Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

The people who argued for that are the same folks that see the trolley problem and don't pull the lever because pulling the lever would make them responsible for the result, while they feel like not taking action (even explicitly, intentionally not taking action) absolves them of responsibility for the result. So in their view they'd either be responsible for one person getting run over, or not responsible for 5 getting run over.
