It's about that time. This crazy roller coaster of a presidential election is finally coming to a close. It was an entertaining, excruciating bloodbath full of off-the-wall statements, leaving Americans anticipating the end of the world. No matter what the outcome will be, citizens all over the country will be infuriated beyond measure, spewing hate throughout the airwaves, bringing shame upon all those who voted opposite of them. The world will be divided, and riots will break out across the nation.
But we're not here to talk about that. We're here to talk about the important stuff: Memes. This election cycle gave us many of them. Let's take a look at the goofs and gaffs that gave us a glimmer of hope among this soul-draining election.
Bernie vs Hillary
This meme came in all shapes and sizes, comparing where Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton stood on important issues. And by "important," I mean, important to the internet. But in the end, that's all that matters, right?
Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer
I...don't really know where this one came from. I didn't even know what the "Zodiac Killer" was until these memes started popping up on my news feed. But hey, they makes me chuckle, and the internet sure ate them up.
Ted Cruz's Face
For some reason, the internet loved poking fun at Ted Cruz's face. And I can kind of see why. His face can't seem to decide which emotion to show. So it shows all of them.
Trump and Hillary Sing a Duet Together
During the second presidential debate of the year, the two candidates walked freely, microphones in hand, rather than standing behind a podium. Naturally, they argued quite a bit. This made for some awesome pictures, one of which depicted Trump and Hillary singing a duet together. The thought alone is enough to make you snicker, but the picture just makes it better.
Ken Bone
The internet is strange. During the same debate that birthed the duet meme, everyone turned to an undecided voter named Ken Bone. He asked the final question of the debate, and became a living meme almost immediately. What makes him so popular? Is it is calm persona? His comfy sweater? His awesome mustache? The answer is yes.
Donald Trump
It's impossible to find just one meme of the man whom the internet hates to love and loves to hate. Here are a few golden ones, for your enjoyment.
If it weren't for the internet, this election would have been a lot harder to stomach. A bit of a laugh can fix anything.
