masks

If you've been at all conscious for literally any part of 2020, you're probably aware that everything has pretty much gone to shit. Between the pandemic, politics, and the general lack of humanity, things have been pretty damn bleak. But in case you need a little more evidence, these cringey and arguably disheartening pictures will definitely help solidify the sad state of the world. Hopefully 2021 will be better.

Ah, Sunday. The day of rest. While some people spend it at church or by indulging in quality family time, we're more into burrowing into a cocoon and conserving energy for the horrors of Monday. Fortunately, scrolling through memes and binge watching television shows don't take much of our life force. And we've got a bunch of the former right here for your easy enjoyment. 

2020's pretty much been a wash in most respects. People dying. Can't hang out with friends or see family. Can't go to the gym. Political turmoil. Unemployment. Evictions. The terrible list goes on. The year, however, has excelled in one area: inspiring some seriously savage burns and comebacks. All the political back and forth and mask debates really seem to stir up trouble. And we're totally here for it.

As younger people abandon Facebook for Instagram and TikTok, it seems like we're more aware of all the crazies that frequent the social networking site. Some of the best places to find unhinged and ignorant people are mommy/parenting groups. There's an overwhelming number of Covid-19 nonbelievers, people who do extremely weird sh*t with breast milk, and of course - lots of talk of essential oils. If the children are our future, and they're being raised by these people, we might be more screwed than we thought. 

It's said that times like these bring out the best in people. And that might be true for a percentage of the population. But we're willing to bet that the sad souls below won't be contributing anything but cringe to society during this difficult time. Some of them (ahem, daft mask protesters) could even kill  their fellow humans. We'll never not be disturbed by this kind of trashiness, but these insane people remind us to live compassionately and with intelligence.

While the rest of the world gets back to normal life, many of us Americans are still in near-full lockdown because of many people's refusal to wear masks. We don't really know what else to say, other than: wear the damn mask, people, because we're all sick of this BS.

It seems that in moments of global crisis - and especially during mass lockdown - the crazies and logic-deprived come out in full force. The subreddit r/facepalm is an incredible archive of these types of people and their woefully stupid posts on social media. This particularly gallery (sourced from r/facepalm) displays the utter genius of Karens, anti-mask folks, and our President, Donald Trump. Happy scrolling, try not to let your eyes roll out of their sockets.

We've officially reached the Golden Age of Karens. And with lockdowns and restrictions "impinging" on their entitled idea of "rights," there seems to be a greater number of these histrionic white women coming out of the woodwork. Twitter user @shrimpbinch managed to find a prime example of this kind of woman having a complete meltdown on Facebook Live. It seems this Karen simply cannot handle having to wear a mask. She dramatically lists the "symptoms" she experienced while wearing the protective face wear. The symptoms all sound like someone who is experiencing anxiety. But in her mind, it's clear that she believes the masks are harming her health and violating her rights as an American. The fun doesn't stop there. @shrimpbinch did some digging and discovered that this "victim" is deep in the insidious MLM scene and has been shilling essential oils that many anti-vaxxers think will cure any illness. The whole thing is mind-boggling, and you can watch the video and hate-read her essential oil promotions below. 

As cases of COVID-19 ramp up across the globe, so has the world's shortage of preventative healthcare tools - such as face masks. Time to panic, right? Wrong. Before freaking out, it's important to research who really should be using masks, and more importantly, how to use them. We'll get through this Coronavirus pandemic together. 

One does not simply become president, without generating some Trump memes.

15 Trump memes mixed in with about a dozen or so Trump GIFs -so as to cushion the impact some of these may have on our more sensitive readers. Whether you love him or hate him, you've gotta admit that Donald Trump is incredibly meme material.

"We'll build a Trump meme, and make the Memeians pay for it"

Need more Trump memes? There's an abundance of Trump memes available at your disposal, such as Trump's Space Force memes or Hilarious Trump Space force memes which was related to announcing that America will be militarizing space, or the awkward memes of Trump staring at a solar eclipse or  Memes of Awkward Obama/Trump Interactions. Or wax nostalgic with photoshop memes of Trump's Executive Orders which were changed to look like a variety of hilarious scenarios that Trump has just signed. And for a simpler, more sophisticated laugh, try the Trump and Kim memes that really have a nice subtle nuance to their humor.

Donald Trump seems to be a magnet for being the subject of memes, and it really is not slowing down. Not much anyone can do to stop it so might as well sit back and laugh, regardless of where you stand politically
