Memes of the 2016 Election

Written by Jason Carter 

The past ten months have seen probably the most controversial presidential campaign in the US history. The candidates: Donald Trump for the Republican party and Hillary Clinton for the Democrats.

Soon the World will know who has won the presidency and taken residence at the white house. Along the way, many memes have been created, causing widespread amusement.

This is the meme that came about when the two leading candidates were revealed. American voters have a hard decision to make on the day of the election as neither of the two candidates are seen as the ideal president. The meme shows how the public are uncertain about who to vote for and would rather have neither of them in the White House.

The meme below clearly shows how the public are uncertain about who to vote for and would rather have neither of them in the White House.

Even the creators of the beloved cartoon family ‘The Simpsons’ predicted one day that the American people would allow Donald Trump to become president. Hopefully this meme will deter people from voting for him in the election and prevent him from setting foot in the White House.

Most of the voters are unsure about who they want to see in power, leading to a common theme being produced throughout the memes regarding the election this year.

 

It does not bode well that much of America find the two potential presidents a laughing-stock. Each meme, however small, could produce a detrimental effect on their individual campaign.

This one featuring Tom Cruise shines light on the fact that Hillary might not be much better than Trump after all.

A lot of people have said that they will be choosing the lesser of two evils in this election. During the debate between Clinton and Trump on September 26^th, a lot of talk occurred online and many memes circulated between the watchers of this historical debate.

The future of the United States lies in the hands of its people, but with them both seemingly being as bad as each other, the American people have the toughest decision to make in history.
