The 'Clint Eastwood Empty Chair' meme, famously known as 'Eastwooding,' stems from the actor's bizarre 12-minute improvised speech at the 2012 Republican National Convention. In an attempt to criticize then-President Barack Obama, Eastwood performed a monologue addressed to a vacant wooden chair on stage. The image instantly became a social media sensation, resulting in thousands of people posting photos of themselves lecturing empty furniture. The meme is typically used to satirize one-sided debates, senile rants, or the feeling of arguing with someone who isn't actually there.
