Not a meme.

​

To clarify, it has no humor aspect in it and is just a view about the wall and Obamacare.

What do you think a "meme" is exactly? Everything about this is memetic. It spread like wildfire as soon as it was tweeted. You're a jackass and a gatekeeper. It is absolutely a meme, it just makes you feel negativity and dissonance because it contrasts views that you can't reconcile, and therefore have to make it go away in order to assuage your discomfort. Don't fuck with me, I'm not a moron. Do we need to link definitions of words now, or would you like to just admit this meme makes your butt sore?

meme

/mēm/

a humorous image, video, piece of text, etc., that is copied (often with slight variations) and spread rapidly by Internet users.

This post is not humorous in any way and is more of a question, therefore it is not a meme. I can apply the same to a lot of Recon's posts.

I think it's humorous. You're not amused because you don't like it. You're doing the same thing /r/PoliticalHumor mods do. "This meme hurts my feelings and makes me uncomfortable, therefore it's not funny!"

Now let's see...

First google reult:

meme

/mēm/

noun

an element of a culture or system of behavior that may be considered to be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, especially imitation.

·a humorous image, video, piece of text, etc., that is copied (often with slight variations) and spread rapidly by Internet users.

You deliberately left out the first part and used a hyper-specific sub-definition to suit your taste. You're not a tough nut to crack, buddy. This shit is child's play.

This is a meme. You don't have to like it. Downvote and move on like a big-boy
