This might be the best meme fusion I've ever seen

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Need to add Ralph Wiggum somehow

[–] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Edit it so the trolly is going over the one but it’s Ralph

Also unrelated but I thought it was spelled Wiggum

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

It is. Typo.

[–] Emi@ani.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

I always thought that his name means vigum as in vigumovat which means erase so his brain is erased so he's dumb.

Right: Tankies and trumpists

Left: anyone with a heart and a brain.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 12 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Tankies being seen as "the right" is the ultimate fuck you to the political coordinates :D

[–] gerbler@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Tbf tankies are right wingers who adopted a leftist aesthetic.

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 7 points 2 weeks ago

Tankies are red MAGA.

What's that? MAGA is already red, you say?

Yes. Yes it is.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world -2 points 2 weeks ago

Well, this is as much as they deserve.

This needs to be animated to show the trolley rolling over piles of bodies.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

And then loop back to hit the one on the right.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

And I think Ralph Wiggum should be included just for that extended meta

This is brilliant

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Right: Leninlover1917 living in Canada being excited about democrats losing

Left: Everyone else who's not a fascist or a tankie

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think you meant left on the second one. Although I guess everything is leaning right now.

[–] assa123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

I mean, from the bus perspective, yeah! As with an X-ray.

[–] Bustedknuckles@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Person on right is glad because they saw the death that was avoided. Person on left is sad because they see what is lost. America voted which path, and I'll be generous and say that neither passenger could see the other side's track

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

*too generous

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 12 points 2 weeks ago

Another take:

The happy rider, is a conspiracy theory enjoyer. Happy in the "knowledge" that someone (anyone) is at the controls of the world, it gives comfort in a perverse way. Even though they know that the "controllers" are doing bad things.
The sad rider, is a realist. Can see that they are stuck on a trolley that is currently plowing through people, their personal actions mean nothing in the aggregate of all other actions in the world. They saw that the person at the leaver chose to keep themselves pure, rather than reduce the suffering in the world and taint themselves in the process.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't understand what this is supposed to be. The path we just took was toward the people and we also added spinning chainsaws to the front of the trolley

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 32 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The one person on the path not taken signifies that we are taking the path lined with bodies...

The guy at the switch represents dem "leadership".

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It took the combined efforts of a lot of people to accomplish the Trump presidency. It took Harris' weak platform, it took tankies' attacks on Harris, and it took voters believing that Harris was worse than fascism. It's a democracy, and that means millions of people share the blame.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Jesus Christ stop with this "tankies" bullshit already. Go outside. I fucking wish there were millions of "tankies" out there swaying US elections, but there aren't. Attacks land most solidly when they are based in truths. I personally did not vote for Harris because of her unapologetic support for Israel's genocide. How many other people did the same? A hundred thousand maybe? A couple hundred thousand?

The democrats fucked up by assuming that "not Trump" would get out the vote like it did in 2020. Unfortunately, they haven't done shit for people since then. They've had 4 years to get shit done that nobody could argue with, but they didn't. Instead, they took a hard right turn in the campaign (Gaza, border policy, "muscular military", etc). Predictably, this didn't " energize the base".

Democrat leadership decided fascism was preferable to any capital concessions to the working class. It wasn't the first time, and it won't be the last.

I get that you're grieving right now. I hope you'll come back in a week and read this again.
