Are you seriously asking? Did you ever see the things Trump used to tweet during those SNL performances? Have you seen any right wing commentary? Hell no they're not third graders, when my kids were in third grade they were thoughtful, empathetic people who could follow basic logic, compromise, and lose gracefully.

Baldwin made fun of Trump a bunch of times on SNL. It had already been ruled involuntary manslaughter, but maga court had a bone to pick.

Additionally - a *half truth from chat frickin GPT:

"In a tense political climate, Alec Baldwin's satirical portrayal of President Donald Trump on "Saturday Night Live" had garnered significant attention and polarized opinions. His impersonations were both celebrated and criticized, drawing ire from Trump supporters who saw his performances as disrespectful and damaging.

On the set of the film "Rust," an unfortunate and tragic accident occurred, leading to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. As investigations began, initial findings suggested that the incident was a result of a series of safety lapses and negligence on the part of the production team, including Baldwin, who was both an actor and a producer on the film.

Enter District Attorney Thomas Harlan, a staunch supporter of President Trump, appointed during Trump's tenure. Harlan had previously expressed disdain for Baldwin's portrayals of Trump, believing them to be part of a broader media conspiracy against conservative values.

Seizing the opportunity presented by the "Rust" incident, Harlan decided to press charges against Baldwin with unusual fervor. He argued that Baldwin's role as a producer made him directly responsible for the safety lapses on set, thus filing charges of involuntary manslaughter against him. Critics claimed that the intensity and speed of the charges were disproportionate compared to similar cases in the industry, suggesting political motivations behind Harlan's actions.

Supporters of Baldwin and various legal analysts argued that the charges were a clear case of political retribution. They pointed out that other individuals with similar roles in previous on-set accidents had not faced such severe charges. Furthermore, they highlighted Harlan's public statements and connections to pro-Trump groups as evidence of his bias.

The media frenzy intensified, with pundits on both sides debating whether Baldwin was being unfairly targeted due to his political satire. This scenario underscores the complexities of mixing legal actions with political motivations, ultimately raising questions about the impartiality of justice in a highly polarized environment."

I'm not 'blue no matter who' I'm 'third parties mathematically cannot win the electoral college so I will vote strategically for whoever has an actual possibility of beating Trump, then down the ballot I am more free to vote with my conscience.

Yeah yeah I've read Dawkins :P My definition is based on earlier internet when things were what they were and became a meme as they were shared. Of course a popular image macro haz become meme but so can a questionnaire (wtf was wrong with us??)

A couple of years ago my kid took a funny picture of the cat and put some white text on it and said "look I made a meme!" I told her "No, you made an image macro. it's not a meme unless it goes viral." and even her mother who's older than me told me I was being pedantic and any picture can be a meme.

I hate it here.
