This might upset people but when we joke about things I think a lot of times we normalize it. We do it as a means of coping with the insanity in front of us but in turn we often deescalate the overall seriousness of the issue. I don’t think this is particularly good for voter turnout. I feel like this was partly how Trump managed to win the presidency in 2016. People memed and laughed about the idea of it occurring, didn’t take it seriously and well it happened.
I apologize for being a stick in the mud, it’s not my intention to be the meme police or take away your joy but I agree with the sentiment that we shouldn’t trivialize what’s at stake by laughing it off.
Damn, I used to watch GB growing up and he was one of my favorites. Loved how even when he was getting his ass kicked on the field you could still see the guy smiling as he lined up for another play.
Fuck man why did you have to do this?
