In times of such perpetual turmoil as ours and amidst a year that has constantly thrown us hefty amounts of flaming garbage (in which today’s US election is simply one fetid speck of), it’s comforting to remind ourselves of the one true constant of our increasingly shit-stained society; memes.

Sure out-of-date-Twistie-perched-on-top-of-a-dog-turd Donald Trump MIGHT become the most powerful individual in the world after today’s votes are counted, heralding the commencement of the apocalyptic dystopian nightmare that we’ve all been warned about, but do you know what will always be there to brighten your day and remind you of all the good in the world? Fucking memes, that’s what.

Look, can memes hug you warmly at night or tell you you’re beautiful or take you on a romantic hot air balloon trip across Europe? In this writer’s opinion, yes. Yes they can.

Ok you know the drill. It’s US Election day and here are the best god damn memes and all round internet reactions. Kindly, get them up ya:

TRUMP CHUCKIN’ SOME SIDE-EYE

The meme-train pulled out of the station early on with this pic of the Super Gronk himself sussing out his wife Melania’s voting style.

THE TERROR SETS IN

Soon though, monstrous cake-faces were the least concern of the internet, as the true horror of what could happen began to crystallise, as Trump votes started to mount.
