Memes are lot of fun--except when they take over our elections and our perceptions about dt, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and others.

Memes replay our candidates' most likeable moments--and most embarrassing moments--endlessly. Amanda plays countless examples.
But she concludes, "Memes make [insert someone like dt or others] immune to criticism and less accountable to us."
Memes--a new formula for disaster.
