A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

If he voted for Trump he's not conservative, and neither is MAGA.
splitting hairs there dude
Absolutely not splitting hairs - MAGA getting away with posing as "conservative" is a big deal. Genuine conservatism in America has become almost totally submerged.
Sure but the framing for conservatism in this thread is PragerU who absolutely see it all as the same thing.
Just like I can go into topics about digital games and rightfully point our bluray and dvd are digital media but all I'm really doing is shouting at clouds like an old man about a technicality.
there are lots of people whining "they're not conservative, they're authoritarian" who are both conservative and authoritarian. it's not like a lot of them aren't both.
"Lots of people" whining doesn't change the fact that what we call modern conservatism is no longer conservative. If you aren't going to make an actual point I'm done.
gonna be honest, the only folk i know who split those hairs are folk whining that, and i quote my idiot brother "modern conservatism has left me behind"
