Political Memes

You’re absolutely right about all of this, of course. The only thing I might add is that I suspect the apparent support for the disastrous policies - of which the “Orange One” is, of course, nothing more than a figurehead - could well be an illusion created by the fact that virtually all major media outlets are under the direct control of those responsible.

Control over the media allows the regime to distort public opinion, or what is perceived as such. Through their influence, they can make minority opinions appear as if they were majority opinions, which may not necessarily be the case.

Since, despite everything, I continue to believe - admittedly rather naively - in the good in people, I suspect that the vast majority of U.S. citizens do not agree with what the regime is doing. If this is the case, an emerging mass protest movement could make it clear that the majority of U.S. citizens are in fact in opposition to the regime and demand that it be held immediately accountable for its crimes (even before new elections or the hope for the Democrats, whom, in my judgment, one can only count on to a very limited extent).

It would be the ideal opportunity to finally do away with the system once and for all, of which the current regime is, in fact, merely the latest symptom.

I realize, of course, that this seems rather utopian, but I fear that there is no other way forward than through continuous mass civil disobedience if the situation is ever to change fundamentally.
