What 🐘 means

An elephant, a symbol of strength, size and a long memory. The phrase "an elephant never forgets" makes it a playful way to say "I remember what you did."

It flags "the elephant in the room," the big topic nobody wants to mention. Animal lovers and safari travelers use it plainly, and it often appears in posts about wildlife protection.

In the United States the elephant is the symbol of the Republican Party, so 🐘 can carry that political meaning in election talk.
