lol. Yeah. It’s not terribly subtle about it being 2 different trucks. That said- it may actually help the meme depending on how you look at it. So if you view the meme as satirical- as if it was made by someone making fun of the sort of person who might do a burnout on a rainbow flag and would then seek to try and make a joke at the expense of the LGBTQ+ community, and this satirical person is so inept and foolish or careless that like a toddler trying to replace your keys with some grapes so you won’t notice, they used a picture of a totally and obviously different vehicle; it can enhance the satire and form a sort of meta commentary on the use of disinformation and how ham fisted and inept it so often is when used by fundamentalists and extremists especially.

The modern sensationalist news and social media influence often employed by political extremes and fundamentalists is a bit like those “Nigerian Prince” scam emails. Those emails are so often terribly written and obviously scams, but it is with intent because the next phase usually requires a person to do things like mail gift cards or wire money, so by using such obvious scams the scammers only have credibility with people whom are most gullible, ignorant, or naive and less likely to push back as the process proceeds. Likewise, these news and social media influences aimed at reactionists and fundamentalists and extremists tend to be similar ridiculous in credibility to a person of reasonable thought, by design, to “hook” those most likely to buy in to increasingly exploitive or ridiculous ideas. So it makes good satire.

The only thing I care about is how the tire on the right actually got those bubbles. Like what is actually happening there? Bad manufacturing? Legitimate but extremely odd wear? Induced? Like how does that happen? What would need to actually do to achieve that result? Just asking for a friend.

You’re pretty right on. The second most common cause of bubbled sidewalls is manufacturing defects. The majority of side wall bubbles are caused by impact damage- hits against the curb, deep pot holes, road debris, etc.
