As Election Day 2024 polls draw to an end in America, former President and Republican Donald Trump claims victory over Vice President and Democrat Kamala Harris.
This makes him the second president to serve non-consecutive terms after Grover Cleveland, a feat that was last accomplished 132 years ago. While his landslide victory has ignited enthusiasm among his Right-wing supporters, it has also provoked deep-rooted anxiety among many who anticipate a return to the regressive and mercurial policies that marked his last term in the office. On the other hand, there are many in the United States who are disillusioned with the policies of the country regardless of which political party is in power.
During the peak of the election, social media became a battleground of its own. Memes flooded platforms like X and Instagram, with humor and satire becoming powerful weapons of expression to reflect the polarized and anticipatory mood of the nation. More than anything, this proves how meme culture has become a significant factor in political opinion, with viral posts influencing political narratives of both sides.
Here are Some of the Most Hilarious Memes that Went Viral During the Election:
