These grids are screenshots of Lady Gaga's Instagram feed from November 4th through Election Night. For days, she posted nothing but election-related content, often multiple times a day. These posts range from simple reminders to vote, to the visual rhetoric of patriotic reds, whites, and blues, to pathos-based fan videos. She collected videos submitted by fans in which they expressed their support for Clinton and their reasons for voting for her. Often these reasons were a desire to live in a world of love, tolerance, diversity, and safety. These posts were powerful and strongly appealed to the logos of fans on social media who identified with the people in the videos-many young, women, LGBT, and people of color...and all Lady Gaga fans.
