The iconic musical ‘RENT‘ asked us one simple question: how do you measure – measure a year?
Well today, it’s become clear that ‘memes’ have surpassed the far inferior ‘calendar’ as a measurement of time. January 2017 gave us Salt Bae, February was Cash Me Ousside, and March will forever be known as ‘This is the future that liberals want‘. (On a personal note, I’m particularly pleased about that because it’s my birthday in March and this meme rules.)
So. What is it? What’s our new meme?

“This is the future that liberals want,” the tweet said, and by ‘liberals’ they mean the lowercase ‘l’ of cool, non-bigoted folk, not the uppercase ‘L’ of the uncool, wildly bigoted Liberal Party of Australia.
It appears that the Twitter account, @polNewsNetwork, were trying to make a point. But of course, it spectacularly backfired and now we have both a new meme AND a collection of rad photos on the internet.

Of course, it wasn’t all memes. Some people were just genuinely stoked to have their vision of the future so cleanly mapped out.

@polNewsNetwork1 I think it looks nice — cultures existing comfortably together, no one being hurt in any way.
