    Did most people who saw this image really think a fully-suited Trump handed a MAGA hat to a guy stranded in floodwater? Probably not. Pretending otherwise perpetuates this weird new “meme alarmism” currently in vogue. It’s... just a meme https://twitter.com/kevinroose/status/1044293407022231553 …

        Also, demanding that Facebook determine the authenticity of every meme -- if that’s even possible or desirable -- will inevitably have the effect of *handing Facebook more unchecked power* which is the opposite of what should be happening

        When I was kid, they had tabloids at the grocery store check-outs; only complete & utter fools took them seriously. They didn’t use them as an excuse for censorship, that’s for sure

        This trend to literalism is another form of "dumbing down" - since metaphor, sarcasm, irony. extend the communication repertoire, but all become ruled out. It needs to be seriously resisted.

        It's obviously photo shopped, I'm one of the people that shared it... because it was hilarious. Are these people so dense that they can't spot a good meme.

        There is no reason any longer. All social contracts have eroded. There is no middle ground line anymore. Buckle up.

        The left can't meme. They also can't see sarcasm/satire in meme's as well.

        The ultimate meme would have been if trump actually shared it and said, “Ah yes I remember when I did this. It was stupendous.”

        Total loss of sense of humor seems to be an early and lasting symtom of Trump Derangement Syndrome, and lets be honest most of those afflicted have progressed to full blown Trump Hysteria Disorder.
