Now that's funny!
Some people are so out of touch.
I am at the annual retreat with my wifes ultra liberal (RESIST! type) family and they keep talking about how it is noticibly hotter every summer because of AGW.
I don't engage because other than their irrational hatred of Trump they are really nice people.
My cartoons and memes are based on reality and facts

Same this is part of the reason liberals are so out of touch with reality. Lot of liberals go completely mental if you don't go along the thier propaganda 100%. If I troll right wingers they might argue thier side but that's as far as it goes, can't say the same with liberals they just go mental and will cut off communications and years of friendship over stupid differences.

You have.
It's hard to understand how some people go on and on about how bad Trump is. The false narrative of Trump's Russian collusion for one.
In reality it was Hillary who colluded with the Russians to win the election. She lost.
I could go on and on.

Got any real stories about Trump and Trump supporters to corealate to your Memes?
Because that's the backbone of Memes you know. They have to be built on the foundation of Truth. Otherwise, that's Propaganda, Propaganda, Yes Propaganda that's the Word You're looking for. That's all your posts are.

No kid ever died trying to make a dangerous illegal border crossing without irresponsible parents or child traffickers putting the kid in that position.

The irony of this statement is lol.
If you truly believe that your memes are materially more reality based / honest, this might be a good moment to wake up and acknowledge how strong your bias really is. Subconscious bias will lead you to see your side as more honest and genuine, while the other side is seen as being stupid, fake, dishonest etc... it's not just a political thing. Perhaps you've read up on this psychology topic a bit as it pertains to human in-group / out-group favoritism, and how it leads to prejudice and racism? It usually starts by observing real, truthful facts which support your stance. Then, at some point you conclude that your group is just plain superior, and you kinda condemn the other group. After that point, objectivity is not realistic, but what's more sinister is that you may feel objective.
It's not totally your fault, as much of your bias is likely due to the bias in your information sources. But, being aware of info bias and not caring - that is your fault (not wanting to step our of your bubble).
My cartoons and memes are based on reality and facts and intended either for literate reality based folks or for you and others who might one day step out of your bubble.

I'm not so sure you do. I think this "trump is bad and so are his supporters" is a perspective sold by the left to try to make leftists "feel better" and "stay the course" while trying to shame the right. It's very effective.
Politically, it seems very convenient to say Trump supporters are just terrible people. It's certainly much better than admitting that most people support Trump because of policies and action, like they should. To admit that Trump wins on policy and action, and not on identity, despite all the things he says and does, and all the negative news, would be to admit that leftist policies and candidates really really suck a fat one right now. So, they instead just say "omg deplorables".
Most presidential elections in recent history result in a pretty close 50% voting dem, 50% rep - obviously due to policy since most elections have always been white male vs white male. But, with Trump, this long history of policy based voting was abandoned in favor of racism and hatred based voting? Cmon....wake up, you know that doesn't make sense. Clearly, some smaller fraction people vote based on identity, but this is nothing new. Both Obama & Trump definitely got some identity votes, and I think the left's platform is FAR more invested in identity politics.
btw - Characterizing a single Trump supporter, or even a small group of them, does not characterize the group.
And, you definitely pivoted away from the topic of memes. The message I got is "trump is bad, and his supporters are bad, so memes they post are bad, so my view of my memes is correct."
I think I understand pretty well the Trump supporters.

That cartoon above is incorrect.
What we actually do is 1. manage our investments 2. travel 3. enjoy the company of females 4. explore various beaches along the coast (not usually the gulf coast) 5.engage in boating, sailing, etc. 6. wonder how envious losers can go through life being so miserable.
I don't watch Fox news, why would I? I prefer to watch something more interesting or entertaining depending on my mood.

Don't forget, Russia hacked DNC emails because crowdstrike, an alphabet funded left-wing activist group said so. The FBI don't need to see no stinking servers, no way. Crowdstrike said so.

Oh boy. You can't not know that you are spreading lies.
Question: US is racist compare to what other countries? What countries are less racist than US? Japan, Mexico, Russia, China, Poland, Germany, South Africa?
Answer: US is among the least racist countries out there. Probably the least racist among those of geopolitical significance. By any objective measure it's also trending in the proper direction. It's been so good lately that agenda-oriented folks had to resort to fake crimes.
Patrick must've been scratching his head for years, how to combine freedom of speech with existence of propaganda trolls.

America is just about the least racist country in the world. Definitely near the top.
The most racist country? India.

When you do not have an argument, claim racism. After all, even Nancy Pelosi does not like women of color.

Illiterate meme. Trump would never say, "our country has no spirt." or "we don't have a county anymore".
Ignorant? Uneducated? Or both?
