    Slightly conflicted because I agree with the sentiment, but this is hardly a meme and has no humor to it.

      I think people now think memes are simply any image with text on it, which is not accurate.

        Technically it wasnt a meme till I uploaded it to lemmy. The definition of a meme is:

          I think that “spread” in that definition is meant to be past tense. Posting an image, at least originally, didn’t make it a meme. What made it a meme was people resharing over and over to the point it was like an icon that most people knew. Like Rick rolling was a meme. Whereas the billions of other posts that year which weren’t popular, were not.

      Yeah this belongs in its own channel (political memes or something)
