The world was utterly shocked after thousands of Trump’s supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol building on January 6th in what turned out to be an unprecedented act of “domestic terrorism.” The rioters armed with “Make America Great Again” caps, military-style gear, flags, and, allegedly, zip-tie restraints breached barricades, smashed windows, and ransacked the Capitol building.
But now that the hunt to identify and arrest the rioters has begun, leading to some successful attempts already, the offenders don’t look so confident anymore. And people on the internet just couldn’t miss a chance to make fun of them.
The meme “How it started Vs. How it’s going” started circulating on social media, where people are sharing side-by-side images of Trump supporters during the Capitol ordeal versa their mugshots. “Where did his smile go?” someone rightly noted on Twitter, and you start wondering who’s smiling now.

Someone pointed out that simply putting on an obligatory face mask in times of pandemic would have helped not to be identified, but the rioters were too cool for that
