Memes require telling the truth - which is interpreted by the reader from the meme and applied to their internal own narrative. The left doesn't have memes. They have "political comics"and propaganda in which the narrative is told to the reader from selected truths and facts in order to reaffirm narratives constructed elsewhere. They are far less personal than memes which require learning shibboleths and deducing meaning on the part of the reader.
To re-iterate: The left's version of a meme (or even a facebook boomer meme)tells a reader what to think with surface level abstract thinking at best and simply reinforces what the reader has seen a thousand times. The "right-wing" meme 's meaning is personally derived by the reader and can be interpreted an infinite number of ways, but if you already have knowledge about the truths underlying the meme, you can abstractly interpret the meme "correctly" you "get" the meme and it is much more personal and therefore funny. You become connected to a hilarious group in-joke which in typical human experience, is much more funny and rewarding than shallow political satire.
The fact that the "right wing" ideas behind "right wing" memes aren't allowed to be discussed in media and public amplifies this effect.
Pic related is a meme that brought me to tears of laughter when I first saw it. There's no "punchline" per se. But just to see the symbols and ideas of an (at that time unspoken) concept that I knew to be "true" expressed so accurately through a shitty mspaint drawing was hilarious. To explain this now old meme would ruin it, and drive it into the ground even more.
By looking at their memes I feel like I can understanding their psyche better. For example this shows how bugmen are petrified of using originality: https://kek.gg/i/867SJ7.jpeg
has anyone ever found one of their memes funny and shared it not for political reasons? pepe and momiji and others were popular memes on their own before and after they got political
The best messages are showing common sense and quirks or contradictions of everyday life. You shouldn't have to have several degrees in liberal studies to understand a cartoon/meme. Otherwise it's an inside joke which makes it elitist.

This is why they will lose. Their ideas are garbage, their people are garbage, and their organizations are garbage.

Their memes reek of bitterness. Ours are multidimensional, they entertain and educate.
