Yeah.... no.
The real unequivocal truth is, people from either ends of the political spectrum can make equally dank AND also equally bad memes. To deny this fundamental truth is the equivalent of denying the existence of gravity.
Let's first drop the stereotypes and concede to the fact that there is not a sliver of evidence which suggests your political identity is linked to good/bad memes. That is rather determined by one's creativity. It is a fallacy to assume that memes and politics are mutually inclusive, unless the meme itself is explicitly about politics.
Some individuals are so obsessed with political dichotomy that they become oblivious that a more apparent and broader classification (or way of thinking) exists. For instance, not everyone is into crude humour. It's as simple as that.
If anything, there is a far larger distinction between age groups, than between leftists and rightists, with regards to our ability to create the dankest of the dank memes. Boomers are the only ones that can't meme due to being accustomed to a different techno-cultural climate, hence creating the REAL immutable law of the universe: "๐๐ค๐ค๐ข๐๐ง๐จ ๐๐๐ฃ'๐ฉ ๐ข๐๐ข๐".

Person 1: The left can't meme!
Person 2: Wrong, the right can't meme!
Person 3: Neither of you are correct. Both the left and the right (assuming we're talking about people in general, and not collectively) are just as capable of creating good memes as they are capable of creating bad memes to the point that such occurrences which justify the "left can't meme" stereotype are merely by random chance.
Person 1: That's impossible! It was known since antiquity that the world revolves around a single immutable law, and that law is that the left can't meme!
Person 3: *chuckles softly* Well, my friend, it appears that you are mistaken. First of all, that is pure nonsense based off an unverified folklore. Second of all, it's actually a law that applies to the entire universe, and that law is ๐๐ค๐ค๐ข๐๐ง๐จ ๐๐๐ฃ'๐ฉ ๐ข๐๐ข๐.
*Person 1, after hearing upon that phrase, suddenly collapses onto the ground and starts to have an epileptic seizure*
Person 3: Thot so.
*Person 2 is seen running way in the distance*

Get the The Left Can't Mememug. OnePlus phones used to be lauded by the Android community for bringing premium hardware and specs at a budget price. They are known for inventing the quote-on-quote "flagship killer". They lost all that merit once they started including a premium price alongside their premium phones, as well as "settling down" by removing the headphone jack. That is not to say their phones are bad, but they lost the core virtue of what they stood for. Today, people mainly buy a OnePlus just for the brand.
Like a famous Tech Youtuber once stated, "you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain."

User X: After using an iPhone for my entire life, I finally decided to switch over to the OnePlus 9! So this is the flagship killer they've been talking about.
User Y: I hate to break it to ya but you're late to the party my guy. OnePlus has already settled, what you have is not a flagship killer anymore, it's just another high-end smartphone with a high-end price tag attached to it. IMO the OnePlus 3 was their peak smartphone.
User X: Idk man, the OnePlus 9 seems pretty great to me.
User Y: Oh don't get me wrong, the OnePlus 9 is a great phone and is a great pick for someone who's transitioning over from iPhone to Android. But this isn't the budget-friendly OnePlus we used to all love and know. That was my point.

Get the OnePlusmug. by Mary Mary Quite The Contrarian March 20, 2022
Get the Degen Hoursmug. A very useful thing. Some people might find it cringe, but tone indicators are seriously useful for anyone who finds it hard to understand the true meaning or implications in someone's texts, especially someone you don't know well. I would go so far as to say it's an evolution in our way of communicating online. They should really be used more often by people who naturally text in a cold and dry manner.
Scenario ๐๐ถ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ tone indicators involved:
Person 1: Hey wanna play minecraft together?
Person 2: ok
Person 1: ??
Person 2: what
Person 1: Is that like a genuine ok or a sarcastic one or...
Person 2: I just meant ok
Person 1: Ohh, gotcha. Sorry my brain kinda interpreted it like you thought I was bothering you๐
Scenario ๐๐ถ๐๐ต tone indicators involved:
Person 1: Hey wanna play minecraft together?
Person 2: ok /gen
Person 1:๐
See how much less problematic the 2nd scenario was?

Get the Tone Indicatorsmug. An absolute dogshit of a president, and that's a fact. Go read literally every definition here to see why this dude was a real phony and scumbag. Those who keep writing good definitions of him will keep on being downvoted indefinitely.
Ronald Reagan the type of dude who would promote decadent consumerism and large-scale industrialism (ร la laissez faire) while downplaying serious issues such as climate change, the income gap, and social equity and welfare in general. A reagan society would be a dystopian one where the middle-class and the lower-class live in atrociously different environments.
He is that type of villain in a dystopian movie who appears to be outwardly friendly and good-hearted towards his citizens but in reality he is a cunning deceitful SOB who takes advantage of them.

Get the Ronald Reaganmug. A very primal and potent form of instinctive behavioral learning. This is innate in humans and animals of all kind (including fish, worms, etc). Classical conditioning forms the reason and basis for all unhealthy addictions and fetishes.
In an Orwellian type of situation, one could theoretically take over the world if they could classical condition their citizens (in fact, megacorporations are already doing it right now via advertisements).

The teacher played the exact same song every time we took a quiz. I now hate that song thanks to classical conditioning.
Even though I ate dinner, I started craving for a burger after watching a Wendy's commercial, all thanks to classical conditioning.
After seeing all these hot bikini girls in a beer commercial, brad suddenly felt the desire to crack open a cold one, all thanks to classical conditioning.
You could very well get turned on by a fire hydrant all thanks to classical conditioning.

Get the Classical Conditioningmug. Basically just another term for friends with benefits, where the relationship only consists of fucking and nothing else.
