The 'Trigger the Libs' meme is a staple of online political discourse, primarily used to mock the perceived hypersensitivity of liberal or progressive groups. Emerging during the mid-2010s, the phrase 'triggering' was ironically co-opted from psychological contexts to describe the act of intentionally provoking outrage for entertainment. These memes typically feature smug expressions, patriotic imagery, or mundane actions framed as defiant acts against political correctness. While it began as a genuine tool for conservative 'trolling,' it has since evolved into a meta-ironic trope used by various internet factions to satirize the performative and often absurd nature of modern political arguments.
