The #HillarySoQualified meme originated in April 2016 as a trending hashtag during the US Democratic primary campaign. It was initially sparked by comments made by Bernie Sanders regarding Hillary Clinton's qualifications for the presidency. Supporters quickly flipped the narrative to highlight her extensive resume, while critics used the tag sarcastically to mock her career and controversies. Over time, the meme evolved into a general-purpose template featuring various images of Clinton—often looking confident, laughing, or wearing sunglasses—paired with commentary on her political longevity and the absurdity of internet discourse. It remains a staple of political satire and 2010s internet culture.
