Setting aside the politics, I do like her as an example of how accent shapes perception. (For the classic example, how "BBC English" sounds important regardless of what they're saying.)

Her name is Greta Thunberg. She is a 16-year-old climate activist who just gave an excoriating speech to the UN about political inaction surrounding the issue of climate change. The picture was her glaring at Trump (in Klingon) as he walked by her.

It’s a huge thing on the Star Trek Shitposting group on FB. One of the primary mods has a huge library of them now. And the group is basically the only reason I’m still on FB.
