The Beto Sex Tweet meme is based on a viral, edited screenshot of a Twitter post from politician Beto O'Rourke that simply reads, 'I am going to have sex.' Emerging during his 2020 presidential campaign, the image was a satirical edit of a livestream caption that captured the internet's imagination due to its blunt, non-sequitur nature. It quickly became a staple of 'ironic' or 'surreal' humor, used as a reaction image to express overwhelming confidence or bizarre excitement in completely unrelated contexts. The meme serves as a parody of the often-awkward attempts by politicians to connect with younger audiences through social media.
