Memes are shorthand, often inaccurate or inappropriate, vehicles for communicating concepts and ideas by simplifying and condensing complex and controversial subject matter in an effort to make a point with material that is entertaining or amusing.

There are a number of reasons to be critical of memes. However, there are instances when the meme is an accurate representation of a political or social phenomenon that speaks volumes…

There’s really no reason to reinvent the wheel each time you seek to articulate your point of view when it is shared and articulated by a meme that is artful, tasteful, amusing, entertaining, accurate, and truthful….
