The internet has not been disappointed with its reactions to the blue wave during the 2026 midterms on Tuesday, when Democrats flipped both the U.S. House and Senate.

It was a tough night for Republicans as Democrats flipped Senate seats in several battleground and ruby-red states, including Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kansas, Iowa, Ohio and Maine, and held on to seats in Georgia and Michigan. As for the House, they also flipped more than two dozen districts.

As conservatives grapple with what went wrong, liberals are reveling in their big wins, specifically with memes and TikTok flooding social media. Some people are even using clips from popular movies and TV shows — such as The Office, Avengers: Endgame, Breaking Bad, Mean Girls and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby — to express their euphoric feelings as well as take jabs at President Donald Trump, who is undoubtedly frustrated.
