Did you just link the meme? If that’s the case let me emphasize that it’s YOUR responsibility to educate your dad the world will not do it for you. You have the ability to do something about your dad and you cannot do anything about memes on the internet. Your energy responding to anything on Lemmy is wasted energy. You cannot convince someone not to meme but you might have the ability to change the mind of someone in your life. Good luck bud.
I linked you to this comment which addresses the fundamental misunderstanding you are under:
My dad is a lost cause and he will share a bunch of shit with vulnerable media-immunocompromised independents and most of it won’t land, but something like this would. Especially if some of those independents are seeking a return to decorum and decency in their politicians and credibly believe Tim Walz is eagerly engaging in the same kind of name calling Trump is. Especially after news networks have run headlines about how Walz is going to be the MAGA attack dog or whatever. People are primed to believe this shit. Not people like you and me, stupid people that can also vote.
But by all means, enjoy the memes. I know how I sound but I’m also pretty sure I’m right.
Fundamental misunderstanding? The misunderstanding is you think the world should cater to the uneducated and uninformed. Your dad isn’t a lost cause but crusading on the internet to remove memes might be.
I’m speaking of the way the world is at this present, very pivotal moment, not the way it should be.
And I’m not crusading, I’m discussing and I am advocating a position in those discussions. Are you able to appreciate the distinction?
Idiots vote, and idiots pass memes around. You can think I’m being an alarmist all you want but the concept is very simple and you should at least consider that you aren’t as media literate as you think you are.
