While the political memes accepted on Facebook brownnose aboveboard to humans who already agree, sometimes the memes get twisted. And mutated. And even co-opted by the adverse party.
Facebook's abstracts science aggregation has a alluring column about the change of memes on the site. They attending at one political meme in particular, which you may anamnesis from September 2009, if Obamacare was aboriginal authoritative its way through Congress.
No one should die because they cannot allow bloom care, and no one should go bankrupt because they get sick. If you agree, column this as your cachet for the blow of the day.
The aggregation begin 121,605 altered variants of this meme in 1.14 actor cachet updates in all. Some were just slight diction changes, such as "the blow of the day" (blue dots in the diagram above) switched to ("next 24 hours").
But things got a little weird, too: Zombies appeared in the meme, and again Jabba the Hut. As the meme fabricated its way beyond Facebook, altered variants took authority in subcultures, like aberrant creatures acclimatized to hardly altered habitats. What's a lot of absorbing is how they assorted beyond the political spectrum, based on the user's self-identified political leanings on Facebook:
Conservatives co-opted the pro-Obamacare meme into a bulletin adjoin government and taxes—the exact adverse of the meme's aboriginal intent. Sci-fi geeks assume to angular liberal. And everybody hates cancer. Glad we can at atomic accede on that.
This all injects addition ambit to the altercation of Facebook's role in the animosity of American politics. Certainly we are account each others' statuses. We're even biting them.
