Come single guy and gal unto me pay attention
Don't ever fall in love, it's the devil's own invention
For once he fell in love with a maiden so bewitching

I actually think our best play is to pretend not to understand the sombrero thing and be unbothered by it, make them explain it or make more plain what they're saying

Memes serve as a tool of dark participation and are used purposefully “to disrupt, undermine, attack, resist or reappropriate discursive positions pertaining to public affairs narratives in the news” (Peters & Allan, 2021, pp. 2–3)

Doing counterintelpro but telling everyone. Also this means you have the opportunity to run a double in the AG’s office or at least use them for offensive counter intelligence.

Obviously not the main point here, but it's interesting how this is framed as content rather than policy.

"BREAKING" is typically what journalists or influencers say when they have a big story -- not what government officials say when they launch "undercover" operations

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

How dare they suggest God’s Chosen County of Addison, Vermont (1,672 cows per 1,000 people) would be New York.

The part where upstate cuts into like… Manchester and Rutland VT is weird I’m not sure what’s happening there? Also they gave us Lake Champlain and Plattsburgh? I need a crisper version. I agree in principle. Not One Single Step Backwards

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.
