It seems to me that they try to mock just as much as anyone else. They just aren’t as funny for some reason.For the same reason that "political" "comedians" aren't particularly funny... the goal is to validate the audience's own views and receive applause and validation in return rather than to actually be funny.
They're not even really mockery. Sure, they're being insulting to the other party, but the goal is not the wit or the amusement or even making a point, the goal is the insult. Pro-Trump people typically use memes to mock the opposition, anti-Trump NPCs almost always use memes as a sort of voodoo doll for the opposition.
I think the issue is less the left-ness of it and more how seriously they take themselves. The best ‘pro-Trump’ memes tend to also rub Trump a bit, but in a kinder way. If that makes sense.A good meme is funny, pithy and often observational. Leftists are humourless, verbose and must deliberately supress their observational abilities in order to sustain their false reality.
TL; DR leftism is antithetical to good memes.
