True. What we need is a better angle of this photo to become a salute meme:

Yeah, no. Let’s not memify the fascists. That is how you teach the ignorant public not to take them and their threats seriously.

Fascist? Really? You can’t actually think that.

Trump, the guy who this image is based upon? The guy who unironically quotes Hitler, has a book of his speeches on his bedside table, and surrounds himself with fascists and other extreme-right-wing bigots? The guy who is the centerpiece of Project 2025? The guy whose party promotes book banning, colonization, history revisionism, domestic terrorism, American exceptionalism, and Christian dominionism?
Yes. Yes I do.

Somehow I feel like he’s not intellectual enough to have that book by his bedside, but if you want to do the left-wing QAnon thing, go for it.

I can’t tell if you’re trolling or have just been living under a rock. If it’s the latter, you need to remember that life often stranger than fiction.

Okay, but the implication here is that you want her to be president, like you expect/want Trump to be president. Whether or not those are your actual politics, that’s the subtext.
It’s in poor taste anyhow, especially since we haven’t yet seen the full effects of the fallout of this extremely recent event. It would be more direct and clear to memify a political ad, if your goal is to celebrate your favorite Vtuber.
I’m not saying you’re a bad person, but I am saying people need to realize that memes don’t exist in a vacuum, and treating dangerous people like jokes allows them to keep doing what they do under cover of humor.
