Great meme. You forgot the most important topic imo tho.

(So now I want to link to my meme. Am I allowed or not? It would end with: i/54toti

Dont understand the terms. Spam is “exclusively linking to your own content”. So thatd be spam? Really? Secondly don’t understand the linkback stuff. What would it be in this case

Biden putting out the fire? Yeah right. Still uses trump as a scapegoat, makes comments about Banning assault weapons and extended mags after every shooting even though those aren't used.

Don't be so triggered by all the unity.
:D

Also... AR-15/assault weapon style weapons sometimes AR used. :P
Aurora and Vegas shootings for example. I think dude in Vegas had like... 12 ARs with hundred round mags in the hotel room. In any case um... Is it divisive because they're not often used or what exactly is your beef? Would you be any less offended if he was talking about banning handguns?

What unity?
But yeah you mentioned those two shootings but everything recent Biden and others are using to push an assault weapons ban or other gun control. Ilan Omar even used Noah Greene's car and Knife attack at the capitol as an example by saying..."imagine if he had an AR-15?"

But...according to CNN, Fear sells.

The unity me and you are experiencing right now.
:P

No but seriously America seems to be in a weird place where it's like.. we can't just ban all guns, we can barely pass any kind of gun control, and we seem to have random horrifying mass shootings happening all the time. So many it's to the point where it's like.... is there a place where there has NOT been a mass shooting??? So far we've had gay nightclub, movie theatre, music concert, school, pre-school, church, etc..

I remember someone on here a year or 2 back was saying something about there not being any mass shootings somewhere allegedly because of their lax gun laws. so I googled the last one there... turned out there had recently been a shooting at a homecoming party which killed a couple people and injured a bunch of others.... then a few days later there was another shooting at the f*cking vigil held for the the victims of the first shooting...
Serious bruh moment right there.

Do I have any solution? No. Just ranting.
:P

Also as far as CNN and any other news outlet yes, fear sells.. if it bleeds it leads as they say. Maybe that story I read was fake news idk

It's funny because Democrats say when they lose votes that it's voter suppression while they turn around and also cancel people and especially try to supress guns. The thing from this that gets me is the hypocrisy. It's like calming you are fighting racism when you make fun of an orange guy, lie about him, and discriminate against anyone against them. This is not the best choice...just saying

Ok we were trying to talk about unity here but I'll respond to that if you want.

Republicans need vote suppression, redistricting, the electoral college, etc to win. They've lost the popular vote what... 8 times out of the last 10 elections? Vote suppression is simply one thing they use. The easier it is for America to vote the more likely repubs will lose.

The vast majority of the alleged "Cancel culture" I have seen discussed here is a joke. Dr Seuss deciding to pull their own books, the director of the sequel to Space Jam deciding to pull Pepe le Pew (before the complaints about him on Twitter) , etc.. who gives a f*ck. Convincing poor and middle class Americans to vote for less taxes on the rich at the expense of services provided primarily to them is a tough sell.. and I don't think PotatoHead and a bunch of cancelled cartoons nobody watched anyway is going to convince anyone otherwise.

As far as "suppressing guns"... Something obviously needs to be done. Nobody wants to live in some 3rd world wild west type situation. Even trump banned bump stocks for guns after that mass shooting in Nevada. Somehow I never hear a peep about that here...

And this brings me to hypocrisy.. which you claim to be "the thing that gets you". Do you ever notice sh*t that is absent from top imgflip memes? Matt Gaetz is currently being investigated for f*cking and trafficking underage girls and somehow there hasn't been a peep here... If his name had a (D) next to it how many front page memes about it would there be?? Or how about Guiliani getting his doors kicked in by the Feds? Seriously.. not one single meme about that?? Meanwhile what do we got...memes about fake Lebron quotes, fake news about voter fraud allegedly found in the Arizona recount, Pelosi owned because a f*cking monkey toy...? .alllllllllrighty then.

Racism and an orange guy.. wow. That is really part of your argument??

Ok but people don't mean "unity", they mean compliance. It's only fair to go after Joe and give him hell because Democrats couldn't unite or be fair.
Republicans don't need voter suppression; that's not what's happening. Democrats are suppressing guns, anyway (with your logic). The new voting law imposes new ID requirements and etc. which isn't that bad. We need to stop or limit fraud someway and that just secures the election booths. If you want to vote, go get an ID or whatever!
They lost the popular vote because the People are so easily deceived and swayed. It's sad. This democracy is more like a mobocracy. The People don't know what they want.
+ Cancel Culture IS a thing. You think blaming Republicans will help but it's not helping. They are both bad and I'm tired of all of it. Whenever Democrats lose, they allege it was rigged or interfered which isn't true. BRUH. As for Twitter, that's just more reason to cancel it itself. Media and big tech are a danger and worsening the fire, which Dems like to do too. Even Biden is just taking lots of Trump's policies or ideas or whatever. He's barely in and he is already getting way too much credit. Look at California! Now their citizens (and others) are fleeing out and voting for the same type of scums they elected back there to ruin more states.
It isn't just the gun/voters topic (since I would be willing require ID's or background checks for both) but it's way more than this. Do I really need full blown arguments for kids like you? Do your own research on it and not be subjective. Let imgflip do what they want. Go ahead and try spreading your stuff. Well at least, I hope, Imgflip isn't as trash as libtards Imgur. Maybe they are not all transparent and you don't get to see the news you want but you are here, take it up on the people if you want or just go away and cry elsewhere. And this case this is nothing compared to what others, especially Democrats hypocrisy, has done. Just because one side does it, doesn't mean the other side can. Pelosi deserves to be trashed like LeBron who doxxed an innocent policeman. Maybe if you stopped sticking your fingers in your ears..
Is that all you're good at? Calling Republicans or whoever racist, sexist, or whatever you want, especially because they don't agree? Trump has CONDEMNED racism, white supremacy, KKK, et. and you REFUSE to believe it! I think the racist ones aren't them but the accusers. *nice strawman move sir* Think! + "Fake news" is what you can come up with??

Well nobody here said anything about compliance and I'm not going to attempt to speak to your feelings about what someone else allegedly means when they talk about unity.

It so obviously is. Losing this past election motivated them and all the BS voter fraud narrative gives them an excuse. Far as I'm concerned there's no real reason for Texas to cut voting times. Fraud doesn't give a f*ck what time it is and counting votes in the AM is not evidence of anything scandalous despite what so many seem to think.. as is voting by mail. Hilarious that trump actually voted by mail despite sh*tting on it for however long.

The people (or electoral college anyway) gave trump a shot at president, he failed, and got cancelled. The people spoke. Cancel culture is a thing but the vast majority of the narrative about it that I've seen here is a joke.

There isn't even a dispute about election interference. The dispute would be whether or not it worked.

When you're working from home/quarantine, living in an expensive state makes no sense. Not surprised people left California. You can work from home anywhere.

"Do I really need full blown arguments for kids like you?"

Not at all. Feel free to not hop into conversations with other people, have full blown arguments with them, and then ask if you need to have full blown arguments with them.. And while you're at it, don't play yourself into thinking I'm running around calling people I don't agree with racist. I mean there quite obviously numerous self-described racists who vote staunchly republican. ...which is totally understandable considering repub policy when it comes to immigrants. But this doesn't mean all repubs are racist nor does it mean I automatically assume you're racist. I do think your comment as far as orange man/racism is ridiculous af though. Although to be fair oompa loompas somewhere might be totally offended. Lol
:P

Not like the word "unity" was mentioned...
Are you (also) talking about how the Democrats lost the previous presidential election and cried for 4 years, protesting, questioning the results (and saying they need to 'fight like hell'), saying Russia hacked it (no evidence), etc. And don't get wrong, there are Democrats, Independent, etc. that support Trump and believe this one was rigged. Was it? I doubt Trump won the popular vote but remember not all Republicans are one thing.
ANY candidate or runner would do the same to stall votes, wouldn't they?? Trump is not the main problem even.
"The People spoke" LoL, good one. Also it's not completely Trump's fault. In tons of cases he did pretty good (I'm tired of giving the reasons so many times so find them yourself)! The media and big tech is indeed more bias leaning to liberals or whatever. Does Trump have a bad behavior? Yes. But did Democrats try to help? Not really.
But come on, there are no rules for everyone having to have to make "memes" about what someone or something wants.
And not just California. To many "coincidences" in these cases to pass up.
"Feel free to not hop into conversations with other people" I hope you know it's not very easy, just irritates me people on the internet can be so stupid. No, I don't have to respond to everything and I don't so we don't have to 'rant on' either. Will people listen or be kind? No. But back to the more original details (CNN and news like it do spread fear, not even into guns but don't see what's wrong with background checks, etc. Let me say this (and I don't have any grudge against you and don't think you're bad) but people are underestimating many things, while overestimating other things. I won't have a "FULL blown argument" but open to civil discussion, I guess.
Yes, there are racist Republicans, just like with EVERY OTHER party and EVERY OTHER country, religion, etc. yet that doesn't mean all of one group is. How do you mean on my "orange man" comment though? He did actually deny racism, etc. many times. Have a nice day till we possibly talk again...

:P

Well it's easier to mention the word than to actually discuss or accomplish it.
xL

I've heard the "cried for 4 years about the election" narrative more than I have heard the (alleged) crying. Someone else tried to claim the BLM riots of 2020 were because Hillary lost.. it was hilarious. And sure.. fight like hell.. Trump was literally calling for a straight up revolution in this country when Obama won 4 years prior... as well as blaming him for ebola... funny how both those shoes got put on the other feet.

Russia definitely tried to influence our election as I said the only question was to what degree it worked. russia... If you're listening... And such. Turned out they were listening.. a few people did go to jail..and he ended up winning. People around him are still going to jail. Ironically enough dude was allegedly the "Law and order" president..

The middle parts of your comments are somewhat vague and I honestly don't even know what you're talking about for some of it. Never said there was rules to making memes. Just mentioned what appeared to be deafening silence it in context of you talking about hypocrisy.

The vast majority of self-described straight up nazis, skinheads, and klansmen are repub.. and it's for a reason. Dems are viewed as the party of "open borders" so ya.. racists are obviously not about that. Look at the "Unite the Right" rally.

"The thing from this that gets me is the hypocrisy. It's like calming (claiming?) you are fighting racism when you make fun of an orange guy, lie about him, and discriminate against anyone against them. This is not the best choice..."

It seems like you're attempting to low key call people racist for talking sh*t about his orange face...which is ridiculous because "orange" is not a race. It's got nothing to do with heritage, race, ethnicity, etc.... It's purely his physical appearance.

"Trump was literally calling for a straight up revolution in this country" Source? Don't bother if or since others do the same.
"Russia definitely tried to influence our election" That's what countries do; you know the US interfered in tons of countries right (no matter dictator or democracy)?
Yeah well as the late Jefferson said, "A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where 51 percent of the people may take away the rights of the other 49". It's common to arrest people for being against you, WAIT let me rephrase that...it's common for people to fire others and bring in others from their party or that share same ideas to be more powerful.

"The middle parts of your comments are somewhat vague" How so? "Dems are viewed as the party of 'open borders'" So they can get more votes, yea yea. But don't forget the many false claims and hypocrisy from the Dems, plus the many classic remark move that some call you things like "racist" when you disagree, or even don't accept. It really is pathetic. Or we can put it this way, you mentioned nazis, etc. again and they are or mostly right wing, right? Well majority politics and politicians are on the Right side spectrum, ESPECIALLY Biden, Trump, Clintons, Obama, etc. soooooo, coincidence? There are bigger issues than racism. People (especially crazy Dems like radical Joe) just don't help by messing it up.

"which is ridiculous because "orange" is not a race...It's purely his physical appearance." I know but would you want someone making fun of you and making very offending comments JUST BECAUSE of your skin color, or birthmark, or suntan, or glasses, or hairline, etc.? Ok then let's say it's okay. Then people turn around and would fight fire with fire. (To some degree, I get it and "It's got nothing to do with heritage, race, ethnicity, etc...." Outside this orange thing, it is major, yet my details still stand. Also it's funny that the current VP got picked JUST BECAUSE of her race and skin color? Just saying, just sharing that, nothing more or less.
