SOME SILLY EAR HATE MEMES
So we here at Sloppy Memes challenged a million incels to make TRUMP EAR HATE MEMES and here’s what happened!!
Stochastic Terrorism
Over a year ago representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was doing the rounds on cable news channels trying to educate the public on a new threat she had identified known as stochastic terrorism, defined as “the public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act, which is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted.”
Her main point being that she was the victim of the stochastic terrorism because Republicans were relentlessly smearing her and she was getting death threats. It is likely right-wingers could be dumb enough to believe Sean Hannity when he tells them that AOC is trying to destroy America with a radical socialist green new deal agenda. They don’t even realize that she has sold out to the Democratic establishment long ago, and goes along totally with the Biden/Harris neoliberal (neoliberalism is capitalism on steroids) policies. As New York Magazine said “AOC is just a regular old Democrat now.”
After pushing this point for awhile no one really bit. It was like her push of the term “Latinx,” — even Latinos — especially Latinos — didn’t like it. I thought it was nonsense at the time and made this meme:
But after eight years of demonizing Trump we have a lot of Democrats who wish the shooter didn’t miss. During the trump years journalists saw Trump as such a threat to the norms of society they thought it was justified to lie to the American public — like about how he collaborated with Putin to fix the 2016 election — in order to get him out of office. Never mind that he mostly governed like a typical-tax-cuts-for-the-rich Republican — something about his mean tweets, braggadocio and a resistance to starting wars was too much to bare. Most people think that traveling back in time and killing Hitler would be justified; so if you are told on a daily basis by news sources you think are credible that Donald Trump is the next Adolf Hitler — wouldn’t you think killing him is justified?
Media personalities like Rachel Maddow have been saying they literally think Trump will put them in concentration camps if re-elected, even though he didn’t try to do that the first time.
And to the “enemy of democracy” point: it is evident that Trump would have been perfectly fine winning in 2020 the same way Bush did in 2000. If he could get some judges to put a state’s close-call electoral votes in his column, even though it was bogus or votes were qoute unqoute “found,” he would have been totally happy with that. But he came in second in too many states and his legal cases were too incompetent and far-fetched for even conservative judges to seriously consider. Trump just isn’t as good at coups as Bush was. And even though Bush led a successful coup, he has strangely never been called a threat to democracy the way Trump has been. Still, after all his protests about a fixed election Trump did still leave office when he had to. Because Trump is not stronger than the system in place. Trump does not have a personal army he could lead a coup d’etat with. If he wins this year there will be another election in 2028, and people saying otherwise know it.
Democrats don’t believe in Democracy either. If they did Bernie Sanders would be finishing his second term right now. The Democratic elites would rather lose to Trump than have any socialist policies enacted in America. In 2016 after Bernie Sanders won the popular vote in Iowa and New Hampshire the majority of the delegates were given to Hillary Clinton anyway because super delegates were ordered to vote for her. On the eve of Super Tuesday in 2020 the hopes of progressives were squashed a second time. In a coordinated move to take out Sanders, orchestrated by Barack Obama, all moderate Democrats dropped out and endorsed Biden while Elizabeth Warren agreed to stay in the race to act as a spoiler to split the progressive vote. It was done this way because the oligarchy decided to appoint Joe Biden. In 2024 Democrats refused to have an open primary because they wanted to push through a candidate they knew was going through significant cognitive decline. Then when they could no longer hide that fact, they switched the candidate out to Kamala Harris without a primary. Even though in 2020 she dropped out of the race early after polling at 3.4 percent nationally.
But back to AOC. It turns out she had a point about stochastic terrorism but she got an example she wasn’t looking for. If Trump’s rhetoric is violent and racist wouldn’t that mean the bullet would be heading Biden’s way? Instead the bullet flew towards Trump’s head and Democrats were disappointed it missed it’s mark.
You may be saying, but wait . . . the shooter’s motivation is still not clear. If he was put up to it by the CIA or if he was just a cipher who wanted to shoot someone famous than than that is not necessarily related to stochastic terrorism. But why did Kyle Glass get cheers from the crowd when he said he wished the shooter didn’t miss?Because the average Democrat literally wants Trump dead and if it wasn’t this guy it could have been someone else.
THAT SLIPPERY SLOPED ROOF
My first idea for a meme was fairly on-the-nose about the facts of what happened on the ground during the attempted assassination. And this is the same point that many conservative memes focus on. The secret service had almost an hour’s notice that there was a suspect with a rifle and did nothing. As he was crawling on the roof bystanders were shouting for the secret service to do something. They dithered and only neutralized him after he had shot the former president.
These facts lead to conspiracy minded speculation. The kid who did it was a blank-slate loner type, the kind agencies like the FBI/CIA might recruit. He had no social media profile and no clear motive. Was it in an inside job done by agencies that have repeatedly failed to prosecute him through Russiagate or other criminal cases? Another possibility is that the shooter acted alone but the secret service did not protect Trump on purpose. Either they were ordered to stand down or the FBI/CIA purposely assigned Trump their worst agents. The third option is that the secret service are an incompetent declining American institution. They are falling apart like Boeing airplanes in the sky.
But I was not the only person to have this idea for a meme. I found several had already been posted with the snipers talking to each other. And that slope . . . that damn slope . . .
Ok, I think you get the point.
BUT WHAT DO THE LIBERALS THINK?
It’s not supposed to a political subreddit, but AdviceAnimals turned out to be the barometer of what mainstream liberals are thinking. Now that Harris is nominated, they are even posting memes criticizing people who think the Democrats should have an open primary. The idea of the sub is pictures of animals or people making awkward confessions, giving unusual advice or making eccentric observations. But all of a sudden it has become a liberal politics sub and the moderators aren’t doing anything to stop it. Well, here’s their reaction to the Trump shooting:
Overall these memes show a lack of creativity and a desire to take out the opposition through misinformation and a meanness of spirit. None of them are curious to the reasons behind such a historic security failure. Sorry to repost this nonsense.
‘Nuff said!
