The Scroll Of Truth

Better question

I disagree slightly. While, in general, you're correct - the culture war can only be won by building and sustaining cultural norms as well as enshrining, in law, policies that would bolster that culture - I believe that memes act as a brainstorming session for everyone to present their points of view and hone their argumentation abilities. In doing so, you never know who might read your meme with its follow on comment section and see something that speaks to them, challenges them or changes their mind entirely.

The major benefit is that memes, when you're doing it right, are supposed to be funny. Therefore, one can get their point across without the message coming across as preachy. A substantial number of the /politics memes fail in this regard, sadly... and I include myself in that comment. But memes and light-hearted discourse absolutely have an impact - to a greater or lesser degree - on the cultural landscape.

Does that make any sense or am I just seeing hope where there is none?

Actually I can't find anything in that statement I disagree with. Except nobody really cares what you me or anyone else says. We are all playing to someones narrative. Thats why I don't post anything serious or have real debates unless I find something interesting to talk to someone about. I'll banter with right wing nut jobs and lefty loosies. It doesn't matter to me. I love all Americans so I don't pick sides. Nonsense comes in heavy and deep from both sides though, and everyone acts like it's only the other side, meanwhile what has happened to our tax dollars?

Meh... I tend to only comment on my own beliefs which tend to run counter to one side or the other depending on what I'm commenting on... and pride myself in being logically consistent when voicing those beliefs. But, yes... both sides tend to have their zealot adherents which makes it difficult to be heard. I continue to hold out hope that I can sway both sides closer to the middle, however.

Tax dollars?! Don't get me started on how ineffectively our tax dollars are spend by national/local governments! But I don't have the time or sanity at the moment to detail what an utter joke our government(s) are where spending money is concerned. However, I assure you, we agree on this!

Haha, we are likeminded in the sense of foolishly trying to bring both sides together. People think I'm a left wing monster because I hate Trump, I think it's hilarious. Also I think labeling. yourself as left or right is un-American.

If not un-American... definitely trialist and ignorant! Hahaha.

People never used to talk about politics. It's weird since Trump got elected It's like he took over peoples personalities. People who I would normally like and chill with are all Trumped out now and it makes me sick! Maybe I got a touch of that TDS that's been going around. Anyway I don't hate them for it I just feel bad that they have been tricked so bad.
