If you don't vote, you are saying you are fine with an America of censored internet and increased surveillance.

If you don't vote, you are saying the rich should only get richer while the poor get poorer.

If you don't vote, you are supporting the suppression of POC, LGBT, and disabled or ill people as this administration pushes more and more sickeningly discriminatory policies against those groups.

If you don't vote, you are enabling the rise in violent gun crimes, since this administration only wants more guns in more untrained hands.

If you don't vote, you are saying that corporations are worth more than people.

If you don't vote, you reward a petulant child and his army of sycophants who use YOUR money to line THEIR pockets.

If you don't vote, you are saying that science is not real.

If you don't vote, 200,000 people dead will not be the moral outrage it should be but rather "Remember when the death toll was that low?"

If you don't vote, you are not allowed to be outrages or offended by anything that happens moving forward. Not by the freedoms we lose, the lives we lose, or the harm done to millions of people.

im so delirious i found this on facebook and read it as yeet and now this is the funniest thing in my life

But this… This is something else.

The rapidity of a meme’s introduction to its zenith to its decline is so rapid that in ten years, you’ll need a damn twenty-page manual to explain this. It’ll be as unfunny and hard to explain as jokes in Shakespeare plays, except even more inexplicable because fuck, at least Shakespeare’s jokes are usually about anal or fucking your mother, good wholesome sex jokes we can all get behind.

ok let me see if i can break this down easily. YMCA is the easiest place to start - the song itself has become a meme over time with people changing the lyrics to reference other pop cultural events. so YMCA is meme one (1)

this first lyric replacement (”take the breadsticks and run”) is a reference to the tumblr meme ‘stuffing breadsticks into my purse’. i think everyone remembers that one so i wont bother to explain it. that’s meme two (2)

“man door hand hook car door” is a meme of its own, a creepypasta from i dont remember when. it was a terrible stupid retelling of the generic ‘stuck in a car while hook handed man tries to kill us’ story so the stupid title caught on for memorability. that in and of itself is meme three (3)

‘gun’ is… yeah i dont know how to explain gun. long story short you add gun to the end of a phrase instead of what you expect the last word to be. its shock funny. its everywhere but its popular to add to “man door hand hook car door” for.. some reason? gun is meme four (4)

and the thing is, this four meme combo is something thats gone around before. meme combos are, itself, a meme. which means taking this meme combo and mixing in another meme actually becomes meme five (5)

which leaves us at loss.jpg. loss.jpg was a terrible bad comic supposed to be about some tragic event, but it was presented so poorly literally no one takes it seriously, and for some reason recreating the four-panel setup has become popular. so thats meme six (6)
