The left can't meme so stop falling for this stupid shit.
You're playing right out of their hand.
https://www.businessinsider.com/dark-maga-explained-far-right-memes-calling-for-trump-revenge-2022-5Memes with the Dark MAGA aesthetic frequently depict Trump in dramatic black and red-tinted images, often with laser beams shooting out of his eyes.
"A big part of the aesthetic involves memes of a God-like, authoritarian Trump getting revenge on perceived opponents," Dr. Caroline Orr Bueno, a behavioral scientist researching far-right extremism, told Insider.
"It's an aggrieved movement centered around the idea of a vengeful return to power. They're embracing the role of the villain and stripping away any facade of decency or political correctness."
Although not explicitly endorsed by Donald Trump, the movement appears to be gaining more mainstream support – including from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who on May 7 posted an image with the Dark MAGA aesthetic.
I bet all of you calling it "Satanic" had nothing to say when Marjorie Taylor Green and so many others were making the reference about themselves or fellow Conservatives.

The MTG tweet there is after the dark Brandon crap isn’t it?
Nope. The laser shooting out of Trump's eyes as the "Dark MAGA" meme started before the Dark Brandon meme.
The Dark Brandon meme was a copy of the Dark MAGA meme and combined aspects of the Let's Go Biden meme with it.
Basically a way of "If we start calling ourselves the same nickname and make light of it, it loses the power to be used against us."
Ben Shapiro and others were all butthurt the liberals started copying the Dark MAGA meme and "ruining it."
The meme (Dark Brandon) first began to catch on in late summer of 2022, trending on Twitter and drawing mockery from right-wing influencers like Ben Shapiro, while other posters complained that the libs ruined their meme. But the origin and potential cringe elements didn’t stop many Biden supporters from wholeheartedly embracing and running with the imagery.
This MTG twitter post referring to the Dark MAGA trend was a few months before the Dark Brandon meme even started.
Pretty sure they used this image and others like it to copy off it.
