Well, yes, that’s exactly what I’m getting at. The image presents a list of statements as ‘THE FACTS,’ yet none of them are backed by evidence or citations. They’re framed as literal confessions of criminal activity that have never been legally established.
For example:
• It claims he ‘staged a coup’ and ‘incited sedition’ — those are legal terms implying conviction, which hasn’t happened.
• It says ‘I knew I lost, I lied anyway,’ but that’s speculation about his internal thoughts, not a verified fact.
• It concludes with ‘We belong in prison,’ which again asserts guilt without due process.
That’s why I questioned it under the ‘no misinformation’ rule. Even if it’s meant as humor, it’s still presented as a factual list and I’m unsure if there’s similar treatment allowed for jokes about the opposite side as there seems to be none.
I’m not asking for it to be removed, just trying to understand where the boundary is between political humor and posts that make factual claims without evidence.

Only the evidence of our eyes and ears.
