This is rank both-siderism bullshit. This is a funny meme about the hypocrisy of some candidates. It’s nothing like the absolute fabrication of events the republicans engage in en masse. Go spread your bullshit elsewhere, and stop making space for Nazis.

Lmao thanks for trying to paint me into a box I don't belong in. I have never and will likely never vote for any Republican candidate, especially any with ties to trump.

I'm not whataboutisming here, I'm suggesting that the OP hid context to paint a specific narrative. Even if I agree with that narrative (all R bad), it's gross to see explicit manipulation in action.

All sides should demand better. Memes that paint everyone with a broad brush are what caused us to be so hyper partisan.

I don’t fucking care about your life story when you’re literally making space for Nazis, moron. Your intent means less than nothing.

Please elaborate. How am I making space for Nazis?

Jesus fucking Christ. You’re engaging in both-siderist bullshit and presenting this harmless fucking meme in the same space as a Nazi agenda to fucking genocide trans people, destroy the climate and create a white ethnostate. That’s the kind of shit they tell lies to advance. Meanwhile this is… an accurate meme of the six people who are actually depicted. The only way this could possibly be construed as misleading is if you’re fucking dumb enough to decide that six people are actually eight.

It's pretty lame to hear that suggesting someone not stoop to the same level as their enemies is considered playing up both sides.

I can see that you'll be angry no matter what I say at this point. I hope you have a better tomorrow than today.
