A vital part of humanity is hope. Hope for the future and hope for mankind. Which is why we got a little (understandably) excited about the dawning of a new year. Perhaps as a chance to let go of the chaos of 2020 and nurture that hope for potentially better days ahead?

It’s almost as if we forgot that we just can’t have nice things.

Less than a week into 2021, we’ve seen yet another historical WTF moment when Trump supporters, freshly stoked to a frenzy thanks to their decomposing pumpkin turd overlord, stormed the Capitol because they were salty about the election results.

As terrifying as this is, people reacted as people do. Using humor and levity to cope, we ended up with a fresh batch of memes about 2021 even though WE ARE LITERALLY JUST ONE FUGGIN’ WEEK IN.

So curl up, take a break from doomscrolling, and check out what the Internet had to say about 2021 after a mere few days. Enjoy!
