The 'I Would Have Voted For Obama For A Third Term' meme originates from Jordan Peele's 2017 horror-thriller Get Out. In the scene, Dean Armitage, a wealthy white man, utters the line to Chris, a Black man, as a way to signal his progressive credentials and lack of racism. This phrase quickly became the internet's shorthand for 'performative allyship'—the act of saying something socially or politically 'correct' in a way that feels insincere, forced, or patronizing. It is widely used on social media to mock brands, politicians, or individuals who overcompensate to prove they are 'woke' or down-to-earth, often resulting in high-level cringe.
