Origin notes
Per the provided source information, this meme was originally posted on Reddit's meme communities with the original title "But cmon… who really believes them anyway". The base visual is a widely circulated reaction meme taken directly from a scene in Turning Red, with custom satirical text added to apply the smug driving character trope to criticism of political figures that spread misinformation.
![This is a meta reaction meme composed of two text sections and a screenshot from a TV show. The top text reads 'POV: you see someone post a meme that uses "POV" incorrectly', setting up the first-person perspective as promised by the correct use of the POV label. The lower portion shows Dennis Reynolds from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia driving a car with a smug, amused expression, paired with the subtitle '[Laughter] You dumb bitch'. The joke centers on mocking people who frequently misuse the POV meme format by labeling content that does not show the viewer's first-person perspective as POV, with the meme itself correctly employing the POV format to show the viewer's mocking reaction to that common mistake.](https://gagbase.com/i/c/memes/b8/0c/c7/5c/b80cc75c296cd6bb63057837cd841cfc.jpeg.webp)
