The Internet Is Doing Weird Things to J. D. Vance's Face
Briefly

Vice President JD Vance has become a viral meme figure, with his face being humorously altered to depict him as a baby-faced doofus. These memes gained traction after his appearance with Ukraine's president, featuring playful captions that mock his perceived childishness and incompetence. Interestingly, while many memes originate from left-wing sources, they are equally embraced by right-leaning users, indicating a unique, bipartisan mockery of Vance that transcends typical political boundaries, showing a rare instance where political adversaries join in humor at a common target.
In recent days, memes have spread across social media in which the vice president's face has been Photoshopped to give him cartoonishly chubby cheeks. He looks like a bearded baby or Humpty Dumpty.
These memes first appeared in October when a user on X posted an image of Vance captioned: 'For every 100 likes I will turn JD Vance into a progressively apple cheeked baby.'
Of course, people love making memes that portray their political adversaries as hapless and incompetent. But what's unique here is that these images of Vance are going viral on the left-wing internet but are also popular on the right.
Explicitly pro-Trump accounts on X that otherwise spend their time bashing liberals are posting embarrassing memes of their party's second in command.
