Leftist Memes - Or lack thereof...

Getting back to a more traditional lefty style with this one:

Here's one they're really proud of. But the thing is, there was never a war for that... thing.

Nobody wanted him. Nobody "seized" him.

The right saw him being used in commie memes and just ignored it. Now we get articles pushing it like it's a real thing.

You can tell it's quality journalism when they use words like "Trumpism."

The thing about memes is they're supposed to be funny and make some kind of point. This is just using a mascot to attack others. And promote ANTIFA terrorism. Sure it's not as wordy as most lefty memes, but I'm still not sure it qualifies.
There's a mod on ResetEra who started using this mascot as an avatar.

You know, looking at this one, I have to wonder the significance of the numbers printed on the pill.

I mean... those numbers must mean something right? They wouldn't put them there for no reason. And since I personally don't know what they might mean, I'm gonna say they're a dogwhistle. For what? I don't fucking know, I'll let reddit come up with something. Probably involves planned parenthood, abortions, stem cell injections, and something really gay.
 
I now can see why Pepe is so appealing.

Pepe's the relatable catharsis that the poster emits. The witty catharsis that doesn't take itself seriously. Gritty doesn't have that. Gritty only exists to bring a political message and say it's "witty and funny" when it only pales to imitation.
Pepe is also a unique character design wise. You're gonna expect a funny out of a weird green frog with big lips even if the Pepe meme posted doesn't make sense. As for Gritty, he looks like an obnoxious (like it's message) and downright creepy looking rejected Muppet.
