There’s an old saw on the internet, at least among those of us with conservative/libertarian leanings, that says, “The left can’t meme.” That’s not entirely true, of course, as broad brushes usually do cover too much ground. I’ve seen a few memes from leftists that, credit where credit is due, were creative and evoked a chuckle or two.
But then someone on the right – like, say, Donald Trump – drops a meme, and the humorless scolds on the left descend like a flock of carrion birds.

OK, now, nobody with enough brains to pound sand thinks this is serious. This is a classic Trump troll: while Kamala Harris’ stated policy proposals are, yes, running right up there in Marxist territory, nobody thinks that even the Harris/Walz campaign would be stupid enough to put up a commie flag in the Democrats’ convention…
