not that that means anything consistent in the first place

Yeaaaaaaah... I wasn't sure what to use as the title. By the time I had captioned the meme, I realized it didn't exclusively describe tankies. It also describes Tucker Carlson's whole audience.

In hindsight, I probably could have said, "Tankies and far right." There did not need to be symmetry in my statement.

No worries, everyone does it. Also didn't realize this was "/c/Tankiejerk".
