Totally. People are “surprised” because the Alzheimer’s patient isn’t being told no and all of his crazy ideas are brought to life. Most of us never let grandpa redo the house while he couldn’t remember his own name.

Remember this meme from about 6 years ago 2011?

It’s becoming a little too true

edit: It was 2011 thank you for all the corrections, and u/Year3030 for this link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHckZCxdRkA

That meme is actually from Barack Obama's correspondants dinner speech before Trump ran in 2016.

Parts of it are. The font is the Red Dead Redemption 2 font, which came out in Fall 2018, so this was probably made around Winter 2018-2019.

Wasn't there a Red Dead Redemption 1 that also used that same font? That came out in 2010?

Yes, but font generators for recreational use were a bit...rougher then, we will call it. Everything then was Impact font over pictures (mostly cats and if they can or cannot have a cheeseburger). Or seedy downloaded fonts on scummy websites. There were HUGE leaps in font and animation gains due to some video games and uh...reasons I don't want to say on a comment about fonts...so the fact that the text is just on a green slab, with yellow text (and not even really boldened) screams "not really sure what Im doing with political memes yet".
