Though not directly traced, it is based on a Facebook post of some random faggot crying and seething about Donald Trump. Said post and/or the image became popular around MAGA circles to make fun of Democrats and on Reddit as a Dank Meme reaction image. The Soyjak version was probably created sometime around this, some considering it as a NASWojak, though it does shares most IAS traits by being bald, wearing glasses and being traced off a Soyboy, only missing the open mouth and stubble. The variant became obscure on the party and unacknowledged on the SoyBooru, but it was posted on old /qa/ often.
