You're probably kind of sick of hearing about the 2020 Iowa Democratic Caucus disaster, but we're happy to report that some good did come out of the debacle. While it took forever to determine that Bernie Sanders was the winner, his overdue victory speech spawned a ton of Vince McMahon-style multi-panel reaction images. Some of them are predictably political in nature, but many veer to the relatable & gaming meme sectors. They're a refreshing take on the Galaxy Brain format, and while they may not last as long as it took to get the results of the caucus, we're enjoying them while we can.

Last night the 2020 Iowa Democratic Caucus stirred up quite the controversy when it was announced that the results would be delayed due to "inconsistencies" in a new app meant to speed up the reporting results of the caucus. Ironic, to say the least.
But hang tight, because they're set to be released at 5 pm Eastern Time.
Ahead of the results being released, Pete Buttigieg gave what appeared to be a victory speech last night to the confusion of many. The bizarre move has lead many to believe that the system may have been rigged in Mayor Pete's favor.
As always, we have to give the disclaimer that we're not picking sides; we're merely reporting on what the internet has been saying, so scroll down to see some of our favorite reaction memes and tweets while we all wait impatiently for the results.

The Iowa caucus has been an absolute mess last night - and we're still waiting for results. Following the discovery of "inconsistencies" with reporting, the Iowa Democratic Party delayed the numbers we've been anxiously awaiting. According to the IDP, their counting app is at the root of these inconsistencies. In 2020, this is a huge disgrace - and has caused a lot of confusion all over the country. But nobody was as confused as this Mayor Pete supporter, who found out that her candidate is a married homosexual right after submitting her vote. A poll-worker tries to reason with the shocked woman, who keeps asking for her vote back. Awkward.

Turns out the Iowa Caucus really was a pretty good referendum on Republican priorities!

Norway's third-largest newspaper Dagbladet covered Santorum's ascension at the Iowa Causus with a headline reading, "Gay Hate Surging Forward." Norway is historically one of the most gay-friendly countries in the world, and was the first to enact laws protecting LGBT people from discrimination.
Oh, and they're also good at calling it like they see it.
