Opinion of the NPC meme

[Rules for me, but not for thee]

If the left can scream "Russian Bots!!!1" at the right; the right can call the left NPCs.

[Rules for me, but not for thee]

Will be forgotten about within a year.

Sure, but its more for the election in a couple weeks.

If the left can scream "Russian Bots!!!1" at the right; the right can call the left NPCs.

I had an entire thing typed up, but I'll leave it that there is more than one type of "left", and the type that go into histrionics over purported Russian involvement in random events is hardly the most left; nor does it likely represent most liberals in real life.

All this aside, I find it immensely troubling that the right would become the Russia scapegoat (or vice versa), the 2016 election aside, given liberal and left-wing discourse on Russia during the preceding decades.

Ok, how about "Twitter left" and "Twitter right" in my sentence?

Kudos: this post legitimately made me laugh. Do you really think this meme will have any effect on the midterms either way? I'd be surprised if 90% of the Republican base even know what an NPC is with or without the context of it being a meme. Like 90% of all Online Political Content, it's just performative stuff: preaching to the already converted for the sake of maintaining a circlejerk.

Did the Pepe meme and others have an effect on getting Trump elected? Many people think so.

And many people are also stupid. What a coincidence!

Stupid maybe...or just can't put in the time to care.  They have jobs to do, families to take care of, bills to pay, etc.

Have you considered you are too Online for your own good?

Maybe so, but you cannot deny the power of internet meme-ry and trolls. They just voted on a 4chan meme ("It's ok to be white") in the Australian Senate for crying out loud.
