I know you won't care, but to anyone else curious what I mean when I specified "Russian"

I'm aware of the existence of Russian "meme warfare" though I think its effect on politics in America is severely overstated.

But uh, how is this meme that you're complaining about a "Russian meme". Or are you just under the delusion that all political memes are Russian or something? How is making fun of Desantis for the pudding thing something Russians would do?

I dont know for fact, but I treat any political meme like it might. This combined with it not being relevant to the discussion would make me prefer to just not have them at all

I appreciate your comment though, it challenged assumptions without being egregious

Bro first of all it dont really matter what you want. Second of all it dont think its really healthy to assume any political meme you see is of russian origin lol thats bizarre and incredibly weird
