“Me voting in 2016 vs. 2018” meme reminds us who we’ve become since Trump was elected

Impact

On Nov. 8, 2016, Donald Trump was elected as president of the United States. Since Trump’s entered the White House, we’ve witnessed a lot: the #MeToo movement, migrant family separations, bans on Muslim people from entering the United States, racist comments toward African nations, foolhardy decisions ignoring climate change and an eyebrow-raising bromance with Kanye West.

It’s been a long two years.

Two Novembers later and the midterm elections are upon us, where a potentially record number of voters will show up to make their voices heard. Many of those who voted in 2016, though, are markedly different now — the current political climate has changed them, and the internet has been responding accordingly.

Here are a few of the funniest 2016 vs. 2018 memes.
