The United States of America: love it or hate it, it’s impossible to live in the modern world without being touched by its geopolitical and cultural power. Most of the sites and social media networks we find our memes on are predominantly American, and American English has in many ways become the lingua franca of the modern internet. But there’s another side to America: a crazy, silly, outright weird side.

It’s a country of maximums and overindulgences, of too many guns and not enough healthcare coverage, of willfully and stubbornly irrational behavior. It’s a country of winners and idealists who will choose the dream over the reality every single time. Foremost among these modern dreamers of the American Dream of freedom is Florida Man, but there are many other Americans following in his crazy footsteps. These memes about the USA come from Reddit r/americamemes.
