Related Explainer: What's The Jeb Bush Election Map Meme? Jeb's 'Flawless Victory' And 'Sweep' Explained


About

Jeb Wins, also known as Jeb Bush Flawless Victory, refers to an exploitable electoral college map parody featuring Jeb Bush celebrating in front of an electoral college map where he has won all 538 electoral college votes. After the original image spread before the 2016 United States Presidential Election, its concept has been used as a meme in various other elections across the globe and has been turned into an exploitable in which Bush is replaced with various other characters.

Origin

On February 1st, 2016, Jeb Bush[11] held a Town Hall Meeting In New Hampshire, where he criticized his fellow Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and tried to convince his supporters. Several pictures of Jeb's speech in the middle of the town hall were later uploaded to Getty Images[12] by Chip Somodevilla including the one featured in the "Jeb Wins" meme. (shown below, left)

The earliest memetic usage of Bush's image was posted on September 11th, 2016, when an anonymous 4chan user uploaded a photoshopped version (shown below, right) of the photo to /pol/. [8]

Spread

On September 14th, 2016, a user on /r/The_Donald submitted the edit, gaining 68 points.[1] The user has since deleted their account. The image became more popular as the November 8th presidential election approached, and again immediately after the election. On the night of the election, Redditor SyntheticStupidity[2] posted the picture to /r/dankmemes, gaining over 23,000 points. On the 9th, Xanthous_King[3] uploaded the image to /r/teenagers, gaining over 3,800 points. The image's popularity led to spinoffs used for various other elections around the globe. For example, during the 2017 UK Election, a Jeb edit featuring a map of the United Kingdom was posted to /r/The_Donald on April 21st, 2017,[4] gaining over 2,900 points (shown below, left). On May 8th,[5] in reference to the 2017 French Presidential Election, an edit featuring a map of France featuring Jeb was also posted to the subreddit. These were also first posted to /pol/,[9][10] where the meme had taken the name "Jeb Surge."
