    Hate Trump & maga but this meme is pretty explicitly ableist. Why we gotta make fun of disabled ppl too

      I get what you’re saying, but this is showing the symptoms of a stroke. Having a stroke is not a disability, although it might result in one.

        I still can’t help wonder. There are people who dove headfirst into Trumpism who I would not consider to be irrational before.

        I do not understand why it works on half of the country but has the complete opposite effect on me.

        What is different about me?..and how do I spread that difference to that half of the country?

          Trumpism i reckon js more like how a serial killer can appear totally normal on the outside.

          These people have always been like this. They’ve just hidden it very very well because they new society at large would not tolerate that shit.

          Now those who tolerate it are in charge. It’s safe to be the POS they are right out in the open.

          Only 1/3 of the country.

          And given that nearly half of adults can’t read above a 6th grade level, this really isn’t that surprising. They cannot grasp any nuance at all.

        These signs are not exclusive to strokes & that’s besides the point. What matters is that it shouldn’t qualify them for ridicule…

          All 3 of those together are the universal warning signs of a stroke.

          F.A.S.T.

          Face

          Arm

          Speech
