I think I've found what separates leftist memes from right-leaning memes:

Right-leaning memes are funny. All they really do is poke holes in the logic used by their opponents. They point out inconsistencies in behavior, and highlight disproportionate responses to perceived slights. And even when the meme is advocating something really heinous, like genocide, it's at least clever.

Leftist memes are contrived to establish that their opponents are malicious actors. Take this one for instance. It implies that border patrol is filled with people who can't wait to kill innocent people. This is the Left's reaction to Vietnam vets all over again. There's no humor here. They might laugh at it, but that's programmed laughter, instilled by various mouthpieces such as Colbert, Trevor Noah, pretty much every A-List celebrity, and so on. But there doesn't appear to be anything clever in this cartoon. Maybe someone can show me a cartoon or meme on the right that is as heavy handed and dumb as this is.
