1. Communication and creation:
- Surge in number: Such major events provide meme creators with rich materials and topics, triggering the creation and spread of a large number of related memes. People will make fun of, spoof, or re-create memes based on the details of the event, Trump's reaction, the situation at the scene, and other elements, causing memes related to the event to spread rapidly in a short period of time. For example, there may be some memes that combine the scene of Trump's assassination with other popular culture elements, or exaggerate and humorously present the process of the event.
- Rising topic popularity: The assassination itself has a high level of attention and topicality, and the failed assassination has increased the drama and discussion of the incident. This has made the meme about Trump's assassination a hot topic on social media, attracting the attention and participation of a large number of users, further promoting the spread of the meme.
2. Expression of emotions and attitudes:
- Attitude differentiation: Some people may express their support and sympathy for Trump through memes, believing that he is a victim of political struggles. These memes may emphasize Trump's tenacity and courage, as well as condemnation of assassinations. Others may hold the opposite attitude and use memes to ridicule or question Trump, believing that his political stance and behavior triggered such an incident. This reflects the different views and attitudes of society towards Trump in meme culture.
- Emotional catharsis: For some people, memes are a way to express emotions. After the assassination, people may express their shock, fear, anger, or relief by creating and sharing memes. This emotional catharsis helps to ease the tense atmosphere caused by the incident, and also allows people to find an emotional resonance and sense of belonging in the virtual space.
3. Political and social impact:
- Strengthening of political satire: As a form of folk expression, memes are often used to satirize and criticize political figures and events. The failed assassination attempt on Trump has further stimulated people's thinking and discussion about the current political situation. Related memes may more sharply reveal the complexity of political struggles, the struggle for power, and the problems in the political system, thus exerting a certain amount of public opinion pressure and supervision on politics.
- A manifestation of social division: There are different political factions and differences of opinion in American society. This incident and related memes may exacerbate social divisions. The groups that support and oppose Trump will further strengthen their positions in the creation and dissemination of memes, deepen the confrontation and contradiction between the two sides, and have a certain negative impact on social harmony and stability.
