Cartoon of British politician dabbing inspires a glorious meme

Vote for memes, 2017.

Jeremy Corbyn has officially made the beautiful transition from leader of the Labour Party to leader of the Meme Party.

On Thursday, the internet trolled the Labour leader yet again after a very special cartoon image of Corbyn dabbing -- yes, dabbing -- was posted by a fan account to Twitter.

The image featured the British politician's memorable quote from an interview on Thursday, about the rebellious plans he has in store ahead of the general election in June.

"They say I don’t play by the rules – their rules ... They’re quite right I don't," Corbyn said, practically begging to be memed.

The internet followed the pro-Corbyn account's lead and took his epic quote (and the cringeworthy illustration of him dabbing) to another level.

The UK general election is on June 8, and a vote for Corbyn is clearly a vote for memes.
