  1. π‘΄π’†π’Žπ’†π’” must make an effort at humor

Webster's Dictionary defines "meme" an image or video that's been creatively edited for laffs. Unedited screencaps of text tweets, Onion articles, or political cartoons are not memes. Exceptions made for occasional [CONTEXT] posts: unedited newsworthy media that can act as fodder for new memes.

  1. Memes must π’Žπ’‚π’Œπ’† 𝒂𝒏 𝒆𝒇𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒕 at humor

Memes should be decent-looking, clever, and show some creativity (including the title). No sloppy editing. No watermarks. No reposts.

  1. Memes must make an effort at π’‰π’–π’Žπ’π’“

Memes should be funny first and foremost. Not angry, preachy, or insulting. No unironic #hashtags. If your meme is mainly promoting or advocating or WAKING PEOPLE UP, ur doing it rong. NSFW content is fine, but no uncensored porn/violence.

  1. No personal attacks

It's politics -- folks are gonna argue! Just do it respectfully. Hostility and vulgar insults are subject to removal with a warning, while repeat offenders may be banned. Memes should not target individual users. No racism/misogyny/*phobia/other bigotry. For harassing PMs, block the user or report serious threats.

  1. No brigading or disinformation

Do not link to specific posts or users directing others to vote. Do not link to stuff here from elsewhere doing so, either. If you suspect brigading, report evidence to the mods. Unsubstantiated claims cannot be acted on. Activity on other communities is not brigading. Disagreeing with you is not brigading. Accusations in the comments are subject to removal. Blatantly misleading posts will be tagged and debunking info stickied if provided.

  1. Submissions must relate to a presidential election

This can be any election from throughout U.S. history. It cannot be a gubernatorial, senatorial, or other election unless that election involved a future president and is presented in context of their presidency or their election. The 2024 election is ramping up, but we encourage users to branch out.

This seems like it's giving them a lot more credit than they deserve. Most Trump supporters aren't just racist. They also hate the poor, anyone who is not strictly heterosexual, people from other countries (even the white ones), anyone who tries to work towards any kind of equality, women in general they really hate... It's a veritable cornucopia of hatred and voluntary ignorance!

Trump supporters: β€œimmigrants are stealing our jobs!”

Also Trump supporters: β€œimmigrants are lawless and living off the dole!”

While this is technically possible, I’d like to know what the Trump supporters are doing if they currently have no jobs and aren’t on social security. And where they come from, as everyone immigrated at some point, even the Aboriginal Americans.

Whenever I see a "Trump Vance 2024" sticker I think "Rapist Couch Fucker 2024"
