# The Goal Of The Left In June 2020, Twitter user @pappyG45 posted a four-panel chart predicting American women would wind up in burkas by 2023 because of pandemic masking, and @DeAnna4Congress gave it the caption 'The goal of the Left' a day later. Within a week, posters were replacing the 2023 burka panel with a Death Grips album cover, a cat, and other absurd endpoints. ## Origin On June 19, 2020, Twitter user @pappyG45 posted the original four-panel image showing a woman in a surgical mask in 2020 progressing to a full burka in 2023, presented as a warning that COVID masking was a cover for spreading Islam in the United States[1]. The post itself was a sincere conspiracy claim and circulated inside right-wing Twitter without a defining caption. A day later, on June 20, 2020, congressional candidate @DeAnna4Congress retweeted the image with the caption 'The goal of the Left,' and that version collected over 2,500 retweets and 3,700 likes[2]. That short caption is what let other posters point at the chart as a single named target[5]. - **Platform:** Twitter - **Creator:** @pappyG45 (original image); parody template popularized via @DeAnna4Congress caption - **Date:** 2020 ## Overview A four-panel source image stacks pictures of the same woman labeled 2020 through 2023, with each year showing progressively more face covering until she reaches a full burka in the final panel[1]. @DeAnna4Congress's caption called pandemic masks part of a left-wing plan to bring Islam into America, and that wording is what gave the chart its mockable name[2]. Parody versions keep the earnest mask-escalation panels but replace only the burka with whatever the author finds funnier, so the gag works on contrast between the serious conspiracy setup and the absurd payoff[5]. Common endpoints include band imagery and animals, with specific examples ranging from a Death Grips album cover[3] to a cat[4]. ## How to Use Posters typically start with the four-panel source image, keep the 2020 through 2022 mask-escalation panels unchanged, and replace only the 2023 burka with any absurd endpoint such as a band photo, an animal, or a cartoon character[3][4]. The 'goal of the Left' caption is often included on top so the parody references the original claim it is mocking. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is The Goal Of The Left?
