During the nine days Donald Trump has occupied the office of United States president, he has proposed damaging policies, and implemented dangerous executive orders, that threaten the foundation of American democracy. He also unleashed millions of passionate protestors, making himself the target of social media mockery in the form of anti-Trump protest memes that make it clear — that for millions of Americans — Trump is not their president.

I know you're feeling weary. Since Nov. 8 it seems like the United States has turned into one bad reality TV show that you can't turn off. In between protesting Trump's administration, writing letters to, and calling, your representatives, donating to organizations like Planned Parenthood, and the ACLU, you're exhausted. Remember to take time to decompress and take care of yourself — and remember to keep your sense of humor while you're fighting the good fight.

According to at the University of Denver Political Scientist Erica Chenoweth, who studies nonviolent resistance, “Humor plays an important role in framing the mood of a political action,” Chenoweth told Charley Locke in a Jan. 25 Wired article. “When campaigns are starting to build popular support, the more it looks like a big party, the better.”

To that end, anti-Trump protest memes are a good tool to keep in your activist arsenal. When you feel like giving up, or you just need to laugh, share a meme. Here's 13 of the best anti-Trump memes and signs trending right now on twitter.
