Memes sum up US polls verdict memorably

As analysts and commentators raced to put forth their conclusions on the Trump victory in the US elections, meme-makers beat them to it with some pithy lines that summed up the battle royale.

Meme fest began flooding the internet as the US started voting.

The one that went viral over WhatsApp groups was, “America is in labour now.

In 24 hours, we will know if it is a boy or girl.

” Even before the victory could officially be declared, Tesla CEO Elon Musk grabbed centre stage on the meme platform — as one user said, Elon Musk has changed the like button for the US Elections.

He himself entered the meme fray by posting a smiling picture of himself at the White House, saying, “Let that sink in.

” As soon as it became clear that the Reds were going to sweep, Twitter user @bateshotelpro put out a meme showing Trump and Elon Musk doing a victory dance to the BeeGee’s classic number Staying Alive.

Of course, an Indian user @VertigoWarrior was quick to counter that with a celebratory Trump and Modi dance to the Natu Natu hit number and the caption “The Modiji-Trump era is back” Another one showed Trump and Elon Musk wearing saffron clothes with marigolds surrounding their vehicle.

Twitter user Vishal bowled over cricket-mad India when he posted a picture of Rohit Sharma dressed like Kamala Harris and wrote: “Kamala Harris: 4 saal mein ek baar haarna to allowed hai yaar” People used irony to telling effect – Verified user Sagar @sagarcasm posted “Things don’t exist – Unicorns, Fairies, Dragons and a female US president” Meme-makers even managed to sum up global geopolitical relationships in a single picture using emojis to describe the emotions of Putin, Zelensky, Xi Jinping, Modi, Yunus et al.

Finally, as a Twitter user commented, “The only good thing coming out of the US elections are the memes.

” One thing is for sure - with Trump back in the White House, memes are going to flourish.
