And once again, the left's response is to show us they can meme ... by writing a novel.

I think it's because good memes rely on the reader's life experience. The actual meme isn't doing anything more than pointing out something the reader already knows, that's why they can be so short.

Leftie memes, with their focus on re-writing reality, have a lot more work to do, they have to construct the reality they're trying to place the meme in, so, novel.
