Nice, good one. Great job matching the fonts. I went looking for the original image, and discovered the Library of Congress site. Huge bonus there, I've been digging through the National Archives Catalog, trying to find relevant WWII posters.

I don't think that makes the quote, the idea, any less valuable, though.
Weird, there's a facebook page with the number, and it's all in some Indian language. Google translate says Nepali? Hit the bottom text to get rid of the login panel, "अहिले होइन".

Keep an eye on the alexa rank, see if it goes up at all? The graph has been flat since September 1st, doesn't seem like that's possible.

Good one, %99.8 survival rate, or whatever it is. The fourth line on this is bugging me, the "I" should be on the next line, I think.

The deport button has "Trump supporters" as the first option, just saying. OP account is only 5 days old, and does this for its first post?

Another suggestion, if I may? I think it would be a real benefit to the site here if someone were to make a step-by-step tutorial on creating a meme. It would have to start with the most basic steps.
Right-click to save image, from the original web page. Search google for image to find the best one, or the largest size. Uploading the image to the editing website. ( I'm assuming this would be a Photopea tutorial; I haven't checked to see if other tutorials exist. )
Working with two images at the same time. For example:
Isolating the head from a person in one image, dealing with fuzzy hair or other difficult contours. Pasting the head onto a second image.
Scaling the head correctly, to fit the second image. Rotating the head, to fit the angle of the body in the second image. Blending the transition between the two images at the neck line. Or, working with layers to cut the head from the first image to fit the collar of the second image.
Touching up the background, to clean up any parts of the original head in the image that were still visible.
Adding text to the image, selecting fonts, colors, outlines. Adding text to something like a picture of a person holding a sign. Erasing the text in the original image. Applying perspective or rotation to the new text, to fit the angle of the sign.
Saving the image to your hard drive. Uploading the image to a meme site or something like imgur.
The directions would have to assume that the reader knew how to hold a mouse, but had never done anything like right-click to save image. I have talked to people on the site here who were at that level of understanding.
It might be worth writing a specific tutorial for mac, and one for windows. One for linux, also, even if it's the exact same tutorial as the windows one, with screenshots from Ubuntu instead of windows 10 or whatever.
It might also be worth writing an advanced tutorial. The meme here is basically professional quality, I think. I'm not even sure what extra steps were involved there.
https://thedonald.win/p/HXoauhQw/geotus-the-meme/c/
You could probably post that sort of thing every week, or at 6 AM and 7 PM the same day, without people objecting.
It does say alexa on the side there, but I missed it the first time. Might work better to have the whole url, in the middle of the graph at the bottom. "alexa.com/siteinfo/thedonald.win" -- not a whole lot more text, and it lets people check for themselves.
Maybe curve the end part of the projected line down a little bit, so it doesn't look so optimistic? Great image, though. Maybe even add "what happened here?" where the ??? is. There's no way that everyone in the US just stopped hearing about the site at the same time, big redpill meme there.
Could even add like, someone in a maga hat with a gag over their mouth, in the bottom panel? I can't tell what the person on the right side is supposed to be doing, I guess that's just part of the background though.
Might be worth checking the alexa rankings for other conservative sites, demonstrate that they've been throttled too? Makes the meme more "newsworthy"? This version is only going to matter to td.win people, you're preaching to the choir basically?

Good one. Good manners, show respect, raised properly, good statement of what's gone wrong these days, I think. It could even say "and I'm not a God damned Communist" at the end, just my opinion though.
The thing that irks me is that it looks like he's drowning in text there. I'd move the text down to the bottom, with the same margin that "because I was raised" has on the left and right. Don't cover the revolver. Or any part of the main character in the meme, basically.

Good one, I am starting to get into that habit too. Haven't made a specific td win folder yet though, lol.

Really? What policies has he copied? You mean like Roosevelt's New Nationalism?
I took a second to check for any warnings about scams, viruses, etc, and I didn't see anything. It looks like the website is ad-supported, and you have the option of paying $9 every 30 days to shut the ads off.
There's also this article from May of this year, that calls it the best free photoshop alternative.

https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/free-online-image-editing-tools-replace-photoshop/
.
But there's only 34 upvotes here. Why? Again, my personal opinion is that it reads and "feels" like an ad.
.
I think what I would've done is post a link to the article above. Maybe a different article with a similar list, but makeuseof has a good reputation. Again, you're giving people something useful, not just saying "try this! Try it!"
Drop all the language like "Unleashing your creative power has never been easier." I didn't even get the sarcasm, I just went, "eww, someone is spamming their garbage here."
My suggestion for a post title is to do something like this,
.
makeuseof.com -- "5 Lesser-Known Free Online Image Editing Tools to Replace Photoshop" -- a meme toolkit, some good apps for editing images, removing backgrounds, adding effects, and resizing. #MemeWar
.
Quote the title of the linked article directly. Try to include words that people might search on later, also.
Then in the description, say that you've used Mara and Photopea, and they're both great tools. Maybe add that you downloaded Remove BG and it looks good so far, it worked well on a few images you tested. You don't have to emphasize Photopea at all, the article does that for you.
How well does Photopea do at adding text to images? Lots of fonts, black outlines, ability to change font and outline colors easily? I'm not asking you for the information. But it would be a great feature to mention in the post. Maybe even add a comment to the post, with links to the tutorial pages?
I'm not sure when you posted this. But it seems like early mornings on the weekend is a good time, maybe 6 or 7 AM, USA time. People are getting up, checking the site, catching up on what happened overnight. Look at the vote counts on my recent submitted items. The "Archie Bunker" to "Apocalypse Now" memes were all posted at the same time, early on Sunday morning.

Yeah, no, I have to say that to me, this sounds like an ad. I mean, that is my gut reaction to reading the post. "What if I told you there is..." ok, and the next line is "But wait, there's more! Order now and you'll receive our complimentary gift of SIX STEAK KNIVES!" basically.
I have never tried photopea. Never even heard of it. The only bad thing I'm seeing from a quick google search is that it didn't work on "older" browsers, in 2019. Is it one of those things where you get basic features for free and have to pay for the advanced ones?
You know what would have made this a great post? A big list of web sites and editing tools that people could use. Maybe a plug for photopea at the end of the list, or whatever. Try and provide something of value, I mean.
At least you didn't start off with "Hello my fellow pedes. I have something fantastic to share with you, fren. All you Meme War Veterans know how important it is to have a good photoshop. But the new recruits don't have any softwares yet. Get some! Here is free good software I can recommend for you! Meme the fuck out of your good ideas!" and whatever. If you want any help with ad copy or writing your next post, just let me know.

How on earth could someone not be able to download gimp? On ubuntu, you open software center, search for gimp, select it and hit install. Probably just as easy on windows and mac. I bet there's a version for Android. Maybe even Amiga.

I'm commenting on this because I was looking for the GEOTUS meme post in community search and got clickbaited by the title. Good title, 10/10 would click again. And then I was like, wtf is this shit. Just trying to provide some feedback here. (Still having some very negative responses, honestly, really wanted to be all sarcastic and insulting in the last sentence there. But like the old saying goes, "if you can't say anything nice, come over here and sit by me.")
Did you catch this one?
My first thought was, ok, someone thinks it's not diverse enough. Not enough strong female characters in leading roles. Brock Samson obviously too full of toxic masculinity.
Are they planning a calarts style venture sisters reboot maybe. Huge popular show and they just drop it, who exactly are the new execs, etc.
"Update from Doc Hammer --
SEP 8, 2020 —
Yup, canceled. You're right by saying 'Sucks.' Here’s my take on the whole thing. The ‘big picture’ of it. The hows, whys, and what-nows are still shrouded in secret codes passed in clandestine meetings. But what really matters to me is what the Venture Bros. is, was, and always shall be. The Venture Bros. is a little baby made by me and Jackson. From the sweaty foundry of our love, experience, and connection, we made a thing that touched some of you deeply. Neat! That "love foundry" hasn't been shut down. Jackson and I are still in love with you and each other. Sooo if we make another baby, you gotta promise to love it. I promise it will love you. How could it not? You're awesome, thrifty, clean, and have great taste. "Go Team Venture!"
All you'd have to do for this is move the text over to the right and down a little. Plenty of contrast with the jacket and door there.
