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.
That's because there's inherently more to laugh about on the Trump side.
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.
Still waiting to see this amazing Biden joke🧐
You are aware that was a generalized observation, right?
You seem to be the exact type of unthinking blue-team diehard called-out for bizarre, near-vitriol reactions.
I suspect you're just not liking being in this comment.
So is the punchline in that link? Still not finding any jokes here 🤷♂️
Let's hear your best Biden joke then.
You wont find the jokes about biden funny because of your deep political ideology.
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.
Lets hear a biden joke then.
Not the original replier, but I have valid criticisms of Biden, like that he chose the most roundabout way to try and get student loan forgiveness instead of the direct action of simply using his power to completely drop them.
He also didnt seem to fight for the striking rail workers, though I've heard he apparently has gotten them many concessions since breaking the strike (don't quote me on that, just what I heard)
I think he's definitely in mental decline and shouldn't be president, definitely not a second term.
He let the covid-era GOOD legislation (especially around child poverty) expire.
There's more stuff just can't think of it right now....
Part of the problem I think is it's harder to make jokes about stuff like this because it ends up being very specific, whereas Trump is just so obviously moronic in the way he speaks (very smart people, repeating himself, etc..) and the things he says/does so frequently that you can't help but laugh.
Not even getting into how his base treats him as if he's literally the second coming of Christ and a god emperor, when he's just so obviously a grifter only in it for himself (as most very wealthy people are...)
I was more interested in a joke. I thought how south park did trump was hilarious. Wanna rally? Oh just a little.
The best Biden joke is ironically a Republican one. 'Dark Brandon' is fucking hilarious.
I haven't seen it yet. I'll have to check it out.
You have no jokes lol. that's the funny part of this whole interaction.
yep - my experience is if I make a joke about biden to most democrats, the next thing out of their mouth is something about trump
You've managed to avoid the knee-jerk "useful idiot" etc vitriol? I'm impressed and envious.
Maybe they know I'm not very useful?
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.
