It’s in a similar vein to this quote from Assata Shakur
I have never really understood exactly what a ‘liberal’ is, since I have heard ‘liberals’ express every conceivable opinion on every conceivable subject. As far as I can tell, you have the extreme right, who are fascist racist capitalist dogs like Ronald Reagan, who come right out and let you know where they’re coming from. And on the opposite end, you have the left, who are supposed to be committed to justice, equality, and human rights. And somewhere between those two points is the liberal.
As far as I’m concerned, ‘liberal’ is the most meaningless word in the dictionary. History has shown me that as long as some white middle-class people can live high on the hog, take vacations to Europe, send their children to private schools, and reap the benefits of their white skin privilege, then they are ‘liberal’. But when times get hard and money gets tight, they pull off that liberal mask and you think you’re talking to Adolf Hitler. They feel sorry for the so-called underprivileged just as long as they can maintain their own privileges.
I don’t understand what the meme means.
Also, does this have alt text? If so, how do I view it?

Liberals, when “scratched,” reveal their fascist side. Liberalism and fascism are two sides of the same coin.
Ah. It being shown post-scratch makes more sense. Should have had some of the scratch material still on to reinforce that. Thanks.
Yea I agree!
yea I probably would have done that if I was competent at editing haha
What exactly is in the picture though? Is the scratch-off lottery ticket a liberal fascist who has been scratched off? Is that the metaphor?
Basically, yea. You scratch a liberal, and the fascist underneath reveals itself like a lotto ticket.
