American politics now operate like memecoins confusing, full of noise, and driven by blind acceptance rather than real understanding. Instead of questioning narratives, people rally behind whatever gets the most engagement, as if truth is decided by likes and reposts. Musk isnā€™t uncovering facts; heā€™s repackaging them in a way that makes people feel like theyā€™re part of some grand awakening. And thatā€™s the real danger when misinformation is dressed up as ā€˜free speechā€™ and people stop fact-checking because they trust the person delivering the message, not the message itself. Itā€™s fascinating (and terrifying) to see how far technology has come. Not because itā€™s making people smarter, but because itā€™s making manipulation easier. And we arenā€™t even at the height of artificial intelligence yet. Imagine what happens when AI can generate ā€˜truthā€™ faster than anyone can verify it.

I mostly agree but to some extent this has been happening more and more for the last 45 years.

Truth be told, If Jared Kushner or some unknown government official pointed out the exact same facts, it wouldnā€™t even register. Thatā€™s why American politics has become a meme engagement now matters more than truth. Trumpā€™s unconventional style gave him notoriety, but when you mix that with the tech-driven influence of figures like Elon Musk, it becomes something far more dangerous. Most people now get their information from X, where perception can be shaped or entirely rewritten in real time. Itā€™s no longer just about whatā€™s true, but about who controls the algorithm that decides what you see. And thatā€™s the real danger.
