    The various @politics communities are currently chock full of a weird deflection of all jokes and criticisms of Biden and a focus on jokes and criticisms about Trump. It’s pretty hard to see how the blue team part to this pans out at all.

          I’m able to make fun pretty much anyone, Biden included. Often times it’s warranted against him; most of the time Trump deserves to be dunked on. But sure, keep living in your little information bubble where everyone thinks like you.

        How does that in any way explain the bizarre, near-vitriol reactions of blue team participants to criticisms and jokes about Biden?

        A relative excess of funny would just explain more jokes, and poorly.

          I work with disabled adults so the “Biden has mental decline” jokes aren’t amusing to me, specifically, and I actually couldn’t give a shit about the families of politicians so the Hunter Biden stuff isn’t amusing to me, and the “gender lol” stuff is so extremely played out to me…

          But I’m open to actual jokes about Democrats. And memes. Do you have any that aren’t those? (This is a “you” to the conversation at large.) I’d love to have something to share.

          Eta: It’s been 2 days so I checked back and the only answers asking for jokes about Democrats have been ignored. I’m disappointed as hell and now I think that the whole “Republicans don’t have jokes” narrative is actually true.

          Thanks, Obama.

      Not good. Cultish behavior is for extremists. When you lose the ability to laugh at yourself, it’s a sign that you’ve lot the ability to criticize and evaluate yourself honestly.
