Looks like a distant shot of dune in the first panel and Paul Atreides in the second. Didn't know your sisters were Harkonnen supporters.

[Eddie Teach]

That's John Kerry.

[The Brain]

That's Jay Leno.

[Eddie Teach]

I don't think so.

That is in the Burns documentary on the Vietnam war - so there is some hope someone involved in the making of that meme watched at least some of it and maybe learned something....

Ok, way too optimistic.

[The Minsky Moment]

The meme doesn't make a lot of sense.

I mean - I know that John Kerry was a war hero in Vietnam and that he testified about his experiences to Congress.

And I know that Donald Trump was a traitor who used fraud to get out of service and then mocked those who served.

But that panel implies that John Kerry accused Trump of being a traitor back in 1971 and I'm pretty sure that didn't happen back then.  We could always check the transcript to make sure.

I am aware your post is satirical.

As I understand it the serious argument against Kerry wasn't the Swift Boat stuff, but his very vocal anti-war activism after his return.  Apparently there were attempts to court-martial him (he was still a reserve officer at the time) because of his actions then.

I don't get how everybody who did not support every overseas intervention is some kind of traitor. Hell Syt has posted memes from his family before attacking the government's wars.

It was not like losing in Vietnam was some kind of existential crisis for the United States.

It depends.  If they like the war than only traitors oppose it. If they've moved on to other outrage porn then wars are wasteful liberal plots.

He was appearing before a hearing of Congress in that picture.  One would need to have a pretty warped view of the world to take the position that telling ones own government, in a hearing held by that government, about events the government asked you to talk about, is treason.

The government was run by liberal democrats who love treason. They hate America. They hate Freeodm. They hate God, and they hate the truth, which they can't handle.

Such is the world when people think that winning is everything in politics.

This I do not know.
