You know, folks are giving you a lot of unnecessary shit for this comment. And I get that when viewed with sufficient context and cultural awareness of American politics, the meme clearly implies at least a correlation between voting blue and an improved quality of life. (edit: which mind you I do believe exists, at least in so far as it compares to voting red)

But I also saw it and thought, "this meme could easily be interpreted by MAGA cultists to justify their vote for Trump". They would of course be wrong, but with the isolated set of data provided by the meme, it really doesn't only imply what it thinks it implies.

It's necessary.

If their comment wasn't smartass idiotic, maybe not.

I dunno, I have a hard time being mad at Inigo Montoya.
