Once popular meme of Putin that shows his face made up like a drag queens with bright red lipstick, dark eyeshadow, blue eyelids, exaggerated eyelashes, and yellow highlights in his hair, including yellow covering his bald spot. His shirt collar under the suit is dark from the shadow of his face, with some rainbow stripes to match the rainbow flag behind him.

Here is a once popular meme in Russia that the thin-skinned Putin banned, thereby making it more popular (artist unknown). This is one of the examples that J. Michael Waller offers in “Weaponizing Ridicule” (Military Review, Sept.–Oct. 2017). His findings, it seems to me, are relevant to how we could deal with the big orange lump.
