That's not even what dark humor is. Even the Wikipedia page for dark humor has a good example of it.

Using that meme's definition, this image isn't dark humor unless its creator has jumped off of a building before.

However, knowing these people, they probably think "haha I want to die" is "dark humor" instead of just braindead "relatable humor" that isn't funny.

It's the same sort of made up redefinition as when they say, "It's only censorship if the government does it."

Why do they always represent the "le evil" opposing side as a strong, manly man, yet present themselves as skinny or average? I keep seeing this in alot of leftie comics. Wouldn't you rather represent yourself stronger than the opposition?

There's only 2 types of humor they think is funny

a) Woke humor - you know the usual jokes about muh 78 cents muh LOOK AT ME I'M SUCCESSFUL AND I AIN'T A WHITE MAN muh ypipo think mayo is spicy

b) Self-deprecating humor which comes across more as self-hating humor or cry-for-help humor because it sounds like they're talking to their psychotherapist rather than working a set for an audience of people. See the line in the meme of "it's when you make fun of your own trauma". They don't get humor if it doesn't have anything to do with them exposing their fucked up lives and what's more they think it's relatable when they expose themselves as a complete dysfunctional mess of a human being.
Relatability is one part of humor, but it doesn't have to be personal, it can be cultural, it's why a particular dark joke can come across as one in a culture that sees the thing being joked about as taboo and in another it won't come across that way as dark humor is just a joke about a particular taboo subject.
Or for example, when you have ethnic group humor if I told a joke about Montenegrins being lazy to someone from the other part of the world who has no idea what we're like or even has heard of those ethnic groups before, they'll relate it to something closer to themselves. Example "Oh so those Montenegrins sound like they're a bunch of Monteniggers to me".

He did withdraw quite a few troops though, and the courts kept reverting all the stronger immigration policies he tried to set up, if that's a good thing or not is up to you, of course.

Anyone who though Trump was socially conservative was an idiot, did they do any research?

They won't let things like facts get in the way of a good meme

Nope. Their moral justification for every shady thing they do is that they're weak and victimized, regardless of how far from the truth it is. This comic is a perfect example. If the Neo-Nazi man was a 90 lb weakling and the Antifa douche was the more muscular of the two (which for a political contest metaphor would actually be more accurate, since the mainstream left coddles and supports Antifa and their agenda far more than the mainstream right coddles and supports Neo-Nazis) the whole message that "I have to kneecap people with a baseball bat while their guard is down because I'll lose in a fair contest and be literally genocided" falls apart.

Something something cries in pain as he stabs you.
