In this context, the meme is talking about liberals not in the American conservative vs liberal sense, but in the liberalism sense. Whereas leftists, who most Americans would think of as “extremely liberal”, are not actually liberals at all, since we oppose free market capitalism and private property.

It blows my mind that they keep doing that. Why do they think that going “see, we’re the good guys, and we’re so good that we’re going to peacefully hand over control of every branch of government to the fascists” as though the US population is going to see that a positive. It’s clear now, if it wasn’t before, that their claims of a threat to democracy was just campaign messaging for them, not a real belief. (And to be clear, the Republicans are very much a threat to what passes for democracy in the US.) The Democrats seem all too happy to be in the minority again and rake in the donations from outraged liberals who think that the old rules still apply.

I am here to chew bubble gum and post memes in the memes community, and I’m all out of bubble gum

Despite the meme, I totally agree! Most liberals I encounter are well-intentioned, but have been indoctrinated into thinking that capitalism is the best system we have available. Being patient and answering questions that explain what you actually believe, not what they’ve been told you believe, goes a long way. That said, being patient like that definitely a skill that is not always easy to get right, and certainly takes practice.

Out of curiosity, why do you think it wouldn’t work?

TLDW?

It might help with depression and anxiety. Definitely not a cure (take your meds!), but spending time in nature, exercising, and mindfulness do all show some benefits for mental health

A lot of models are being trained on “synthetic” data now, right?

Pretty cool, good on ya Bitwarden

I wouldn’t say either party are the “good guys”, but the Republicans are the worse of the two, and it isn’t even close.
