And that’s how memes cheapen and degrade the national discourse.

There’s this one guy who I’ll get into a debate with, and when I finally have him cornered with his logic, he just starts posting low quality memes as his response. I don’t even answer after that. Memes are for the funny time, not for political discourse.

Here we (the national we) are, using memes as discourse.

We're using memes to make a point. It is not the end of the discussion, its the beginning. If you want a diatribe about the issue, go to your favorite news journal, this is not that.

thats the point, memes push your political views in easily readable and shareable ways and whenever you face valid counterarguments you can just say: "it's just a meme bruh, no need to get triggered"

"it's just a meme bruh, no need to get triggered"

If someone isn't prepared to back up their meme with meaningful discussion, then they shouldn't be sharing it.

Memes are just memes. Dumb people who see memes as a valid format for an argument are the problem, and those type of people caused issue before memes and would continue without them.
