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.

That's what they said, "right wing content".
The only measure by which "we need police to protect people from criminals" is less toxic than "we need to stop migration to preserve the white race" is how palatable it is to centrists. Both promote causing harm to millions of people while pretending to be necessary for the safety of you and me, tricking people into supporting egregious violence against vulnerable minorities.
I'm not your mom, I can't tell you how to resolve your cognitive dissonance, but the boundary you're proposing is merely a popularity contest.
This is the kind of toxic content I was referring to yes. People can claim to be leftist and generate toxic misinformation, people can also be conservative but go on about their lives while respecting others. You may not be my mom but you definitely need one.
Also I should probably note, I don't feel like discussing the distinction between these two with a person who enters the topic with insults. So have fun running around by yourself.
