1. Spot on!

[Diamond_Dog]

2. Rec

[blm]

3. Spread it everywhere.

This should be a standard talking point for midterm campaigns.

[twodogsbarking]

4. So simple yet concise. You deserve ice cream.

[warmfeet]

5. Yes,

and we are the government. The government serves the will of the people (ideally). Pretty sure this is not the shit I want.

[Augiedog]

6. Republican "governments" are terrified of the common citizenry.

[Bumbles]

7. Perfect and to the point.

[niyad]

8. EXACTLY!!!

[Wounded Bear]

9. K&R...nt

[LilElf70]

10. It don't get any more

truthful, than that.

Yep, this should go viral.

[Beartracks]

11. Under Republican power, the "public" servants just seem to be serving themselves. n/t

[progressoid]

12. Uhmmm....no.

I get the sentiment. But it's a little too absolute.

[applegrove]

13. You're kidding, right? It fits in perfectly with gerrymandering

is politicians choosing their voters not voters choosing their elected representatives. You like that one, right?

[progressoid]

14. So this meme is specific to gerrymandering?

Because I was thinking that if someone were a violent right wing anti-government extremist, they would also love it if our government "knew nothing about" them.

[applegrove]

15. Obviously nobody is saying to let criminals go.

[progressoid]

16. Ironically, when I googled this image, the first match that came up was from the Nashville Tea Party

The second match was from a right wing Canadian account on X.

[applegrove]

17. We have awful people in Canada too.

[MoseShrute]

18. Also

Many politicians seem to have forgotten that they work for us. Taxpayers pay their salaries. Instead, many of them portray a sense of entitlement and act like they are lords of society. They are too good for common folks.

[OldBaldy1701E]

19. Ooooo... careful...

It seems that some get really pissed off when someone post a... *gasp*... meme.

Because... well, I am not sure why, actually. I guess they don't like images with their texts or something.

The irony is that your post has nothing but text on it. I still expect someone to complain about it.

(I happen to like this meme and will put it in the collection to have for a later discussion. Thanks, applegrove!)

[applegrove]

22. They don't like memes? 254 recs disagree. You are most welcome.

[liberalla]

20. Yes!

[Martin68]

21. Posted on FB. Let's see where it goes.

[chouchou]

23. Politicians and public servants have a duty to show most everything.

[Raine1967]

24. In theory, I tend to agree, but

I find that this is a little too binary.

We seem to have lost the idea of nuance as a nation in general.

[applegrove]

25. Some simple messages are needed. They flip a switch

in people's brains. Nuance can take place at another time.

[SheltieLover]

26. Kick
