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
It began with WWI, beards hindered gas mask sealing. That led to the rise in clean shaven being seen as professional as well as the origin of the postage stamp mustache (as made memorable by a certain Austrian and an actor who hated him)
America loved beards in the 19th century and mustaches were in in the early 20th. Facial hair trends come and go, we were into clean shaven looks in the 18th century, and even wore the stupid wigs the brits liked then.
