NexusMods states that, as was the case in 2016, they’re already seeing a massive influx of low-effort and controversial mods being added to random titles for memes: Biden mods have popped up in Skyrim that turns the player weak and killable in one hit. With the upcoming ‘dumpster fire’ of the 2020 Presidential Election, it’s threatening to come to a head once again. In spite of this, it’s difficult to browse the internet at the moment without running into a barrage of overplayed memes from one camp or another attempting to weaken the opposition’s stance and dehumanize their voter bases as modern elections are decided more readily off of memes and ‘ sticking it to the opposition‘ rather than issues and any actual merits that candidates may have.
Certain jokes, such as the United States political system as a whole, simply become a bit less funny over time as they’re told to citizens time and again.
