thats not what an antimeme is, this meme has a very standard punchline

I do think it's possible to vote your way into a situation you cannot vote yourself out of.

Like, for example, the way the system is currently setup gives much more representation (and therefore power) to smaller states. To change that, we would need to amend the constitution which would require a super majority. When have institutions willingly voted to give up their unearned power?

First they came for the Communists, and I did nothing, because I was not a Communist.

Now now, we can't start holding AI to higher standards than real doctors.

This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

Right? It gets bad press as "the Charles Manson manual" but it's all real basic stuff that helps. I've heard some allegations against Carnegie, so maybe he should be cancelled idk (I don't know the claims or their veracity). but HTWFAIP is solid self help

The division and violence is coming from within the house.

And after the barrage of cringe tone deaf “humor” about a fucking political assassination I think my side doesn’t have room to criticize other people’s jokes.

Perhaps the reason that "humor" is coming out so strong is because Republicans are so cavalier about "having basic respect" and "don't glorify political violence." So yeah, I don't blame people at all for glorifying the death of a mouthpiece of that hate and division, he was literally asking for it. He radicalized the youth, downplayed political violence, and encouraged stochastic terror. There hasn't been a better example of living by the sword and dying by the sword, so as far as I'm concerned, until there are consequences for lack of civility, respect, decorum, not glorifying terrorism, etc, Republicans have earned none.

Obviously the ideal amount of political violence should be zero. If any other option exists, I think those must be taken first.

But sometimes the status quo is violence, and letting the status quo continue doing violence will overtime do more harm than one act of political violence. So mathematically, there must be some point where some violence is worth the cost of less harm in the future.
