I DDG'd "Harris memes" hoping to find a harissa (yes, the hot chili paste) themed one. Instead I mostly found memes that looked like Republicans attempting to be funny and failing miserably. The memes had no punch line, made no sense, and were mostly based on pure disgust and hate for her as a person with no real criticism of her political actions.

I don't like Harris and would probably just leave the US if I was born there and take my vote elsewhere to a system that maybe remotely makes sense. But those memes were sad. If anything they tell of a human condition that has affected some diehard Republicans online. I think some of them need help.

It takes a certain level of intelligence and insight to be funny. Unfortunately for the far right, anyone above that threshold of intelligence & insight is too smart to be far right.
