Apostrophe is possessive. The facts do not possess themselves.

When there are a number of them, however, they are just facts, without an apostrophe.

The poor English is just how the existing meme template is written.

The poor English may also be intentional to suggest irony or facetiousness in the meme as a whole.

Apostrophes are not exclusively for possessives. In language, they can also indicate a contraction, among other uses.

You’re the second person on this post to call out the apostrophe, but neither of you called out the capital F in “Fact’s”.
