(35,037 posts)We've had a joke of an "election" that has been used by media and politicians to say that if you want healthcare and education for all then you're unreasonable, but at the same time the alt/far righters, the Adam Lanza and Dylann Roof Wannabes, as well as the so-called three percenters who think "The Purge" is a how-to video are being normalized by this same sham.
There was nothing good tasting about trying to turn Obama wearing a tan suit or putting mustard on a hamburger, not to mention the whole birth certificate thing, into -gate scandals while Trump not wetting himself or not falling to the floor kicking and screaming like a toddler having a tantrum as signs he's the greatest President ever.
There's been nothing but bad taste for a while now. Maybe we need to spit it out as the OP is doing.

(28,979 posts)where memes are concerned. Anonymity vs. being targeted. I go back and forth on that one.
On edit: I get that it is gallows humor, and I am willing to acknowledge that aint funny to all. We west coasters especially unnerved by the Trump bellicosity and bombast. But your meme is in the same vein as Dr. Strangelove which Kubrick made at the height of the cold war. I actually recall seeing it as a kid at a SAC (Strategic Air Command) base. The airmen were howling, falling over laughing, shouting out how real it was. And most times a film went two days at that post. That was one that went two weeks.
