    I don’t think that this is the correct usage of this meme format given that Frank Grimes (in the case of the meme, I presume he’s representing the Democrat voters) was making a point that Homer (in the case of the meme, the "protest non-voters) is able to live a cushy and easy life despite, being lazy, constantly making stupid and careless mistakes, and being inconsiderate of others (in the case of the meme, that would be the “protest non-voters”, well, not voting and having a good life despite it). Frank goes crazy and ends up electrocuting himself, in the exact scene that the meme is showing, when he has a meltdown and starts impersonating homer, but the message that the meme is trying to convey, that the “protest non-voters” will “get what’s coming to them” doesn’t fit, as it shows the people that voted Democrat getting shafted, by the project 2025 logo being on the cables where Frank gets electrocuted, rather than the people that didn’t vote. The meme just twists the intended message around, imo.

      Exactly. This scene is literally Grimes having a meltdown over Homer essentially never having to feel the consequences of his actions and failing his way to success and a cushy lifestyle.

      If this were a meme about Israel, it would at least make more sense, as certain non-voters would have an excuse to be frustrated - but with it being about Project 2025 it just doesn’t fit at all, as voters are the frustrated ones here.
