    Somebody please inform me on what I am missing to understand this. Who is the guy on the left?

      Private Paula Pyle from Full Metal Jacket

      He blew his head out because he got bullied by his sergeant and got assaulted by the whole platoon.

      I still don’t get the meme though.

        It’s Private Pyle, as in Gomer Pyle, a bumbling mechanic and later a marine, from the Andy Griffith Show, originally.

        I really appreciate it, but this definitely doesn’t help me understand the meme. Apparently I’m missing more than just the character

          Well, I forgot that he shot his sergeant first before he shot himself. It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie.

          So the meme creator is claiming a similarity in looks between Paula and Vance and wants him to shoot trump and himself?

          Not funny imo, just another bad meme with the core topic of inciting violence and supporting murder.

            Maybe a bit uncouth but I’d love see the conspiracies that would spawn from something that crazy

              Vance was a never Trumper wasn’t he? I’d be down for a public murder-suicide for an October Surprise.

          He shoots the sergeant then himself. So if life decides to imitate art in this case, it would be something…
