The Republican Party Doge-d Hillary Clinton and the Democrats Fired Back.

from the WaPo:

Much has been made of the symbiosis between politics and memes, which has been particularly visible (if not always successful) over the last few years. But this afternoon, Republicans and Democrats — real adult people, representing America’s interests — took the whole meme thing one step further. The Republican Party doge-d Hilary Clinton. And the Democrats fired back.

RNC @GOP
.@HillaryClinton's out-of-touch idea of "dead broke" is some mansions & $200,000 for a few hours work.


The Democrats @TheDemocrats
.@GOP your memes are as dated as your policies.

Release the Memes
Totally Hip and With-It GOP Uses Doge Meme to Criticize Hillary Clinton

Is this an attempt by the GOP to be relatable to today’s youths? If so, it’s a pretty lame one. People of the Internet have been sooo over doge for months now, possibly starting around the time the U.S. Health Department and a conservative PAC used doge memes to bicker over Twitter. GOP, please readjust your elephant-shaped pocket watches to Internet time.

Additionally, no one’s going to take you seriously — not even young’ns— if you communicate to the public via goofy memes. You don’t look relatable — just immature.

Then again, maybe the GOP purposely used the outdated meme to appeal to some of its older followers. We all know they’re a little slow on the uptake when it comes to modern tech trends.
