The 'Relatable Romney' meme first surfaced during the 2012 U.S. Presidential Election, capturing various moments where candidate Mitt Romney appeared to be struggling to connect with the average voter. The meme typically highlights the disconnect between Romney's immense wealth and his attempts to appear down-to-earth, often using captions that portray him as an aristocrat trying to understand 'commoner' behavior. While it began as a political critique, it has evolved into a broader template for any situation involving someone who is hilariously out of touch with reality or social norms. Whether it is discussing his 'binders full of women' or his forced attempts at casual conversation, the meme remains a staple of political internet culture.
