Warning: If you're sick and tired of reading or hearing about the Democratic primaries, this post ain't for you. Since Bernie Sanders destroyed the Nevada caucus, the media seems to be freaking out. People from both parties are freaking out. And while we're starting to feel a bit politically fatigued, we've still got the memes to bring some entertaining edge to this political nightmare. This mix of memes, while mostly devoted to Sanders (the Democratic front runner) should be able to satisfy any democrat with a taste for memes.

Just when we thought that election takes couldn't get any more cringey, Twitter user @rapscallison has raised the bar. Yesterday she nearly broke our timeline when she started a thread designating the remaining democratic candidates as Broadway musicals. While the cringe is kinda real, this will probably appeal to those of you who both follow politics and love musicals. And in our heart of hearts, we have to admit that OP's choices are pretty scary accurate.
When Twitter user @ogrods shared a photo of a beaming Trump supporter with a Keanu Reeves look-alike we doubt they had any idea of the comedy goldmine they had unearthed. The subject, Bill Montary, shared his photos with "Keanu" to a pro-Trump Facebook group, claiming the actor was a Trump supporter and a restorer of antique bikes. To most everyone, it's obvious that dear old Bill was posing with one of the actor's more questionable doppelgangers. As one might expect, Twitter users jumped on the opportunity to make memes and jokes at the expense of both Keanu and Bill Montary. And they're entertaining AF. We've included some of our favorite Twitter replies, but there are over a thousand comments to sift through over at the thread. Happy scrolling!
While we would love for election season to be over right about now, we've gotta admit that the resulting political memes have been top-notch. The internet has been loving this particular dank meme, which shows Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi ripping up Donald Trump's State of the Union speech.
President Donald Trump was photographed on Friday returning to the White House from a trip to North Carolina and let's just say...he's looking a bit like a mandarin orange. People have been meme-ing and roasting the photo, which shows a very defined tan line of the orange variety on his face. Trump of course called the photo "fake news," and while we have to partially agree that the original was likely altered a bit, it's still amusing to see the reactions nonetheless!

President Donald Trump conducted a fake orchestra during the Super Bowl last Sunday and it was...really something.
The possibility of a World War III is still inspiring a cornucopia of memes, the latest being about Switzerland's historical non-involvement in world wars. Memers are joking about packing their bags and moving there, which we can't really blame them for.
Last night U.S. President Donald Trump ordered a drone strike in Iraq that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani. The decision, which surprised the country, has received quite a bit of hate. More importantly to us, it's inspired quite a few frightened memes. People on Twitter seem to be meme-ing their concern regarding whether or not they'll be drafted in the hypothetical WWIII Trump started. While the jokes are providing endlessly dark and honest entertainment, the scary truth is that there's always a bit of truth in a joke. Here's hoping we all make it out unscathed.
Twitter's a veritable sea of marvelously bad takes, and many of these quickly posted sentiments end up aging like milk. Many of these takes are political, but beyond the predictable Trump impeachment tweets, there are scads of published magazines and even childish doodles whose creators must be kicking themselves bloody over. From a weird crush on Bill Cosby, to naming Adolf Hitler Time person of the year, these gaffes will not be forgotten any time soon. But we'll keep cringing and having chuckles over 'em.
There are many, many, many reasons we try to stay out of political reporting and memery. More often than not, if you make a meme about the election, or the president, it's going to come off as incredibly cringey. But it's even worse when you see the meme handiwork of boomers getting super political. There's a smugness and ignorance to these memes that makes them nearly unbearable. But we like pain. And know you do, too.
President Trump is getting the royal Twitter roasting treatment after displaying a shocking lack of geographical knowledge last night. The President was speaking to the Shale Insight Conference in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania when he started speaking about his confidence regarding winning New Mexico.
"You know why we're going to win New Mexico? Because they want safety on their border. And they didn't have it. And we're building a wall on the border of New Mexico and we're building a wall in Colorado. We're building a beautiful wall, a big one that really works -- you can't get over, you can't get under. And we're building a wall in Texas. And we're not building a wall in Kansas, but they get the benefit of the walls that we just mentioned. And Louisiana's incredible."
This comment went viral after The Hill shared a clip on Twitter - prompting many people to respond to the fact that it would appear that Donal Trump was under the impression that Colorado bordered Mexico. Unsurprisingly, Twitter has not been kind to POTUS regarding this flub, but man, we're learning that people really love to edit maps.
Trump has since claimed that he made the Colorado comment "kiddingly," but we're still trying to figure out where the joke is. In the meantime, we put together the best responses to the #ColoradoBorderWall to keep you entertained.
During a meeting to discuss Syria, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was photographed assertively pointing a finger at Donald Trump. Trump later tweeted the photo with the caption, "Nervous Nancy's unhinged meltdown!" the photo has inspired a whole host of memes from every political angle.
Whether you're a Trump supporter or a Pelosi fan, we think you'll find these trending memes amusing. Or maybe you hate both of them equally! That's certainly an option too!
