The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!
But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

It kills me because this seems to be the way that leftists seems to view the right.
"Wait, it's all projection?"

"Always has been"
The podcast 12 Rules For What has been helping me see all the fissures in the far right, and how heterogeneous they are
Yeah, as someone who grew up in a VERY right wing household (and has made the transition to a much more liberal point of view), it kills me seeing the left make the same ~~logical fallacies~~ bad arguments to fear monger against the right as the right would use against the left.
Edit: probably over thinking my own wording. Its probably not a logical fallacy to assume your enemy is united, its just an inaccurate argument. Changed comment to maybe better reflect that.
The way it matters is many groups on the left are quick to hold each other to the absolute highest standard, which in general is great. That said, it often devolves into pointless auto cannibalism when the standards are unattainably gold plated.
The right seemingly does not do this in ways that reduce power or end careers. That looks like cohesion from the outside.
Again to be clear, generally it is important to call out issues and ensure high ethical standards. Sometimes it can turn into a witch-hunt.
Edit it has been true over the past few years that the most fringe conservatives have been calling out "Rinos" for not being "real conservatives", and that is worth mentioning as a way the right fights itself.
