Every Republican presidential since Reagan has dragged us into a war of some sort.

What does this even mean? The proportion of gen z trump voters was way lower than millennial trump voters in 2024

Regardless these arbitrary generational divisions are worse than meaningless

The meme also made millenials the manipulative villain too.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have a feeling the meme maker never watched the show.

Meme templates often evolve past their original context. A good example is Spider-Man with his glasses. People use it with Peter putting his glasses on to see clearly, but in the movie he had to take them off because his vision was better without them. But without the context of the scene that's (mostly) lost. (He looks sort of squinty with the glasses on, but still confused with them off.)

That one actually does bother me though.

As someone who served in both… yea. We all saw this coming for Iran. Gen Z buying into Trump and maga hurt a lot to watch.

GenX, who lived through the last war with Iran:

[–] homes@piefed.world 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

The GenXers and Boomers who lived through the war before that

You were supposed to zoom in more, here:

[–] homes@piefed.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sorry, I’m on my phone. I updated the pic. Good to go?

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I was just poking at you. ;)

And, if I’d been the one sitting in front of my Photoshop, it could’ve been the other way around. Have a good night!

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I love these wholesome exchanges.

[–] homes@piefed.world 4 points 1 week ago

You know, Reddit used to be this way, like 20 years ago. I miss those days, and that’s why I’m here. Well, I’m here for a bunch of other reasons, too, but, yeah. I also love these wholesome exchanges ❤️

Instead of Gen Z, let's just say every republican this term. He cheated, but a whole shit ton of people still voted for him. I don't think he needed to cheat.

I have yet to see someone use this meme properly once. This tells me not enough people watched the show and understand the context of their own fucking meme.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This is the first known use of this meme:

It's the way the two people appear, not whatever the original context of the scene was, that's relevant.

[–] Binturong@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I believe you meant misuse. Also that's a dumb meme saying nothing.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

How can you misuse a meme that never existed before?

that’s a dumb meme saying nothing.

Yeah, that's how it is with most memes. They're not meant to be taken seriously. Actually, there's a meme for that!

[–] Binturong@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago

I suppose that's all true, well played.

[–] jmill@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think many people assume it's Dr. Who, and if The Doctor is looking at you like that, ya done fucked up.

But very different context in Jessica Jones.

Low effort generationalism again.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

As opposed to high effort generationalism?

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Generalization are always wrong. Always. Every single time.

Only a sith deals in absolutes.

Just to remind us of the PNAC plan, that we're still in, despite that thinktank officially ending 20 years ago.
