Trump haters commiserate with UK over Boris Johnson with a heartfelt meme
Boris Johnson has officially become the next prime minister of the UK, and there's something eerily familiar about him to Americans.
Johnson holds isolationist and anti-immigration views (he's basically the face behind Brexit); he's loud and outspoken; and he has a mop of yellow-blond hair. Sound familiar?
If you're pretty sure you've seen this before, plenty of people on Twitter agree with you. Johnson has been dubbed "British Trump," and once you've noticed the similarities, it's pretty hard to separate the two. Many Americans have decided to reach out to our friends across the pond, starting Tweets with "Dear UK" and offering everything from advice and empathy to snarky comments.
Dear UK citizens:
We get it - we didn’t vote for our guy either.
Sincerely,
US citizens— Jake Maccoby (@jdmaccoby) July 23, 2019
Dear UK,

Dear UK - at first we were all worried when we saw the news. But imagine our relief when our own Princess daughter-wife, another stable genius, informed us it was United Kingston. That's over there by Whales. Bet you wish you had the Trumps. pic.twitter.com/Wi07or7l7X— Diane Toucan (@DianeToucan) July 23, 2019

Dear UK,
Welcome to #TheResistance. We'll survive these idiots and emerge stronger than ever.
And congratulations on the name change! I was a fan of the old one, but here we are. pic.twitter.com/WUTPG1VFfk— Jenna 🏳️🌈 (@corvuscorxx) July 23, 2019
Dear UK,
We get it: a fraction of your country's population, not representative of the country as a whole, gave you moron Boris Johnson, aka British trump.
We share your dismay. We'll get through this together, if these wankers don't destroy our countries.
Love,

Dear UK,
Welcome to the club. Go refill your anxiety meds & stock up on tea. At least yours has read a book.#BorisDay pic.twitter.com/Nwbe90gFXA— meginfj (@meginfj1) July 23, 2019
