It's November 2020, and the world is tense. The US presidential election was two days ago, but we don't know the result; the votes are still being counted. People are eyeing the United States like it's a bomb. Will Trump be re-elected? Please don't let Trump be re-elected.
Because Covid has shut everything down, distractions are limited; a lot of people have nothing to do but scroll tensely through social media, waiting for news to come out of the US. A single spark could ignite the atmosphere.
Suddenly: news out of the US, a grenade of news, an explosion. It's suddenly the only thing anyone is talking about. Do we know the result from Nevada at last?
No. The penultimate episode of Supernatural just aired, and Dean/Castiel is canon. The absolute last thing anyone expected, and the only thing that could have distracted the entire Internet from the major political event taking place.
It was a weird day, and it kept getting weirder as more news broke - e.g. actual election results - and was immediately conveyed through Dean/Castiel memes. Some of these were rumours rather than actual news; one false story that gained huge traction was 'Putin is resigning'.
