This is straight nonsensical. It is also disingenuous, dismissive, and deceptive. The photo is the context that proves Trump is not rebuilding the military. He is using and abusing it as demonstrated by this picture. Your inability to see this is staggering to say the least.

This is the only thing really worth responding to in what you wrote above. Everything else is irrelevant in its entirety. You are accusing me of being dismissive and nonsensical when I have clearly shown that the meme is intentionally misleading.

I will once again reiterate my point: the meme shows what appears to be a naval vessel with rust along its exterior hull. Above there is text saying that President Donald Trump put additional money, amounting to trillions of dollars, into the military.

It does not say that this is the Abraham Lincoln. It does not say that it is returning from a long deployment. It does not say that the rust is normal for this kind of deployment. It does not say that the rust is superficial or that it has no meaningful impact on the readiness or operational capability of the ship.

Instead, it creates the implication that, despite Trump putting additional money into the military, the military's ships still look like this. There is no meaningful context in the meme itself.

Your disappointment is completely irrelevant. I don't care how you feel about it. You didn't have to read my comment, and you didn't have to respond to it.

Even the context provided in the post is extremely vague and still implies essentially the same thing.

We cannot use the same tactics against Trump and his followers that created the environment we are dealing with in the first place. They will not produce the outcome you want. Do you not understand this?

The only way to change the system for the better is to educate the people within that system. The fact that so many people are poorly informed about how the system currently works is part of why tactics like this are effective in the first place.

We are not going to change Trump, and we are unlikely to change the minds of his most committed followers. What we can do is replace those who perpetuate these tactics with people who are better informed and more capable of engaging with the system rationally.

And this is precisely the problem. This is why the system continues to function the way it does: you believe that using the same tactics Trump uses will somehow produce different results when they're used in your favor. They won't.

And yes, I am repeating myself because you still have not established or proven that I am wrong. Your interpretation of the meme relies on the additional context that I provided, because there is no other way to glean that context from the meme itself.

If you are claiming otherwise, then you are lying. You are arguing against a context that I already provided and then pretending that the context was inherent to the meme itself. It wasn't.

I genuinely don't understand why you're continuing to argue this point. Do you simply refuse to acknowledge when you're wrong, or do you genuinely not understand the distinction I'm making?
