Turns out leftists and liberals are a) funny b) have a sense of humor and c) don't normally worship politicians.

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 35 points 1 year ago

I'll worship at the altar of Bernie and I don't give a shit who doesn't like me for it.

Forever and ever, Old Man.

I still think about the time I heard some conservatives laughing that nobody buys those Biden hats, as they picked up some Trump merch.

Yeah like no shit. Why tf would I?

[-] Cleverdawny@lemm.ee 81 points 1 year ago

Depends on what kind of joke they're making. Key & Peele had a lot of great comedy about Obama. SNL's Jim Carey Biden impression was great. But conservatives are almost never funny, generally their "comedy" is about bullying someone for a perceived social transgression or physical/mental flaw.

[-] Grayox@lemmy.ml 50 points 1 year ago

They lack the critical thinking to come up with critiques other than, old man old haha or Insert abelist joke about his stutter here all the while he has arguably done so much shitty stuff that they never even meme about cause they are too dumb to see it. Like how hard is it, i just made this one this morning:

[-] Cleverdawny@lemm.ee 26 points 1 year ago

Yeah I mean that's not much of a joke but it's not offensive. It's just expressing a viewpoint. But a Republican would be like "hurr durr Biden is demented" or some such crap

Here’s your sign…you might be a redneck if you git er done.

[-] joyjoy@lemm.ee 41 points 1 year ago

Democrats love making fun of the president. Doesn't matter the party.

[-] BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 year ago

Many Democrats think Trump is so bad that he's worthy of ridicule. But also realize that Biden is kinda shit too, but at least he's not Trump.

[-] Kahlenar@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I'm still recovering from the relief that he lost 2020

[-] PmMeFrogMemes@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

can we please agree to stop using "tRump" it's embarrassing

[-] PsychedSy@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 year ago

All of the weird name shenanigans come off as childish.

[-] Cabrio@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

If you still feel the need to give up childish things to feel like an adult, you aren't one yet.

@PmMeFrogMemes

You get any good frog memes you can share? I love those.

[-] PmMeFrogMemes@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago
[-] Dee@lemmings.world 6 points 1 year ago

Not the person you were replying to, but I appreciate your frog meme. Thank you.

[-] flicker@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Necro reply but that was awesome. You're amazing.

[-] GreenMario@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

As soon as he stops saying "crooked Hillary or Sleepy Biden".

We don't have to take the high road either.

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.

[-] bender@insaneutopia.com 6 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] bender@insaneutopia.com 5 points 1 year ago

Lets hear a biden joke then.

[-] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

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...)

[-] bender@insaneutopia.com 7 points 1 year ago

I was more interested in a joke. I thought how south park did trump was hilarious. Wanna rally? Oh just a little.

[-] Cabrio@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The best Biden joke is ironically a Republican one. 'Dark Brandon' is fucking hilarious.

[-] bender@insaneutopia.com 3 points 1 year ago

I haven't seen it yet. I'll have to check it out.

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.

[-] flicker@kbin.social 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] los_chill@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Let's hear your best Biden joke then.

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

Still waiting to see this amazing Biden joke🧐

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.

[-] Zellith@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Trump means fart.
Biden means goodbye.
