The 'I Love Democracy' meme features Chancellor Palpatine from the 2005 film Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. In the scene, Palpatine ironically expresses his love for the democratic process immediately after being granted emergency powers that effectively make him a dictator. Online, the screencap became a viral reaction image used to celebrate poll results, specifically when the outcome is humorous, absurd, or overwhelmingly lopsided. It captures a sense of smug satisfaction or feigned respect for 'the will of the people' when the result happens to align with one's own chaotic or specific interests.
