      Presumably the joke is that the propaganda was written by the billionaires to make you scared enough to vote for them. But since they were writing propaganda anyway, might as well try to convince everyone they are handsome at the same time!

        The number of people trying to explain that the Bolsheviks weren’t actually like that depress me. Why are they in a political memes community if they don’t know that Trump and Musk are accusing Democrats of being communists based on their pretty milquetoast policies?

          I think if it had been placed in America it would have been better received. People don’t expect to have a serious conversation about critical reading skills in a meme community. They’re used to one liners and moving on.
