The meme in question: https://twitter.com/squid_o_the_day/status/13544897278319697...
The person in question posted large amounts of images like this
- fraudulently said it was paid for by the campaign to elect the candidate
- specifically targeted people of colour that supported a non-conservative candidate
- told those people that they could text a number to vote instead of vote (which is not valid), and to avoid voting in person afterward
- therefore resulting in several thousand votes probably not being counted since they never voted, based on carrier logs
Like, yeah, you don't make "fake pretend money" that looks like the real thing and get away with it.
That's no different than setting up a "voting booth" in a black neighborhood so they don't go to a real voting booth. 100% deserve jail time for that.
Well, we’ve always been in the age of illegal memes in the sense relevant to the item in question, to wit, “but, I use a meme” has never been a defense to a crime.
Trolling aside, what does this outburst mean in relation to the image?
Decontextualize the subject to the point where it can be equated to something the left has done/previously supported.
Here, the left voted by mail in larger numbers than the right. That's how they interfered with the election, supposedly. Just like the sign is recommending voting from home.

A nuanced and evenhanded discussion just isn't conducive to our neutered attention spans or the desire for upvotes and clap-back repartee.
Unfortunately, I'm not fluent in Clickbaitian. Will someone who is please translate?
