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.
political memes
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.

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.

Everyone's favorite child molester, Roy Moore, has just announced a 2020 run for Senate in Alabama.

Attention: get your government shutdown memes while they're hot! Donald Trump announced this morning his plans to lift the longest government shutdown in American history for three weeks.

In response to Donald Trump's remarks about the need to build a wall along the US-Mexico border, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer responded to the matter in a statement on Capitol Hill. People on the internet started noticing how...parental the two looked on television, which of course has sparked some hilarious memes.
