Dichloroethene Memes

The meme shows cis and trans isomers in organic chemistry, but with political commentary. It's a clever wordplay on chemical terminology that's been hijacked by culture wars! In chemistry, "cis" means atoms are on the same side of a double bond, while "trans" means they're on opposite sides. These are just spatial arrangements of molecules that chemists have used since the 1800s. Now the poor dichloroethene molecule can't even exist in peace without someone making it political! Chemistry nerds are silently screaming at their structural formulas being dragged into internet debates.
