Why weird JD Vance memes have taken over the internet

Ironically enough, a divisive moment in the Oval Office last weekend seems to have brought the entire internet together. When Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelensky visited the White House on February 28, ostensibly to hammer out plans for a peace agreement between his country and Russia, he probably didn’t expect to get berated by both Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. The ensuing, historically fiery exchange appeared to catch him off guard.  Similarly, most people who watched the spectacle play out on live TV may not have expected Vance’s role in it to explode into a meteor shower of memes among people of all political stripes. But that’s exactly what has happened. “Have you said thank you once” https://t.co/kCNfr59RAn pic.twitter.com/01mm34xg1u— New Liberals
