    This is a class of meme which I refer to as liberal porn. It has no message, it does not push for improving the lives of others, all it does is insult Trump and his supporters.

    This is occupy Democrats level content. Let’s actually post good political memes that have some meaning to them beyond orange man bad.

      Just wanted to say I find it hilarious that both democrats and republicans use the term “liberal” as an insult for the other. It’s comedy gold. As a foreigner, it took me ages to understand what that term was supposed to mean because of it, but now, oh man!

      But yes, I do agree, this is a low quality joke with little to no substance. Would be better served if it weren’t political at least. Some 3 stooges like thing.

        Democrats don’t use liberal to insult Republicans. Leftist use it to insult Democrats.

          Oh? Every time I heard a leftist say it, they seemed to be describing an ancap strawman. And I’ve never heard a democrat describe them selves as liberal and never seen a self described liberal even remotely want to associate with democrats.
