Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t 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
Don’t 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

MODERATORS
As a Pennsylvanian I saw the writing on the wall leading up to the 2024 election. I grew up in a very conservative household, and my parents are still very pro-Trump. His reelection destroyed me, despite it seeming inevitable. How can a large chunk of this country not only not feel shame from this, but actively encourage and enjoy it?
Because your country is broken, and uncivilised
Stupidity is celebrated and worldliness and curiousity are viewed with fear and suspicion
Oh, and then there's the hatred...
But what do your parents say to those kind of posts? I'm genuinely interested. It's so bizarre to me.
my dad just sort of handwaves them away as "jokes" and aggressively refuses to engage any further than that
