Surely there's no implied political message in this one.

To be fair, the blue one just said it would burn if touched, but did not define that burning meant pain and suffering.

I think the same could be said about politics too. We call it fascism, but don't actually define the everyday pain points someone would experience under fascism.

People are gonna keep beating the dead horse but you're right. 50% of Americans are reading at or below a sixth grade level. 30% are functionally illiterate. Trying to rely on those people knowing what fascism is was a losing move. Expecting any of these people to think critically about the media they consume is a non-starter.
