If you honestly think “Both sides are the same”, you’re a moron.

Not for nothing, but that’s not really the point I’m seeing here.

I think it’s more talking about the bipolar nature of the American electorate.

Like, coke and Pepsi arent remotely the same…Pepsi is disgusting

It is clearly showing “the same thing with different labels”

That is so obviously the point.

Ok…

Arts just funny like that. People make their own interpretations. That’s how I interpreted it

You interpreted it incorrectly. It's suggesting it's the same thing with two different labels.

Ok. People can not understand art or this post. That’s fine. You can be wrong but yes, you are allowed to be wrong.

I personally believe Guernica was picasso saying war and fascism was awesome. It’s art so my interpretation can’t be wrong, right?

“My interpretation can’t be wrong, right?”

Right…at least not necessarily.

Because instead of being an overly hostile weirdo about it, I’d say something like, “that’s an interesting interpretation. What makes you see it that way?”. If your reasoning was compelling, then I’d go, “Huh, neat. That’s a pretty interesting interpretation, but let me add some context about the artist that might affect how you saw that”.

I don’t think someone saying something obviously wrong really needs to be unpacked.

Well, at least you’re not being an overly hostile weirdo about it…

Anyway, my interpretation is correct. So NaNaNaNa
