Isn't the point of this meme that the elder is always telling the truth, but it's so alien to the youth that they don't believe it? Like, "back in my day, to call someone on the telephone you had to spin a dial, wait for it to return, and do this for each digit of a 5-digit number".
This is a misuse of the template, that seems to imply Trump is right.
Edit: After ~~conducting some research~~ quickly glancing at the Know Your Meme entry of this, it seems that the template has mixed usage. Including "a no longer popular opinion stated by the elder", and just straight up dismissing rambling of an elder. But vast majority of the examples still lean into my original setup.
Or "you know dog shit used to be white. You would see little piles of white dog shit when walking. Sometime during the 90s or 00s it stopped. Now when I see dog shit it's just normal shit colored. The weird part is no one talks about it. Am I taking crazy pills?"
It still turns white, if you leave it sitting for about a month. People are picking it up now.
Make America Great Again. Leave the dog shit.
