar fundraiser in the city. She notified a private group chat of students she uses to coordinate events and job opportunities about the president’s visit. She received immediate interest in appearing alongside him from around a dozen students.
“Everybody got together at around 9:30 in the morning and walked on over to the Chick-fil-A and then we sat there and waited until the president showed up,” said Montgomery, who can be seen embracing the former president in multiple viral videos. “It’s really disheartening to see that the media makes it seem like we just stumbled into a Chick-fil-A and he bought us milkshakes.”
Morehouse and Spelman Colleges are some of the foremost historically Black colleges in the nation, with long legacies of influential Black alumni in politics, business, religion and medicine. Martin Luther King Jr. and Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, who pastors King’s former church, are both Morehouse alumni. Stacey Abrams, the influential Georgia Democrat, attended Spelman. Alongside neighboring Clark Atlanta University and Morris Brown College, the academic collective on Atlanta’s West Side has served as a bastion of African American politics and culture since before the Civil Rights movement.
Trump’s overture to students at the iconic Black institutions both underscored his eagerness to show any potential inroads with Black voters as well as the campaign’s strategy of partnering with local conservative groups to marshal a crowd in communities outside the GOP base, a common political tactic with a slight twist.
“The location was beautifully selected and I think it had an incredible impact,” said Bill White, a businessman and longtime friend of the former president who organized the high-dollar luncheon for the Trump campaign in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood the same day. “I just thought the day was a resounding success for him and for the people in Georgia who loved him and wanted to come out and show their support.”
White added that Donald Trump “is very relatable to anyone, really. Atlantans got a chance to see that and show their love back” and he anticipates Trump will make major inroads with Black voters in Atlanta and across the country due to events like his Wednesday visit.
Jasmine Harris, a spokesperson for the Biden campaign, criticized the visit.
“Thinking Black voters relate to Donald Trump because he spent twenty minutes handing out freebies at a fast food restaurant is yet another insult to our intelligence – and perfect example of just how disingenuous Trump’s outreach to Black voters continues to be,” Harris said in a statement.
In March, 55 percent of Black Americans said they approved of Biden’s handling his job as president while 45 percent disapproved, according to a poll by the AP-NORC Center for Public Research. But a February poll found only a 25 percent favorability rating for Trump among Black Americans.
The visit was not met with fanfare by some on campus or the local community. Montgomery denounced the criticism some students who appeared in the viral videos alongside Trump have received both on campus and online.
“They are claiming that the students made a mockery of their institutions and saying that they are disrespecting their ancestors. It is really, really bad,” said Montgomery.

Eat the rich.
A perfect meme and slogan.
The problem isn't that they're left, but that they're educated stupid and love the sound of their own voices. The academic left, the book-educated left, whose first priority is enforcing doctrinal correctness through the use of intensely wordy jargon, wouldn't know a real meme if it came up and yelled "unite!" at them.

Abortion is a first world problem.
Trump should stop being a pussy and let AZ keep it's law.
If millions of pampered niggerfaggots want baby killing on demand, while the open border and crime epidemic widens and inflation rises.
So be it.

The blackpilling from the Meatball brigade about Trump this past week got so bad and was pushed so much by the twitter algorithm I had to mute people I didn't even follow. The purity spiral is just so autistic.
This will be silenced or this kid will be unpersoned for saying the obvious about Joepedo:
Lil' Marco being pushed as VP. He's not the worst name mentioned but he's also pretty obvious one who can be molded by the swamp the second they push Trump out on something fake. He'd be a 65% Mike Pence.
Baron Trump seems like a good kid, seems like his parents did well to have him weather the storm, he won't be like Reagan's shitty fag kids:

Even if you assume the twitter retard is correct, and that right-wing memes are simple racist idiot dogwhistles and left-wing points are 1,000 IQ elegant towers of theory and philosophy, he'd STILL be an idiot about it.
You'd get way more traction by creating a short, punchy meme that illustrates the most obvious disconnect/juxtaposition in modern life that your ideology addresses. If you hate capitalism, put some speech bubbles on a millenial office drone talking to their boss, being made to work overtime while their boss drives off in a sports car? You know, like Office Space did 25 years ago? You don't need to spell out your entire manifesto, just present something that makes people believe there's a problem, and they will naturally start to reason what a solution might be, and then you've got them.
This is basically what """right-wing memes""" do, they don't say "hate black people", it's some meme about crime statistics that point out to the viewer "huh there sure seems to be a discrepancy here" and leaves the conclusion up to them. Some might think, well it's about economics or poverty or oppression, but some will go "darkies bad". In the Office Space example, if you made a meme about that trying to point out that managerial classes are scamming the bottom workers, some people might think "no boomers are just better people" and ignore it but plenty of people might start to think "hmm maybe we ought to restructure society somewhat". If nothing else, you'd at least get WAY more people to pay attention than to your blogpost tweets numbered like "... 1/29 cont.", nobody is reading that shit except people who already agree with you.

IIRC, Steve Deace was firmly in the Never Trump camp in 2016. He's slowly coming around to the reality that the GOPe is full of charlatans that Jesus would've whipped for changing money in the temples. He just needs time.The blackpilling from the Meatball brigade about Trump this past week got so bad and was pushed so much by the twitter algorithm I had to mute people I didn't even follow.

A lot of normally left-left leaning voters are losing their fear of being ostracized for criticizing the party. It's going to get to the point where the only people who will be ostracized are the hard liners who'd normally be doing that shit to everyone else.This will be silenced or this kid will be unpersoned for saying the obvious about Joepedo:

Trump blasts loud music at his house according to Barron Trump, has multiple baby mamas, financial issues, arrested a few times, spends an inordinate amount of time on social media gossiping, and eats fried greasy food on the regularly. Bill Clinton was the first Black president, but Trump might be the second.
