It's because they've forgotten what humor is. They're so used to living at INTENSITY LEVEL FUCKING ELEVEN all the time that they don't even recognize a joke anymore.

I think those memes are great, they're funny. People share them because they're good for a laugh, that's literally it. I guess the Atlantic has a strict "no sense of humor" hiring policy.

The left outlawed ALL humor years ago!

Have you watched a TV "comic"?

Especially since the launch of the scamdemic?

Yeah, the Left has absolutely so sense of humor which is why Trump demolishes them on the socials! They have nothing like him and never will at the rate they are imploding! Haha!

Humor - especially sarcasm - is a form of intelligence. What does that say about the left??

Yes. The people writing articles for The Atlantic and commenting on all the Vance memes are childless women. It's like being in a foreign country for them.

I've got three, now-adult sons and this sort of thing was constant when they were teens. I don't get the humor, but I don't think I'm supposed to.

CHILDLESS WOMEN! These women have zero common sense and have no idea how men operate in the real world. The are entirely narcisstic, and moron navel gazers.

They are in no way or fashion related to me! They embarrass themselves by inhaling and exhaling.

I mean... childless wouldn't even be that bad if they at least had some brothers or cousins to grow up around.

I should have edited my comment to say "childless and bitter"; not all childless are like these awful women.

I grew up with brothers and was a tomboy until my teens when I discovered boys. I get the humor. It's an exposure thing. And not being a humorless scold. :)

My sister noticed her just maturing son and daughter (Irish twins) calling other spastic, or spa for short, or handicaps. She exploded and banned their use of these words. Then she heard her son call his sister a Christy. Familiar with My Left Foot? She just gave up.

Same. Two sisters. Then married a Marine and had a son. Men are different, and thank God for it.

The Atlantic readers are the people who start to laugh a second after everyone else does because they don’t know what’s funny and what will get them eaten alive by their own kind.

There's a great 4-panel cartoon that contrasts the way men and women interact among their own kind. There are two sequential lady panels and two sequential guy panels.

Lady panel one: a group of girls at a bar greet a friend arriving. They say things like Hi sweetie! You look great! I love those cute shoes! Lady panel two: the friend leaves and they say She's such a bitch! I think she gained weight! Her shoes were so ugly!

Guy panel one: same scenario, but guys. Friend arrives, They say things like Hey faggot! Your hair looks like shit! Are you still a virgin? Guy panel two: the friend leaves and they say I love that guy! Yeah he's awesome! He's the best!

That rings so true.

Have these people never seen a roast? You know - where all of the person’s best friends and colleagues make hilarious jokes and everyone laughs, including the subject? Wow. They have no sense of humor. That, frankly, is frightening.

One descriptive term for these predatory parasites from the past was “pinch faced fanatics.” Their kind have never had anything like a sense of humor that I ever observed making that lack a way of identifying them. Calling such people psychopaths is an insult to honest psychopaths btw who don’t have nearly the creep factor that these beady eyed, rat faced creeps do.

It's projection. If liberals were sharing nominally unflattering memes of Kamala Harris two years ago, it would mean she was being marginalized. Liberals tend towards a feminine style of interrelating while conservatives favor a more masculine style. Men casually rib each other as a sign of affection in way that

women would find vicious and cruel. I'll hazard the writers and editors of publications like the Atlantic are the heavily socialized products of feminized universities. They have little direct experience with masculine men--working class men, for example. They don't understand them, and they don't even understand that they don't understand them. Thus they assume these memes indicate derision, rather than what they really indicate, which is affection.

There's a sequence of scenes in the 2008 classic Gran Torino where Clint Eastwood is showing his teenage Hmong refugee neighbor how to hang out with men and bust balls. Maybe it should be used as a model for real world training for the children of Kamala voters. https://youtu.be/74I7Nl1mKig?si=vvz3_K2RlJ2oqqi5

If you are hanging out with a bunch of dudes and no one is busting your balls, it’s because they don’t like you.

Trump has done a D-Day invasion on the Democrats. They are overwhelmed on the sea, in the air and on the ground. Every attempt at fighting back has been an abject failure. They are leaderless and no one is coming to their rescue. So they are in full panic mode. Given their pathetic state, they are looking 4 years down the road and see 8 years of JD Vance. Hence, these pathetic, weak attacks by a pathetic weak political party.

Yep. Scared sh*tless. Kinda like 2024 who should run? Biden? Yes. Wait. Hell no! Williamson? Obama? Maybe. Wait. No. The other one? Kennedy. Phillips? Dr Jill? No the VP what’s her name? Oh yeah. And that guy from Minnesota. No, the other one. Winning ticket. And pull up the abortion vans.

Liberals have no sense of humor whatsoever. None. It’s mind boggling they miss it, but even I, a woman laughed at those memes, which are to those of us with a funny bone obviously affectionate in their mockery of Vance. JD, by the way, has a wonderful sense of humor himself and probably gets a kick out them as well.

No, I don’t trust journalists to clarify anything. I don’t trust them to even tell the truth about anything, at all. Lying liars lie. The Atlantic article is a pys-op. It’s got Regime finger prints all over it. The Atlantic probably wrote it with the last payment they got from USAID. The Regime knows JD Vance Is knocking it out of the park as a VP, which means he is the front runner for 2028. After watching the DemonRats self destruct during the SOTUA, the Regime knows JD has no viable competition. So… they pretend memes of him as an alligator wrestler or the President who saved the Union are BAD. Pretenders pretend. Liars lie. That in a nutshell describes the Regime’s media.

This is hilarious to me. Vance has a unique look that is fun to meme. And the memes are the highest form of tribute to a guy the meme makers view as their “bro”. Pretty much unheard of when it comes to politicians (almost all narcissistic scumbags) or political figures (like Trump — who is much respected and admired but less relatable). The Vance memes are an “our guy” signal of a band of brothers, ride or die, phenomenon. Purest form of male compliment.

The effete crowd at The Atlantic probably never played team sports, never served in the military, never did anything that would wreck their manicure, and don't understand how men act with men. It's a shame, but at least they're where we can keep an eye on them.

I am skeptical that the humorless, mostly frumpy women (and men) at the Atlantic actually get manicures. I think they would consider it frivolous, beyond contempt, not serious.

A long, long time ago I came home from school upset because my friends were making fun of me. My ddd sat me down and told me not to be upset because you only tease people you like. This has served me well whether I was being teased or I was teasing someone I liked.
