"Epic burn" -- really? Wow, what the heck does the sign say? Unless the headline is exaggerating, it must say something amazing!
Um, here it is:
This isn't an "epic burn." It doesn't even make sense. It just takes one momentary right-wing obsession and turns it into a metaphor for another momentary right-wing obsession, in a way that's utterly illogical. This sign exists solely to give other right-wingers the thrill of having two hate-erogenous zones massaged simultaneously. That's the principal thing right-wingers want, all the time -- to have their anger stoked and their sense of moral superiority affirmed.
The pleasure this sign brings is the pleasure of Trump trash talk. It doesn't have to be coherent. It doesn't have to offer solutions. It just has to affirm the goodness of us and the across-the-board evil of the liberal them.

ZOINKS!
Talk about stupid!
Two can play at this game:
"Republicans, pretend it's Iraq and bomb the shit out of the Iran deal!"
Oh, wait.
Bombing the shit out of Iraq wasn't exactly as successful as you thought.
We'll be paying for YOUR stupidity for generations.
Republicans:
Pretend it's George Zimmerman and cheer on this Iran deal.
(We'll even let you play with some shiny shell casings)
My honest to goodness reaction was that I was impressed that the person got the punctuation correct.
Republicans- pretend it is your sister and fuck it!
