Doug Jones: ‘Twin Peaks’ Fans Celebrate the Democrat’s Upset Win in Alabama With Dougie Jones Gifs
Helloooo-oooo! Doug Jones pulled off an upset win last night, becoming Alabama’s first Democratic senator in more than 20 years in the process. “Twin Peaks” fans, well aware that the newest member of Congress (almost) shares a name with one of Kyle MacLachlan‘s many incarnations on “The Return,” celebrated with an appropriate smattering of gifs, memes, and other jokes.

In retrospect it was all over when Dougie Jones saw the red curtains from the Black Lodge over the voting booth

I know Twin Peaks ’17 was weird & not wildly popular but it’s IMPORTANT that the whole story was about a nice guy named Dougie Jones who defeated a demon who raped teenagers.
