Almost nothing prepared 2024 for the most current rage on Instagram. It is not a celebrity, politician, or influencer but a small rodent named Peanut. Peanut the squirrel dying from euthanasia at the hands of New York state officials days before the presidential election has caused a political storm.
Donald Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, sprung into action, saying that Trump is really "fired up" about Peanut dying. Elon Musk also chimed in, drawing the comparison to John Wick’s story, insisting Trump will absolutely "save the squirrels" if he is re-elected. Now that Peanut has become a mascot for animal rights, squirrels are the meme moment of the week.
