    Now hang on. If you pretend the two teams are the same and refuse to pick a side because neither is perfect so it doesn’t matter, you are an enabler of fascism.

    You can support a team while acknowledging their flaws. Refusing to play because the better team isn’t perfect is either naive or malicious.

          The meme is about US imperialism versus (supposedly) Chinese imperialism. And the election is over, not every meme is about that anymore.

      Is this intentional misinterpretation for mischief purposes, or is this your best?

        No, I’m saying there are “radical centrists” who pretend they are above the fray and claim both sides are equally flawed, while invariably showing up to vote for conservatives.
