Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

Who are these people? They don’t read the bills they sign, no rudimentary understanding of music, and they talk about it as such like it’s normal.
The answer is they don't care. Facts are a plaything for conservatives.
What matters to them is power - and for that you don't need to be right, you just need to be convincing. That's why they engage so much in misinformation, blatant ragebait, etc..
They're fortunate sons.
It ain't me
Like their bible, it says whatever they want it to say even if it says the opposite of what they say it says.
Honestly, though, that's really fun to do in any argument.
Somebody else: "No, ChatGPT is really helpful and useful."
Me: "You can't trust a dang word from those chatbots. They're liars, all of 'em. Says so in the Bible!"
They're the salt of the earth, you know, morons
They are rewarded for pretending to know what they are talking about, and they are chosen for their loyalty. Zero awareness or intelligence.
Many of the people that make it into politics are there for the sake of power. Governance and whatever political sports team they wear a jersey for is secondary. That's how you get varying levels of knowledge about what a government is/does, none of the application for it, and lots of political theater. There are a few that actually care and legitimately try, but they're so booooooring and lame and no one actually wants to hear news coverage over legislation. Media and politicians care about actually cool things like that one outrageous thing some other politician said or some vague inactionable speech about why you should elect them.
Make Politics Boring Again!
Empty husks of human beings, willing to say whatever the people with the money want them to say
Probably the same idiots that believe rage against the machine went woke at some point in their career.
Like Star Trek. As opposed to growing up in the woke Petri dish and living there until woke turned into a political word.
