Lemmy: "Haha! You fucking idiots! That's not what Transgenic means."
DOGE: "Don't actually care. This is just some bullshit to distract the rubes while we finish our bust out of the US Treasury."
A community to satirize conservtive and right-wing "ideals".
This community (now) exists as a pressure valve, a place to process through humor the often frustrating world of conservative politics. Above all, this is NOT the place for serious conservative support/viewpoints/arguments. There are other places on Lemmy for that if you desire it.
Always follow .world instance rules
Parody With Purpose: This is a space for humorous takes on conservative politics. We welcome satire, but draw the line at content that promotes racism, sexism, homophobia, or other forms of bigotry.
Memes Over Manifestos: This community focuses on humor and parody, not serious political debate. There are plenty of spaces for earnest conservative discussion, this isn’t one of them.
Highlight Contradictions: Sometimes the best content points out inconsistencies and hypocrisies in conservative talking points. Creative commentary is encouraged.
Public Figures Fair Game: Politicians and pundits can be satirized, but no targeting of private individuals, doxxing, or harassment.
Children of public figures under the age of 14 are also off-limits, a 16 year old has enough free agency to break with or adopt their parents views. An 8 year old kid doesn't.
No News Zone: Memes only, news or other serious content should be sent to the nearest relevant comm. Meme's of current events, however, are encouraged.
Clear Satire: Make your satirical intent reasonably clear. We’re here to mock bad ideas, not accidentally spread them. If you're unsure how it will be taken, feel free to DM the mod team ahead of time or explicitly tag it as satire in the body.
A note on ChadMcTruth: Chad's content is 100% satire, but his work can sometimes be hard to tell, but if he posted it be assured, its satire.
For more general political memes please see [email protected]
Community Respect: Disagree with fellow members all you want, but personal attacks aren’t welcome. Save the criticism for the ideas, not each other.
Moderation Discretion: Mods will use reasonable judgment in applying these rules. We’ll be fair, but firm. These kinds of comms have a tendency to get off the rails, so we might seem overzealous in moderation sometimes.
For the moment, i'm allowing properly tagged NSFW content as long as its funny and relevant. Don't make me regret it.
And above all, HAVE FUN!

We know, this comm is specifically for satire and humor of the right-wing. We make some memes and crack some jokes to help deal with the sad reality we're all currently in
I see this misguided gripe all the time, people forget how important cultural and political messaging is for organizing and motivation.
I interviewed an old guy who fought in the spanish civil wars and he had this massive collection of pamphlets and leaflets and newsletters and posters from that period and, let me assure you, other than design, style, and medium, the messaging was consistent with current sarcastic memes and even shitposts. They made a lot if it, propaganda and useful info wrapped together, like in all struggles. That stuff is important.
Effective resistance strategy incorporates many tactics. You look to your expertise, and draw strength from others where you can.
The Spanish Civil War did not end well for antifascists. People were making fun of Francisco Franco well into his late 70s.
They did manage to blow up a minister though.
Yep but that’s a separate issue, geopolitics at play. Fascists and conservatives support each other internationally. I guess you can only assassinate character with a meme lol.
Hey, OP, this "transgenic vs transgender" thing actually is disinformation. The White House (ignore the Trump-brand petulant diaper baby bullshit) has presented easily verifiable receipts. They're:
Transgenic mice are mice given human genes to better test medicines before human testing. Better medicines help us all.
More transgenic stuff include bacteria with genes that produce life-saving medicines.
This is vitally important stuff.
PCOS can be considered a form of hormonal intersex and therefore legally doesn't happen /s
They didn't mix up transgender and transgenetic but they did take any study involving testosterone or estradiol and slap the label "gender affirming" on it.
Guys, understanding the effects of hormones on immune response and cancer incidence has implications far beyond "gender affirming" care.
Dear President Trump, Our Lord and Savior - Please get those awful TRANSistors out of OuR CoMpUtErS!!1!
Trains is Trains
That's why they probably won't like public transportation
I know a family member who got trained. Lost both legs but not his spirits.
Wait wait,
Are you telling me through a meme that they honestly misread some shit and posted it to the White House website (saw on another meme).
Man, if I wasn’t so worried about the future I would be laughing very hard right now (am chucking though).
I think they did a search for "trans" and it was either automatically discarded or if it was manually reviewed, the human didn't read much more than the computer.
What are the odds they ban trans fats on accident?
"Trans is bad, but I'm also really fat. Does not compute. Bleep-bloop." - Trump's brain.
"Honestly" is doing some heavy lifting in that statement, but yes.
(The people masterminding selling the government off for their own profit know it's a lie and don't care, but the people who put that message on the White House website probably genuinely are stupid enough to buy into it.)
From what I've seen, most of those studies involved using hormones and studying their effects on mice for various aspects. The Trump misdirection comes in where they assume that any use of hormones automatically means it's about transitioning. Hormone therapy is used in a ton of other situations, like treating menopause, genetic conditions and whatever it is men take extra testosterone for. Obviously it's important to know the risks and effects of hormone therapy for transitioning too, and that's also part of why those studies were commissioned.
Ironically, if they hadn't cancelled those studies and let them play out, and those studies found adverse effects, they'd be all over that shit.
Actually (ignore the petulant bullshit), they didn't misread anything. You can read each of those projects and see that it has nothing to do with transgenic anything. It is indeed related to how exogenous sex hormones affect mice.
I've given up on the future. I'm laughing my ass off.

If you can't handle me when I'm transgenic, you can't handle me when I'm transgender...
Beesly doesn't deserve this
Chefs kiss.
also...
We're in danger.
This is the type of "flood the zone" shit would be so easy to replicate if the DNC had the balls. Find one stupid thing, shout it all over, then let the memes roll in.
The memes would flood so hard if a flood of accurate, and publically palatable information was actively presented.
I've had a project involving a mixture of cis-polybutadiene/trans-polybutadiene and I've just been trying to turn my brain off while describing that "The concern is that an increase in trans is not specifically an issue with respect to the proportional amount of cis. Trans does not cause a problem with the overall material."
Once you remove external forces from the material, do some of the cis isomers feel safe enough spontaneously become trans? Better keep those trans heathens away from my Bucky ball field.
This was sarcasm. All enantiomers are welcome, regardless of chirality during bond formation.
