I find it funny that younger people use Harambe for the pivot point. I thought shit seriously went downhill after 9/11…. Patriot Act and increased (overt) racism.
harambe has become a time marker like 9/11 was for the generation before.
The sheer fact that a gorilla dying is being used as an anchor period is kinda mind blowing.
Have you heard of the similar meme-theory that Shrek 1 was the last positive thing before it all went down?
right time, right place.
You're speaking of the bipartisan Patriot Act?
Who supported it is irrelevant to me. I’m very much a believer that Democrats are controlled opposition. So that’s not the gotcha you think it is.
