Political Memes

The court jester was very often the vehicle by which a king would learn of any discontent among his people. Humor and politics are like Batman and Robin.

Soldiers makes jokes during WW2. Cheer up. Make jokes. Kill Nazis. Defend the US Constitution. Make America Nazi-Free Again!

Don't read it, then.
Try a sub that doesn't have MEME in the title.

Humor is important.

Laughter doesn't erase our better sensibilities about real topics. In fact, it's the sweetener that makes that medicine go down. Otherwise, all we have is the horror of stark and bleak realities that have already pushed many of us to the edge of burnout. These people aren't making light of our situation, or being insensitive about the plight of those effected, they're being kind while reminding us of the core message: there are people in charge that believe in cruelty as a valid form of governance. Without humor, we'd all be looking away most of the time as it's simply too much.

Also, your mind will work overtime to block things that hurt or shock you. But you're far more likely to remember a good laugh. Jokes get the message out, and help make it stick.

Too bad
