      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.

        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.

            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.
