Hmmmm? So your argument is that since Trump’s ridiculousness has become a parody of itself, it’s impossible to tell the difference between right wingers and leftists making fun of Trump?
I kinda get it, but aren’t there always clues in the subtext?
Like why does the account only have marginally (arguably) leftist memes but no other pro-left content? Why don’t they comment on any pro-labour issues? Why are they on the midwest.social instance?
I think there are a lot of clues to give them away, but ofc I could be mistaken.
As an observer and commentator, you’re necessarily a part of the spectacle. It’d probably be better if you took your role a bit more seriously than “Haha silly man said things”.
If you don’t want to spend time with critical analysis, then maybe you should leave the speaking (or typing) to those that do.

No, my argument is that it’s harder to do funny content on Trump that’s not been done already.
I didn’t investigate them that thoroughly, since in the end: it’s only a lemmy user.

WTF are you talking about? Sorry, if I don’t write my dissertation in the form of comments on a meme community. /s
