    I would urge you to remember that this post itself is a meme. Of course “a few leftists making memes” isn’t the root cause, it’s just one that I personally witnessed swaying people and that particularly pisses me off.

    And yes, the Dems could’ve and should’ve done better, but I would like to be able to believe that people are smart enough to not commit suicide by apathy, and I feel justified in being pissed off at those who dragged the whole country down by failing to show a little self-preservation instinct.

      I feel justified in being pissed off at people whose first reaction to all of this is to blame the left. Because y’all do this after every election we lose, and learning nothing is how we go on to lose the next election.

      Blame the people who voted for Trump. Think for a minute about why they did, and then think about what we can do differently next time.

      Not learning is what will drag the whole country down.

        Why do that when we can blame nebulous leftist memes they 0.005% of voters saw? Obviously that’s the cause of a massive failure of messaging and policy making.
