The overall message there is about a grudge and bias against the left. That's all. There is nothing constructive. That's the RW echo chamber of endless celebration Festivus with an airing of grievances.

Remember that social media can be an amplifier for people who want to push a message and a view. It is not necessarily a representation of real life demographics.

If you know that, then you can resist taking the bait.
