I find it funny that younger people use Harambe for the pivot point. I thought shit seriously went downhill after 9/11…. Patriot Act and increased (overt) racism.
harambe has become a time marker like 9/11 was for the generation before.
The sheer fact that a gorilla dying is being used as an anchor period is kinda mind blowing.
Have you heard of the similar meme-theory that Shrek 1 was the last positive thing before it all went down?
You're speaking of the bipartisan Patriot Act?
Who supported it is irrelevant to me. I’m very much a believer that Democrats are controlled opposition. So that’s not the gotcha you think it is.
