Counter signal memes aka poorly drawn comics that carry some message by portraying your point of view as the based smug chad and the opposing point of view as the tiny crying virgin.
Don't defend conservatism, fascism, centrism, or any form of hate.

[blue character points at a square] We've done a peer reviewed study, and concluded that all squares have four sides
[annoyed orange character points at a diamond shape] This is objectively wrong, I've personally seen a four sided structure that isn't a square

[a character smokes a cigar while ranting] The way leftists hate us no matter what we do is irrational, they're just jealous of success, I bet they'd find a way to hate us even if we stopped climate change and ended poverty
[the character walks away, cigar still in hand] Anyway, let's go vote some laws to accelerate climate change and increase poverty

[blue, holding a headset that's playing music] I can't wait to listen to my favorite song, the 1940 recording of "SS Military March", it's an all time classic!
[green, shocked at blue] Uhm, dude... Are you listening to nazi music?
[blue, still holding the headset, while the notes coming out of it turn into swastikas] What? Why would you say that? Is this yet another woke attempt at cancelling everything I like based on unfounded allegations?
14
[orange] Okay sure, we did massacre the economy and make ourselves look untrustworthy and unstable, but...
[zoom on orange grinning] We can now say slurs at work without facing consequences
[newspaper clipping] Corporate America embraces a new era of conservatism under Donald Trump. Bankers and financiers say that Trump’s victory has empowered those who felt they had to self-censor or change their language to avoid offending younger colleagues, women, minorities or disabled people. “I feel liberated,” said a top banker. “We can say [r-slur] and ‘pussy’ without the fear of getting cancelled . . . it’s a new dawn.”
[orange, celebrating] Worth it! I see this as an absolute win!
16
[holding a rose] Now hear me out... Sure, we did let them bring back slavery
[looking smug] But we negotiated that you can have longer and more comfortable chains this time around
[dropped the rose, still looking smug] We truly are defenders of the people

A smug character talks:

Blocking is amazing to silence the worst and amplify the best. Also as a reminder, treat everyone with kindness, and if you have nothing kind to say to someone, don't speak to them at all as they aren't worth your time! <3

[unhappy orange character] Life was so much better back in the day...

[orange character smirks while their slave toils away] What injustices? Everybody's happy here

A man whispers into another man's ear, reminiscent of the famous George W Bush image
MISTER PRESIDENT... A SECOND TRUMP MANDATE HAS HIT THE ECONOMY
A smiling orange plane with a red hat flies towards two towers. The left tower is destroyed, the word COVID on it. A second tower stands, with the word NASDAQ on it, and seems to be frowning. A confused building stares from below.
