I think it was during the trump presidency, but early into the trump presidency before qanon. I had a random flashback thinking about it earlier. I’m pretty sure one of the pepes was like Bain from Batman and it had text that said “the fire rises” or something cringe like that.
‘But what about the memes?’ he pleads with the group, pointing to the memes he had painstakingly painted onto sheets of card.
A woman in military camo then tells him to ‘get the fuck out’, and he dejectedly replies: ‘But these are good memes.’
And when another man shouts at him ‘Dude, this is not Comic Con!’, he replies, clearly disheartened: ‘I know. I just came to make friends.’
> Uhh…yeah, I’m the master race guys.
> Literally so internet poisoned he based his entire political views from what is the funniest.
> Goes outside and references memes IRL.
I swear, I’m going to lose it when I see the first gen alpha CHUD brag that “I’m so skibidi!” when he declares his allegiance to neo-nazism.
Hazy memory on that but I think it did happen. I also remember a fascist guy showing up to a Trump rally with I think a swastika and the boomers getting mad at him calling him a socialist and his buddy trying to apologize for him and telling people he’s actually on the right
The best part is if I remember right those right-wing chuds were there to protest something that wasn’t happening. They had tricked themselves into believing a group of antifa were going to show up to rip down the Hermann Park statue of Sam Houston. I think what was actually happening were some Avakian revcoms were going to hand out fliers. Every Bob Avakian communist I know in Houston is like an 80 year old mild-mannered mail sorter, so that would have been an interesting conflict I guess.
And then meme guy is there like “What about the memes.” As if these milita dorks in their chestrigs and 3 percenter caps aren’t all cosplaying too. Oh I’m sorry a fellow fascist brought some frog memes to your fictional defense against insurrection that you literally brainwashed yourself into believing was happening because an 87 year old librarian handed out a newspaper saying “Mao was a good boy and we’d like a list of email addresses please”
I remember feeling sad for that guy. I mean fuck him for being fash but he just wanted to touch grass and make friends. I like to believe that after being rejected by the right he switched to being a commie and found a party that actually accepted him.
He could be any one of us! He could be you! He could be me! He could even be…
