I feel weird about this sort of joke because it's exactly the same kind of humour the right wing has been using about the left for decades. Its almost like a "boy who cried wolf" sort of situation except it was the wolves who were crying 😅

Also, while its true, if seems sort of low brow for such a serious situation (even if its 💯% true). Not disparaging the post or sign, just sort of drunkenly thinking out loud

Thus the reason it's in Shitpost

I don't, because sadly it's the only thing that works with the right, and really people in general.

They don't care about actually well researched policies or political content - these get labelled as the "liberal wall of text."

We need more of these sorts of jokes for engagement. See for example Megan Coyne's tweets when she ran Biden's official Whitehouse account.

Yeah, I don’t really disagree with the sentiment of the sign but you couldn’t pay me to put what is functionally a Facebook/Twitter post on my hypothetical lawn.
