14 History Memes To Distract From The Present

When we're feeling down about the many problems with the modern day, history memes can be helpful. Mostly because they remind us that we're just living through another big event in the grand scheme of things, and based on past trends, the world has always been in pretty terrible shape. Maybe it's not the most optimistic thought, but it's comforting to joke about the mistakes people made hundreds of years ago rather than fixating on our own.

Hopefully, these memes will offer some therapeutic benefit to get you through this difficult era. If not, maybe they'll at least teach you some pretty weird history facts that you never knew about before. Thanks to the efforts of people who know way more about history than the rest of us, we've got some of the best history-themed memes to share with you today, so here are some of our new favorites.

The Story of John Hinkley Jr.

I'll assassinate the president, just like in the movie. That'll make her notice me. This definitely won't just horrify her and land me in an insane asylum.
