Even more than during the election. These are lazy memes where they poorly slap some text onto a blank billboard or a pickup truck tailgate, not even trying to fix the perspective. They either just suck at photoshopping or have a really bad AI bot.

I have probably blocked close to a hundred, but the troll bots just keep trying. I am convinced that the algorithms now consider blocking as "engagement", and the more I block, the more it sends similar trash to my feed.

Working on getting as many FB friends as I can onto Bluesky before giving Meta the finger.
