There’s a new star of the 2016 presidential election, and she only stands 6 inches tall.

Instagram users @hellohunter and @lil_brunch  are the geniuses behind the Instagram account lil.hillary, a parody feed that features a Hillary Clinton action figure on the campaign trail.

“[We] noticed Hillary doesn’t have an Instagram account for her campaign and decided it was our duty to help her out,” hellohunterr wrote on Instagram.

Just like the actual candidate, Lil’ Hillary is determined to be elected President of the United States. But she keeps getting caught in ~crazy~ situations.

Like taking public transportation…

Stopping at her favorite Chipotle…

Dealing with the pesky press…

Taunting the Republican competition…

And unwinding after a long day with an adult beverage.

The good news is, there are enough tiny Hillarys to go around! You can own your very own miniature Clinton for $14.99.

But after taking a scroll through this Instagram feed, one thing is for certain: there can only be one Lil’ Hillary.

Stryper is a Christian metal hair band that found some mainstream success in the 80s. And Ted Cruz looks exactly like the led singer, Michael Sweet. 

Could he secretly be the frontman of this band, probably, but no one knows for sure. Michael Sweet has acknowledged the resemblance (kind of):

But it seems like he isn't that happy about the comparison and his fans DEFINITELY aren't.  The Daily Dot posted this rant by a fan that was posted in the Facebook group Stryper Strong and has now been deleted:

Ok, we've all now seen at least a dozen times the Ted Cruz looks like Michael in one photo from 1983. I've been tagged, had it forwarded to me and have deleted countless postings on the Stryper page that I am webmaster for. First, stop it! Second, it's making fun of the band and my best friends. Third, it's making fun of anyone who dares be a fan (in other words....YOU). I don't like ANY of that! I discussed this with Michael the day he posted it and the only reason he posted was because of the free press that comes from it. He didn't like the post either and removed the original persons name from it. It has now grown to the point of being ridiculous. So, can I ask everyone to not post it anymore and to move on? Can we all agree on that? Can I get a like or comment of agreement on this? Sorry, it isn't funny anymore. (Never was).

Whether he's ready to "move on" or not, Sweet is certainly embracing the extra publicity:

Or should we say, Ted Cruz is embracing the publicity?

It's all fun and games until somebody calls your mother a bigot.

How much "Ameritude" do you have?
