Welcome to politcal memes!

The idea that memes 'pressure' people to vote is kinda funny but the idea that memes pressure politicians to be less evil is knee-slapping hilarious.
TIL commercials directed at kids are meant to pressure the kids to drive the themselves to the store and purchase their own lucky charms.
Parent-child is a pretty laughable analogy for politician-public. But memes are kind of like little tantrums so I guess meme harder and maybe some politician will put a binky in your mouth ;)
Maybe it's a silly analogy. Maybe i'm a baby. Maybe i'll get a binky in my mouth.
Maybe i've forgotten my point.
No wait, now I remember: maybe if I show lemmings that their little echochamber isn't as bulletproof as they thought, they'll realize they can't count on people just holding their noses and voting for their genocidal candidate in November. Maybe then they'll stop fucking around and actually do some political organizing.
You're changing the world one lemmy meme at a time! I'm so proud of you!
Everybody memes, no one quits!
