Political Memes

 When assigned the task to do political memes, there were ideas that came to mind immediately. I feel that memes are fun and exciting ways to express political ideas and beliefs, while also poking fun at today's politicians. Although my political beliefs may be clear through the memes, the ideas behind them can be applied to any party.

There are clearly things that Donald Trump has done in his pregnancy, however as someone who has different political beliefs than the former presidents, there was much more I would have liked to happen (or not happen) and this meme pokes fun at my disappointment with his presidency.

Maya Rudolph has played the role of Kamala Harris on SNL. Now that Kamala Harris is the Vice President of the United States, she will be a prominent figure to poke fun at, and SNL will definitely jump on the opportunity to keep skits about her around.


When Donald Trump took off his mask while still having the COVID-19 pandemic, many Americans were disappointed in the president. This meme shows what type of mask Donald Trump might enjoy to wear. 


After the domestic terrorism attack on the US capitol, many claimed that this was NOT an act of domestic terrorism. It doesn't matter who performs the act or where they are from, an act of such violence and anger is definitely considered domestic terrorism.


President Joe Biden promised to speed up pandemic work in his pregnancy. Many Trump supporters were angry that Biden couldn't fulfill his promise and got mad when he unrealistically didn't make the virus go away out of no where.

Barbara Walters: A Trailblazer. An Icon. A Woman.

Image
            If there is one word to describe Barbara Walters, it would be trailblazer. Walters has paved paths in every aspect of journalism and will go down as perhaps one of if not the most influential female journalists in history. With respect to the women who came before her, Walter's did not accept no as an answer and was the first female to do many things in the journalism industry. Barbara was born in September of 1931 in Boston, MA to a very wealthy family. Walters' father was a prominent night club owner who brought in a lot of money for her family. Walters graduated high school in 1949 and shortly after, attended Sarah Lawrence College where she graduated with a bachelor's degree in English. After her father passed away, their family endured financial struggles and Barbara had to step up and fill that burden when she was just 22-23 years old.
