Political Meme Generator
Download the generator as a single self-contained Markdown file.
Paste the entire file at the top of a new chat with any commercial AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini).
Below it, paste the claim, talking point, excerpt, or short source text you want turned into a meme — along with the evidence or source link that documents it.
Optionally name the propaganda technique you see at work, or let the generator identify one for you.
Optionally name the audience or platform you’re posting to — it sharpens the composition and the caption.
Output is a complete meme recipe: headline, claim, reality, technique, fit tag, composition, caption, in-image labels, child-witness line, safety check, and a ready-to-paste render prompt for an image model.
What It Is
Takes a documented claim-reality gap — a politician’s statement set against the record, a talking point set against the receipts — and produces a complete, safe meme recipe in Main Street Independent’s black-ink editorial-cartoon style. It works from one principle: a useful political meme exposes a documented contradiction; it does not humiliate an out-group. Rather than reaching for a famous template, it selects a clean visual grammar by fit — word-versus-deed, emperor’s-new-clothes, empty-receipt, beneficiary-reveal, and a dozen others — and refuses contaminated meme structures (Pepe, Wojak hierarchies, race- or disability-coded ridicule, dehumanization metaphors) outright. The result is a single-panel composition with legible labels and an optional child-witness line, plus a render prompt you can hand straight to an image model. It is built for documented contradictions; if the source doesn’t establish the gap, the generator asks for evidence or declines.
How to Use It
This is a complete, self-contained tool — everything it needs is in this one file. Paste the whole file into any AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini), then below it paste the claim, quote, or short source text you want turned into a meme, along with the evidence that documents the contradiction — a link, an excerpt, a source line. The generator will not invent the gap for you: this produces meme recipes, not fact-checks, so if the source doesn’t establish a real claim-reality gap, it will ask for evidence or decline. You can also tell it the technique you see at work and the platform you’re posting to, and it will tune the composition and caption accordingly. The output is one meme recipe — headline, claim, reality, technique, fit tag, composition, caption, in-image labels, child-witness line, safety check, and a render prompt — ready to drop into an image model. For analyzing a full editorial, use the Propaganda Analyzer; for a graduated set of written comebacks, use the Responding to Propaganda Spinner.
Proof of Concept
The panel above began as a single prompt: JD Vance’s claim that Watergate would be “a 12-hour news story today,” set against the documented record of the presidency he was defending. The generator chose a descending-staircase grammar — Nixon resigning at the top, the record stacked at the bottom — placed a child witness to ask the plain question, and returned the render prompt that produced the image.
