Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but donβt intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Donβt post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

I'm sorry but none of this is real. There's no way anyone can possibly be this stupid. We are clearly living in a massive simulation where the programmers are taking bets over how fucking surreal they can make right wing politics before it stops being viable. Clearly our entire existence is a political science experiment for an unfathomably advanced civilization. There's no other explanation.
I think in general, anyone will do anything to make a buck. They are making money off of saying crazy, asinine things about sexuality, so they keep doing it.
In countries of extreme wealth disparity, people throw themselves in front of cars so their families get the wealthy person's insurance settlement. Making a public ass of yourself is less extreme than that.
Sure, but... This kind of content only works because a whole lot of people who don't have any financial incentive look at it and say "yeah, that makes sense to me." I don't think this is making money as shock content for liberals, and I don't think conservatives have the general media literacy to consume it ironically.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.
