If you watched the US presidential debate between vice presidents Kamala Harris and they were President Donald Trump September 10th, I apologize for the psychological damage you, along with the rest of us, have suffered. If you haven’t sat down and watched it, you’ve probably heard a lot of crazy quotes taken out of context on social media or news shows. I hate to say it, but some of the crap that came out of Trump’s mouth doesn’t make sense anymore if you watched it live. Harris finally got to debate Trump this time, since President Joe Biden was still in the game during Presidential debate in June. While the lineup is different, one truth remains the same: debating is torture, but posting is awesome.
Since posting shit on social media is the only way half of us can combat the existential fear of watching politicians do nothing for you, the funniest people on the planet are spending the debate on their phones, spinning a wild web of reactions to cope. These jokes often intersect with video games and other subsets of nerd culture. We’ve gathered a few select posts for your entertainment.
The most eminent jokes include Trump’s statement that Harris wants to “perform transsexual surgeries on illegal immigrants in prison” or his repetition false story who claimed that Haitian immigrants were eating people’s pets in Springfield, Ohio. It would be entertaining if this kind of false rhetoric didn’t also have likely real-world consequences for people just trying to live their lives. Either way, try to stay sane and have a few laughs. We’re all going to need it.
Chances are we’ll be singing this song and dancing again soon, because Harris he asked for a second debate with Trump right after the first one. I’d say Trump would say no, given how weird and inconsistent he was in this one, but has the man ever shown an ounce of shame?
