Identification notes
What is known
Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone: a deliberately garish partisan meme captioned "LIBER*LS ON USA 4TH JULY ARE LIKE:" A stock-photo man in thick glasses salutes above ""I pledge allegience to THE" and green bubble text "GLUTEN-FREE YOGURT?!?!?!" framed by laughing emoji. Below, a black-and-white photo of a mustached man in a cowboy hat sits beside "YES THERE ACTUALLY THAT STUPID FOLKS!!!" and "OBuMA seeing this MEME" pointing to a crying cartoon baby. It reads as parody of the genre; misspellings and claims are reproduced as found. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. The exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
