Blue Humor: Making light of Tuesday’s election results

If Democrats have been humorless these past two years, it might have been because they were saving it up. The blue wave of the midterm elections unleashed some hilarious quips across social media.

Canada allegedly took the cake for “best trolling stunt” by shining blue lights across Niagara falls, (however fact checking showed that it was in fact a regularly scheduled color shift to “teal.”)  And if you ever thought Democrats were boring, check out the selfie video Iowa governor-elect (and former model) Rob Sands posted of himself skateboarding while wearing a Carhartt jacket, drinking cranberry juice and singing Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” (a nod to a classic TikTok trend).

Here are our top 10 one-liners from social media.

• Inflation is truly out of control when you can’t even buy a senator for $400 million.

• The Republican Party would like everyone to respect its new verbs: was/were.

• My favorite part of fall is watching the states change colors.

• Now comes the difficult work of transgendering all the guns.

• Canada is looking through the blinds right now watching the crack house next door get raided.

• Roses are red. Everything else is blue.

• Sex is cool but have you tried watching Republicans lose in the Florida districts they gerrymandered?

• Republicans are now what they fear most: a minority.

• I’m going out for my gay Islamic reassignment abortion, does anyone need anything?
