The Best Memes From The 2016 Election

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.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
