“Anyway, arrest the cops who killed Breonna Taylor.” This has become a common refrain, repeated across social media in tweets, inposts, in Instagram captions.
“Memes frequently operate as exemplars of larger trends, as well as stand-ins for cultural anxieties and ways to express and alleviate fears or other emotions through humor,” writer Aja Romano explained inabout the popularity of World War III memes after reports that President Donald Trump had ordered the assassination of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani.
