Yeah this has barely even begun

Once Trump won and he wasn't murdered it was guaranteed to be this Can't reach the persuadable any other way, not in this authoritarian climate

it’s what constituents crave, much like Brawndo is what plants crave

Politicians should speak in a language that voters understand and relate ... based on American voters ... this seems within parameters

Thanks I hate it

The Khan doesn't really do this, right?

Pritzker doesn't do stuff like this...himself. He just occasionally drops hints in his speeches that he's aware about his online fans and their Great Khan memes and finds it amusing.

he SHOULD BE

No

Memes are good, but they should have *some* dignity to them

Just add dignity to justice here really

Megatons of dignity >>> bsky.app/profile/noma...

it should say Virgin I agree

only if dignity translates to votes and support and so far evidence suggests it doesn’t

If Pritzker was shitposting memes instead of giving somber, dignified speeches addressing the seriousness of this regime's actions, he quite certainly wouldn't have people referring to him as their Khan and pledging to ride with him.

The memes really only work b/c people not in his office make them. It's a supporter driven thing If he started Khan-posting it would kill any charm the memes have

you have to embrace the darkness

The internet was a mistake

sure. TOO LATE THOUGH

twas ever thus

"Ma ma, where's my pa?" "Going to the White House, ha ha ha."

Why is Kathy Hochul packing schmeat now

Kocky Hochul

I'm in the, "use every meme they do in the lamest way possible, as quickly as possible to make using memes uncool" camp. Plus, I did read the text of the meme and learned something. I'd have never read a text post from the governor of a state I don't live in.

It might be a 15 year-old meme format, but at least it's really poorly executed.

Tangential but yes giving kids food isn't communism but even acting like anticommunist talking points should be addressed as if they were legitimate objections is already ceding the debate to the right and handing them the election

the reality is memes like this actually reach further and enrage the fash more than Strongly Worded Formal Letters™.

I don’t think it’s especially edifying for the world, but this is undoubtedly true, and people like Newsom and Hochul co-opting it also significantly reduces its appeal for them in general.

It's their language. They don't read letters or documents.

i don't think pols should be on twitter but i kinda think if they are on twitter then this is how they should post?

Yeah I feel like QuoPro is standing in the pig sty and complaining about all the mud. That’s the whole website now, regardless of the user

@quoproquid.bsky.social

This is Idiocracy

This is what the PRESENT of all culture is now (meme-ified) so it kinda makes sense.

RIP to the Virgin-Chad Meme Format, 2017-2025. Funny for nearly a decade.

Things are going to speed up significantly I feel. It's going to be hard to feel current when politicians are trying this hard to be in the game

2010s cool social media memes are the new poorly written Facebook image macros

Do they know where that meme comes from nvm I don’t care

At this point such questions are like holding back the tide

Politics has sadly always been cartoons
