If you say “I’m not voting ❤️” your excuse better be not living in America, under 18 or you legally cannot vote for whatever reason. Now is not a time to be apolitical.

NPR just ran a story about how undecided voters are less than 1% of the voting population so the current tactic is to disenfranchise voters into not voting. They're flooding social media with trolls and bots talking about how they're not voting because their preferred candidate didn't win the primaries, about how nothings going to change and there's no point in voting. And the thing is, we know how social media works. People get stuck in these echo chambers and have those ideas reinforced over and over again by hundreds of different (fake) voices. It's not directly voter suppression, but it smells very heavily of it.

So like. Don't fall into their lies. Vote like our lives depend on it, because they do.

I'm not American, but like. This needs a signal boost.

FUCKING VOTE

it-begins-with-rain

If you don't vote, you are saying you're fine with white supremacy.

If you don't vote, you are saying you are fine with an America of censored internet and increased surveillance.

If you don't vote, you are saying the rich should only get richer while the poor get poorer.

If you don't vote, you are supporting the suppression of POC, LGBT, and disabled or ill people as this administration pushes more and more sickeningly discriminatory policies against those groups.

If you don't vote, you are enabling the rise in violent gun crimes, since this administration only wants more guns in more untrained hands.

If you don't vote, you are saying that corporations are worth more than people.

If you don't vote, you reward a petulant child and his army of sycophants who use YOUR money to line THEIR pockets.

If you don't vote, you are saying that science is not real.

If you don't vote, 200,000 people dead will not be the moral outrage it should be but rather "Remember when the death toll was that low?"

If you don't vote, you are not allowed to be outrages or offended by anything that happens moving forward. Not by the freedoms we lose, the lives we lose, or the harm done to millions of people.

If you don't vote... you damn this country.

Can we PLEASE Hopepunk this motherfucker of a country and say, “Yes, we have a seriously fucked up past and a terrifyingly fucked up present, but we believe that we CAN and WILL make a better future for everyone who lives here, and we’re going to start building that future RIGHT NOW using any means possible, including the relatively simple act of VOTING, instead of allowing our country to fall fully into an authoritarian dictatorship” ?

WE’VE HIT TERMINAL MEME

I’ve said “I hate this” so many times on this website, and never actually meant it, because “I hate this” is just shorthand for ‘this is an example of a meme given a twist I wasn’t expecting with intent to surprise’. Which is, in of itself, a meme on this site. God damn it.

But this… This is something else.

The rapidity of a meme’s introduction to its zenith to its decline is so rapid that in ten years, you’ll need a damn twenty-page manual to explain this. It’ll be as unfunny and hard to explain as jokes in Shakespeare plays, except even more inexplicable because fuck, at least Shakespeare’s jokes are usually about anal or fucking your mother, good wholesome sex jokes we can all get behind.

For the love of fuck, how do you explain loss.jpg? How do you explain gun?

….I THOUGHT THIS WAS A YMCA REFERENCE

pagesofkenna

it is a YMCA reference - that’s one of the 6 memes being represented here

ok let me see if i can break this down easily. YMCA is the easiest place to start - the song itself has become a meme over time with people changing the lyrics to reference other pop cultural events. so YMCA is meme one (1)

this first lyric replacement (”take the breadsticks and run”) is a reference to the tumblr meme ‘stuffing breadsticks into my purse’. i think everyone remembers that one so i wont bother to explain it. that’s meme two (2)

“man door hand hook car door” is a meme of its own, a creepypasta from i dont remember when. it was a terrible stupid retelling of the generic ‘stuck in a car while hook handed man tries to kill us’ story so the stupid title caught on for memorability. that in and of itself is meme three (3)

‘gun’ is… yeah i dont know how to explain gun. long story short you add gun to the end of a phrase instead of what you expect the last word to be. its shock funny. its everywhere but its popular to add to “man door hand hook car door” for.. some reason? gun is meme four (4)

and the thing is, this four meme combo is something thats gone around before. meme combos are, itself, a meme. which means taking this meme combo and mixing in another meme actually becomes meme five (5)

which leaves us at loss.jpg. loss.jpg was a terrible bad comic supposed to be about some tragic event, but it was presented so poorly literally no one takes it seriously, and for some reason recreating the four-panel setup has become popular. so thats meme six (6)

(but i need to add that this is the greatest version of loss.jpg i think i’ve ever seen. the initial ‘young man’ lines up with the guy bursting through the door, and the shock meme ‘gun’ matches the shock scene of the woman in the hospital and idk if OP even thought about that but it makes this just so much better)

I wasn’t going to reblog this, but @pagesofkenna‘s comprehensive meme-by-meme annotation is a thing of beauty and should be shared.

captainlordauditor

average tumblr post contains one meme, this post, which contains six, is an outlier and should not be counted

japhers

it might also just be a coincidence due to loss.jpg’s format but the whole white minimalist four-panel setup is also suspiciously reminiscent of those early 2000’s rage comics
