President Joe Biden and convicted felon Donald Trump went toe-to-toe last night in a historic presidential debate that somehow managed to be even less professional than what we had previously anticipated. Illuminating the nation’s broader feelings of crisis and despair, the debate underscored the widely shared belief that Biden’s mumbles of a campaign point to elder abuse, and that Trump’s campaign, while comically unserious, would send us hurtling toward unbridled fascism.
As always, we must find ways to laugh so that we don’t cry, and the depressing material from last night is undoubtedly premium crop ripe for picking on. May the following memes be cathartic, validating, and temporarily mask the feelings of dread that will eventually overpower you through your sleep and leave you awake from 3am onwards.
