What's happening there?
Nothing. It's a meme from 1999 prior to the American presidential election in 2020.
Bernie Sanders used the Scandinavian countries as reference for his progressive social-democratic politics. Fox News attacked it by comparing it to Venezuela. The Clickhole website by the Onion ran the pictured satirical article to highlight the absurdity of the Fox News claims.
Thanks for explaining!
