How Nevada Becomes Suddenly Relevant Through Memes

 By: Elise Stefankiewicz


Nevada is solely known for Las Vegas and everything that comes with it. The entertainment industry and gambling aspect of Nevada make it known to most. But besides its major cities, Nevada is mostly desert, which has not been relevant since the Area 51 talk back in the summer of 2019. But nonetheless, it is once again relevant, but this time for not counting votes fast enough. 


The fascination with the election this year is very high and as we all sit on our couches and stare at the news awaiting the results, social media has taken a humorous spin on it all. Nevada is the target of twitter and Tik Tok right now. This is because if Joe Biden wins Nevada, he will get his total of 270 electoral votes and therefore win the election. However, this is only projected and the votes have not all been counted. The internet definitely has its way of making jokes during serious times, but when it comes down to it, this one state determines our whole future as a country. People on twitter are so eager for Nevada's results that they have basically started to attack the state with internet memes.


While Nevada is taking its dear sweet time, we can all anxiously wait for the results of this election by tapping into Twitter or TikTok for some comical relief on the whole situation. Just remember - laughter decreases your stress hormones and sometimes a little laughter can help us get through tough or stressful times.
