Democrat scum are looking for ways to criminalize memes, just as they crave the oppression of all conservative speech.

The humor of the meme is an effective tool for conservatives and violent, humorless Democrats are unable to compete.

They like memes when used to ridicule conservatives, but not when it skewers them.

Boss Tweed hated Thomas Nast's cartoons the same way

"His drawings are stuck upon the walls of the poorest dwellings, and stored away in the portfolios of the wealthiest connoisseurs. A man who can appeal powerfully to millions of people, with a few strokes of the pencil, must be admitted to be a great power in the land. No writer can possibly possess a tenth part of the influence with Mr. Nast exercises. "He addresses the learned and the unlearned alike. Many people cannot read 'leading articles,' others do not choose to read them, others do not understand them when they have read them. But you cannot help seeing Mr. Nast's pictures, and when you have seen them you cannot fail to understand them. "When he caricatures a politician, the name of that politician ever afterwards recalls the countenance of which Nast has made him a present. An artist of that stamp — and such artists are very rare indeed — does more to affect public opinion than a score of writers."
