MAFA MAKE AMERICA FRENCH AGAIN! NOUVELLE-FRANCE LOUISIANE-FRANCAISE CARAIBES REPRENONS NOS ANCIENS TERRITOIRES!
Overview
A satirical meme poster styled as a political campaign advertisement. The top text reads 'MAFA MAKE AMERICA FRENCH AGAIN!' in bold letters. Below is a stylized map of North America labeled 'Nouvelle-France' (New France) with regions like 'Louisiane-Française' (French Louisiana) and 'Caraibes' (Caribbean) highlighted. The map is decorated with French flags, a windmill, sailboats, and a TGV train labeled 'TGV NEW YORK'. On the left, the Statue of Liberty is depicted holding a torch and a baguette. The bottom text in French states 'REPRENONS NOS ANCIENS TERRITOIRES!' (Let's take back our old territories!), accompanied by icons of baguettes, cheese, and wine, and the phrase 'Bonjour!'.
Origin notes
This meme is a remix of the 'Make America Great Again' (MAGA) slogan, reimagined as 'Make America French Again' (MAFA) to humorously reference French colonial history in North America. It was sourced from Reddit's Meme community, likely created using image editing software to combine historical map elements, French cultural icons, and satirical text.
![This is a 2-panel reaction meme using the well-known Mr Bean exam cheating scene template. In the first panel, the student sitting on the left is labeled 'Europe', focused on writing on his exam paper, while Mr. Bean sitting to his right is labeled 'Americans naming cities' and is sneakily glancing at Europe's paper. In the second panel, Europe looks up with an annoyed, surprised expression at Mr. Bean, who is caught looking, with text next to Mr. Bean reading '"New [City name]"'. The joke satirizes the common naming convention used for many United States cities, where the prefix 'New' is added to the name of an existing European city for newly established settlements, such as New York, New Orleans, New Hampshire, and New London.](https://gagbase.com/i/c/memes/96/58/df/90/9658df90d3c4d5bf9899ba1e9a441daa.jpeg.webp)
