Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

Damn, then it's depressingly unfunny.
If I make some shit up and post it in /c/politicalmemes without actually trying to be funny, can I similarly write it off as "jk bro don't take everything so seriously" whenever someone points out that it's bullshit? Did we not learn our lesson from "it's just a meme bro" as a justification after 2016 when disinformation in memes got a white supremacist conman elected president?
I thought it was funny.
Humor is subjective.
