You're making a lot of broad assumptions about audiences. And "serious conversation"... My sibling in Satan this is c/politicalmemes.

These memes don't just stay on Lemmy either. They get reposted all across the internet, printed on stickers and posters and t-shirts. The UK just jailed journalists last week for the terrible crime of projecting a picture of Trump and Epstein together on a building during Trump's visit. It's very much a topical issue that is heavily tied to broader issues of free speech and political corruption. And it's not just about Trump- how many other powerful people are in those files that faced no consequences? This isn't distracting from other issues- it's a part of them. All of these other issues seem to always track back to billionaires promoting horrible inhuman behavior and fascism, so I don't see how the Epstein files are distracting from anything.

I'm also critical of Biden and Garland for not doing more with this when they were in power. This isn't

It doesn't just happen here genius. I've seen such reaction images on news stories about the administration looking to label antifa as terrorists. This is a seriously scary move that will be used to silence any dissent, but apparently it's all a fucking distraction from well established pedophilia by a man above the law.

I really I shouldn't be surprised by the reaction here. If we're talking about audience, I know a lot of people here are the ones who need to see this meme.
