The sombrero meme is a reach and maybe inappropriate, but this shutdown is more fun than past government shutdowns.

As I understand it, the Republicans want to pass a typical continuing resolution to keep the doors open for a few weeks. The Democrats want to bump the budget in their direction. The Republicans say the Democrats are holding out to get Medicare for illegal immigrants. I don’t know who is right, but the Republicans are having more fun.

The mariachi band and sombrero allude to illegal immigrants.  Like I said, it’s a reach, but it isn’t mean-spirited or racist. Mariachi music and sombreros are funny.

It seems like the first two videos came from Trump.  Social media is now picking up the meme and generating more of them.  No idea where the first one came from.

MSNBC and the Democrats are saying that the sombrero videos are the most racist and offensive AI videos that anyone has ever seen.  These guys don’t seem fun at all.

The AI generated fake audio for this one.

 

The AI did a really good job of Trumps as the mariachi band.

 

Some rando generated this one.  The “retardo” part is a give away.

 

Apparently a team wins a government shutdown by making the other side take the blame.  If the DNC keeps looking dour and touchy, they lose.
