A lot of people on the internet got a good giggle on Tuesday when the Democrats announced they were debating “Rule 34”, a change to internal rules affecting how the party will elect a new Speaker now that last week’s midterm elections have given them control of the House of Representatives. For those who don’t know why this was funny, Rule 34 is an ancient piece of internet meme-lore that states: “if it exists, there is porn of it, no exceptions”.
It is a foundational piece of internet subculture, and it is baffling – and troubling – that nobody in the Democratic party even seemed to know to suggest to anyone that this rule might have viral connotations. This is more important than it sounds. 4chan and other parts of the internet’s dark underbelly are incredibly influential in molding the culture of the web. People there talk of the “meme wars” – a subterranean synecdoche of the culture wars that have overtaken public discourse in recent years. In fact, the two are closely intertwined.
Democrats skew younger than the Republicans. How are they still losing the Meme Wars?
Easy Virgin loser gamers(who tend to drift to the far right) with no social life have way too much time on their hands, troll their life away.

Nathaniel Russell
FUCK I JUST LOST THE GAME!
Ethan Thompson
Since the ONLY losers who even use the term 'meme' are the .000001% of society, the Democrats don't give a flying fuck about Meme Wars…
Democrats are MUCH more concerned about where to dispose of their toenail clippings….
You live in a tiny, insignificant bubble
Ayden Foster
You're trying to distract from the fact that the Dems took the House, and more females were elected this time than ever before in history, which basically means Trump is fucked, which is exactly why he's been throwing his little temper tantrums all week.
At first, they tried to counterfeit memes. They lost. Then, they tried to ban meme production. They failed. Now they're calling us insignificant. Like that arrogant chess champ in my school losing to an AI and screaming about how one match is 'insignificant' while chimping out.
Beautiful.
Grayson Jackson
Sure looks like the Dems are winning to me, and with more women elected than ever before, trump is fucked.
Hudson Robinson
Meme this, Meme that, Meme, Meme, Meme.
Go watch some more anime, little boy
Ayden Johnson
They won the house, and just today even more won.
Theyre mainly women,
And Trump's fucked
Levi Lopez
Memes and cartoons:
Exactly why you have no girlfriends
Jose Lewis
Their losing their minds, not some 'meme war' which is nearly irrelevant for the majority of citizenry.
I'm sure glad I avoided that scam. All those so-called women just wanted me for my great personal wealth. Have fun having your dick sawed in half during the divorce proceedings, shill.
Cooper Morgan
THERE, THEIR & THEY'RE
Jacob Sullivan
The best part is: they clearly don't even know what a fucking meme *is*
They have no idea what's at stake - to disregard culture and become the mainstream is the first step out the door.
Wyatt Hernandez
I wouldn't call an old Dell laptop and 32 anime videos 'great personal wealth'
Liam Cooper
So, lemme get this straight, you have an old Dell laptop despite being financed by billionaires who have their grubby fingers in the child porn industry and this is your base standard for projecting and judging everyone else?
Shameful. I thought the service industry was the baseline, but you shills are even lower. I'd almost pity you - but I won't.
James Collins
This is what a data miner looks like. Just post wholesome anime and their kind melts down throwing tantrums and screaming in pain.
Asher Moore
oh they tried but they cant mime worth a shit
Michael Rodriguez
TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP Chanting this holding down the shift bar and no copy paste!
Luke Bailey
Look… compare the mid-terms from this presidency to Blobama’s and it’s pretty telling that the dems had to scrape every single resource together just to get the house. We’re about to be in the gridlock days since republicans have the senate.
>oh and don’t forget most of the dems who got elected were adamant about being (((not like the rest of the party))) which is why they got elected >they will have to stand by their more (((centrist))) claims in order to keep their seats
Jace Thompson
They won the House, sure, and split themselves at the same time because Cortez is already using her access to picket her own party's leadership with protesters. The Dems are going to spend the next two years trying to reign in the full blown Communists in their own ranks who won't toe the party line provided by their oligarch handlers.
Gridlock. Dems have House, but not the Senate, which they need to pass their crazy legislative agendas. Not to mention POTUS and SCOTUS is conservative too. So likely NOTHING is going to happen for two more years.
Inb4 "impeachment!"
The House can vote on it, but it has to pass the Senate too, in order for impeachment to take effect and Trump be removed. Unlikely to happen unless a lot of cucks cave.
Daniel Clark
hypothesis: the sterotypical soyboy communist democrat is ~30 years old now. many conservatives are younger millennials (20-25ish, prime meme-making age) but this is offset by millions of boomer (zionist) conservatives. so the "average" age of a democrat is 30 but the "average" republican is 50. democrats are just more clustered towards 30 while republicans are split between 20 and 70. and there are more old people than young people thanks to feminism.
Justin Carter
this is honestly the best gameplan for democrats
Isaiah Bennett
Your opinion remind me of sexual advice from dr. Ruth Westheimer….
Three or four generations ago, grandma and grandpa might have thought it was relevant or 'cutting edge', but those are days are long long long long long long gone you fucking piece of shit
Samuel Garcia
Maybe they're losing the meeeeeem war, but they're winning elections.
James Lee
Again, they won the HOUSE. Not the Senate (although they are trying their best to cheat a few disputed seats right now).
This covered it pretty well. Gridlock:
Jace Davis
=YOU UTTER PIECE OF TRASH I LOST THE GAME==
Ethan Campbell
Sure, flood the country with illegals, have them vote without citizenship or registration, and call it 'winning the elections'.
Jason Collins
not exactly, between 9/11, 2008 housing collapse, and a muslim president who passed homo marriage, they are that way cause of a chain of events that is out of their hands of control. get your shit straight.
Oliver Gonzalez
They are the meme wars.
Ayden Hall
Nigger that's factually incorrect
Xavier Bennett
Why would you out yourself as a literal boomer like that? Got any Beatles references while we are here?
Maybe one day you'll wake up and realize you were on the curmudgeon side the entire time. You're just like the far right Christians I grew up hating
Oliver Howard
basically children. my 10 year old nephews love trump
Cooper Rodriguez
Considering the state of the average woman today … Thank. Fucking. God!
Jordan Brooks
Who would have guessed?
Brandon Miller
Which part is incorrect? All of it? Why do you think I am a nigger?
Nathan Robinson
In 8 years you and everything you believe will be irrelevant.
Jeremiah Murphy
Those scummy bitch's aren't woman.
Isaac Russell
Colorado just sent 6 truck loads of votes to Florida. They should be there in about 3 days.
Ian Adams
It would help if the peeps running the DNC weren't faggot satan worshipping kikes
Eli James
see and
Jason Smith
Shit, mixed up the first two replies
Kayden Reyes
well then wait ten years kid instead of shitposting. you need to 18+
Daniel White
Game over man.
A.I. Can't understand memes. Corporate copyright and Communist censorship can't stop the messages conveyed by memes without expending too many resources for it to be worth it.
