    I’m confused why the reception to this post is so mixed… Are people interpreting this literally? I thought the message was pretty straightforward.

      It doesn’t fit the community well. It uses the phrase but sarcastically instead of sincerely. It’s also somewhat political. And without trying to be insulting to OP it’s pretty low effort and not particularly funny or insightful. Some people are going to downvote for those reasons even if they agree with the implied sentiment.

      It’s why I personally dislike memes that are essentially just a picture of someone’s opinion. People will also upvote them just to agree, so it encourages echo chambers instead of good discussion or learning.
