political memes

It's been four days since Seattle activists established the 'Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone' in a six block region of the city. The area, also being called "CHAZ," has declared itself separate from the United State government. CHAZ was created after police fled the George Floyd protests, and protesters were quick to create large barricades, restrooms, food and water distribution, and even disabled security cameras. There's also a smoking section intended to protect non-smokers from second-hand smoke.

While the city of Seattle has not officially recognized the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, the area has received a lot of attention from the media and from memers. Many of the memes are mocking in nature - especially regarding current attempts at farming in the area. We'll avoid taking sides, and instead will present you with content from people who pro-CHAZ and others who are very clearly against the movement. 

Are you a total freak who actually enjoys the incessant political commentary stemming from the coronavirus disaster? Well, you're in luck!

In these trying and crazy times, Kentuckians are looking to Governor Andy Beshear for answers. His daily 5pm livestream updates have become popular for their wholesome messages and his amusing call-outs to stubborn bingo halls that just won't close for coronavirus quarantining. He's even earned himself a Facebook meme page, entitled "Andy Beshear Memes for Social Distancing Teens."

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.

We've been seeing these Bernie Sanders memes practically everywhere on the internet lately, and they don't appear to be stopping any time soon! Here's our last gallery in case you missed 'em. 

We sincerely hope you're not sick of political memes yet, because we've still got far to go before the 2020 presidential elections, so buckle up!

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.

Some people think the left can't meme, others feel the right can't meme. Politics aside, most of us can agree that boomers are absolutely helpless in the meme department. The Cropped Boomer Images Twitter account takes those cringe-filled memes and crops them into bizarre, surreal memes that are as funny as they are absurd. Here are some of our favorite of their crazy offerings, but you should definitely follow them to keep up with the madness. 

Donald Trump, Justin Trudeau, and Melania Trump got caught in an unfortunate candid photo at the G7 Summit in Biarritz, France. The photo, taken by a Reuters photographer, depicts a seemingly smitten Melania about to kiss Mr. Trudeau on the lips while The Donald looks disapprovingly at the ground. 

Sounds like a familiar meme that we all know and love, doesn't it? And we're super cool with it because we sure do love any revitalization of the Distracted Boyfriend meme!

Sure, we're probably not getting the entire story behind this photo, but the resulting memes are still funny AF regardless!

CNN news anchor Chris Cuomo is being criticized after a video surfaced of him threatening someone with violence for calling him "Fredo." 

"Fredo" is an insult for an Italian person meaning "weak brother," and refers to the character Fredo Corleone from The Godfather.

The criticism came after the video was published, when Cuomo asserted that the word "Fredo" is comparable to the N-word for Italian-Americans. Many Italian-Americans themselves were left highly confused by the assertion, and people on both sides of the political spectrum, including Donald Trump, had no shortage of criticism for him.

As we're all aware, using an insult based on one's ethnicity is never okay, but we think Cuomo may have gone a little too far in comparing the word "Fredo" to the N-word. 

Scroll down to see some of the internet's various spicy memes and reactions to the incident!

Presidential candidate, author and "spiritual guru" Marianne Williamson has been receiving a lot of attention since her first democratic debate. Her hippie-ish sensibilities and belief in harnessing the power of love have done more than make her one of the most memeable candidates. fter According to Google Trends, Williamson secured the rank of top searched candidate during last night's second Democratic debate. It would seem the crystal-lover really is making some waves - while her fans are making a sh*t ton of memes. We're not sure we buy this "orb" stuff, but damn, the memes are funny as hell. 

This photoshopped pic of former president Obama awarding himself a medal was inspired by an awards ceremony in 2016 where 21 individuals were awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Obama himself. Later on a satirical news site published a photoshopped pic from the event entitled "Obama Awards Himself Greatest President Ever Medal During Farewell." We're all for the political memes!

Everyone's favorite child molester, Roy Moore, has just announced a 2020 run for Senate in Alabama. The former judge is looking to redeem himself after a loss to Doug Jones (D), but as these Roy Moore memes show, he should probably be more worried about clearing up his reputation as a pedophile. For more memes that drag the Alabama politician, check out some moreRoy Moore memes that will give you the creeps.

The news has been rife with mentions of abortion bans all over the United States, especially in Alabama. We've been seeing a lot of tweets speaking both against and for the bills - but we're most interested in the way popular memers have been responding to the political issue. Here are some of the loudest, both visually and politically, that we've seen yet.

If you're feeling like the wind has left your sails and existence is a chore, these are the memes for you. These pics are so dumb and so silly that you won't be able to help feeling just a wee bit better than you did before.
