So not even the protesters are taking this shit seriously…
America is doomed.
Memes are what get spread around the internet. Spreading the message of the protest is the point. If it takes humor to get different generations to coalesce, then so be it.
I don’t see many under 40 listening to NPR and 60 minutes, got to try different methods.
Having humor about something doesn’t mean not taking it seriously
Relevant evergreen post from AOC
Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
Bernie is too old now, I want AOC to run for president.
Not sure if she will, but she could now actually do that in 2028. She just now reached the minimum age to run for president (35)
Outcome aside, I’m kind of glad she didn’t. I think she’d really shine on the campaign trail if she had the time to explain WHY X, Y, and Z are good. Too many people don’t know who she is or what she stands for - and too many people have only been exposed to her through unflattering pictures in memes
She actually could have done so this time around, age-wise: being born on October 13th, she turned 35 before election day.
Probably would have won too, if the Dem leadership would have encouraged her to run rather than machinegunning themselves and thus the country in the foot 😮💨
I don’t think she would have won. She’s surprisingly unknown to the voters who don’t really follow politics.
When it reaches a point where your opposition is belligerent to grievance, mockery is the best option.
Telling others how to protest is fuckin lame as hell

He doesn’t get custody of Doge. He may spell it the same way, but his is pronounced “dodgy”, regardless of what he wants to call it
Is there a Lemmy community for this?
Not that I’m aware of. Closest I can find are Mastodon accounts like @[email protected]
There’s a large communities for it on Reddit (r/50501) and Bluesky (like @50501movement.bsky.social)

Should be written on the guillotines
Today?
Wait there’s a .one now? What the actual fuck ICANN‽ Are we gonna do all the numbers in all the languages? Where does the extortion scam end?
Nice to see it’s recurring, i went to the one near me on the 5th
Yes, they have another one ongoing today for a No Kings day (President’s day)
They had their first on Feb 5th and there’s likely more to come in the future
The 28th is a day to look into it you don’t know yet. I was doing my part today in Sacramento!
