Will the left ever learn to meme? Why can’t they?

Some leftist meme examples






As you can see, there are a distinct few subsets of leftist memes.
They are either:

Overly verbose-brevity being the soul of wit, these don’t work because they have to set up a premise using verbal diarrhea instead of a simple message. Usually setting up a straw man to knock down.

Outright stolen and reskinned.-these usually take a successful meme that works and tries to flip it, to even more hilarious results, but not the intended one. See the “say the line shill” and the NPC meme. They prove the point even further.

False memes-these may follow the meme form and be brief...but instead of containing that kernel of truth that makes meme magic work, they rely on a falsehood.

So why is it the left can’t meme effectively? It’s not as if they are computer illiterate. They have all the skills necessary. It’s just that they reject a reality in favor of a worldview that is provenly false.


Will they learn? Is meme magic a blessing of Kek?

Theories? Thoughts?

Zero imagination and poor language skills.

Same reason they can’t logically defend their positions

The second one involving drake is more accurately described as an essay

Lack of logic and sense of humor, and a penchant for taking everything far too literally.

Because you have to have a sense of humor to meme. They are all up tight and can't laugh at things that are usually funny. You lose material when you are constantly offended.

A great example of why leftist memes fail. Good job!

That’s what they don’t comprehend. Instead of just taking their licks they double down and prove the point even further.

And he gives another example! Proving that the left can only steal effective memes, reskin them and totally strike out as well!

This is unequivocally false. The left sucks at it because they have no idea how to make original content.

It’s a truth. That’s why it’s funny. I was really hoping for SlowFlowPro’s input on this. And some others. Hemphead, Upgrayedd and Scruffy come to Mind
