As the US Congress met to count the Electoral College votes and confirm President-elect Joe Biden as the nation’s next leader on Wednesday, Trump loyalists protesting the election results stormed the Capitol Hill building, forcing Vice President Mike Pence to be ushered out of the Senate chamber and putting the entire complex on lockdown.
The unprecedented security breach followed by scenes of mobs freely strolling through the halls of Congress and uploading celebratory photographs of themselves, encouraged netizens to flood social media with jokes and memes around what they believed to be an impending civil war.
