Twitter was the one place that held the entire emotion of Election Day 2020.
As millions of Americans waited anxiously for election results, social media became a nonstop stream of jokes, memes, reactions, and commentary. It was tense, but users across the platform found creative ways to turn that tension into entertainment.
Reading through my timeline was like watching a live comedy show unfold in real time. One moment people were nervously updating each other on vote counts, and the next memes were going viral, and everyone was laughing through the chaos.
As key states counted ballots and the result remained undecided, each update triggered a new wave of online responses.
There was plenty of uncertainty around the election, but Twitter once again proved its power to unite people through humour. When the emotions were out in the open, the internet did what it does best and turned a historic moment into a collection of unforgettable memes.
