Social media's campaign of tagging every election post that doesn't fit the mainstream media narrative is now being mocked in memes ranging from Paul Revere's ride to the priest warning the Trojans about the Greek wooden horse.
The meme that kicked it all off appeared sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday, showing a "learn how British taxes are beneficial for society" label on a mock-up of a tweet by Paul Revere, with the famous quote attributed to him, "The British are coming!"
Revere was the rider who warned the Massachusetts colonists in 1775 that British troops were being sent to suppress them, ahead of the skirmishes at Lexington and Concord that would begin the American War of Independence.
