The bill would imprison people for 1 year if meme does not have a disclaimer.

Totally unconstitutional. But aside from that, political memes are political cartoons. There have been political cartoons for hundreds of years. Memes are just cartoons by people who can’t draw, which is most of us. There is no difference. This is just unconstitutional oppression of free speech. If the cartoon is slander then that’s a slander case. And the bar for… Read more »
