I do wish these things depicted more just a MAGA person screaming at random people. The left generally wants to be able to move past the seething hate of the right to make the class war we are already fighting a lot easier but the right just can’t help but fight for their oppressors.

It’s getting tiring seeing these like it’s news to both people in the image.

A person with blue hair and glasses isn't a political statement. A person wearing a hat saying "Make America Great Again." , is.

Republicans want you to think of "both sides," but it's just backsliding into corruption, at least in NON-politicians that accept their doctrine.

If you see someone with blue hair and glasses and assume they're liberal, you haven't met very many military wives. I thought we were over the "gamer gate" feminist hate.

Go tell LGBT communities that their concerns are just a “distracting culture war” I’m sure that’ll go over great.

In the US, if you sit a voter down, either a republican or democrat, and talk to them like a person, find out their desires, passions, fears, anxieties, and hope for the future. MOST of them want the same damn thing, they are just listening to a different source of misinformation for how to fix it. Neither Republican nor Democrat parties actually have a long term fix for any of our issues. They have temporary Band-Aids that will wear off as soon as they leave office so it looks like the next guy did it. They both do this while slowly eroding away at the very basic rights we as citizens are guaranteed by the laws of the land.

In the still, sadly, relevant words of Lyndon Johnson,

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

A more accurate image this year would be two leftists fighting in the tank, while the billionaire and a maga supporter watch the leftists fight.

Boiling everything down to class warfare is...

Manichaean.

To get to this level of thinking you need to actively disregard issues like abortion and healthcare. You need to trivialize the problems people are sincerely and passionately fighting over. Posts like these are looking you dead in the eye and saying "The things you care about don't matter, this rich guy stealing your shit does".

As someone who has been radicalized by the pure insanity of the Republican party, it's the most condescending shit I've read in recent memory and only serves as propaganda for the right because they're the only ones who benefit from everyone shifting focus while they control checks notes oh yeah, the entire governmental body.

I hate this argument because it is generally made by people who have never had bigots right in their face.

Rich people didn't tell them to hate others because they're queer or black. Their parents did. And their parents before them. The whole family tree rotted and if you want to blame the rich for that, you'll have to blame the rich that died many generations ago.

Suggesting that the ruling class is the only thing dividing people is naïve to the extreme. It doesn't matter how much you convince someone that the billionaires are their enemy. Even if they accept that (and many do), they're not the biggest enemy and never will be. That's just not how hatred and bigotry work. You might get people to agree that there is a class war and they are losing, but as long as they're losing less than the n--s, they're still winning and fuck you if you think they're going to fight side by side with them.
