Who Controls the Memes, Controls the Universe: The Power of Memes in Shaping Public Opinion

What is a meme, other than a comic creature born from the expediency of the internet and social media platforms? If the meme goes “viral”, it is instantly obvious that it resonated with millions of people and it is therefore considered a huge success. If not, “Oh, well…better luck next time.”

Depending on what side of the issue you live on, memes can be amusing or annoying. Many are political in nature and tend to deal with inflammatory or emotional current events. The internet response tells the pundits a lot about the public sentiment concerning the topic highlighted in the meme.

Generally, most memes try to be humorous. But, again, it depends your point of view. Memes have become such powerful influencers that, in many cases, they rule the issues, swaying individuals towards their point of view. They make you think, reflect and react. Are you with ‘em, or against ‘em? And they do it with lightning speed. They give the opinion expressed validity and authenticity which encourages others to verbalize, or share, those opinions in pubic, knowing they are not alone in their views.

Elon Musk got sick and tired of the left-leaning loons controlling social media. He knew that Twitter was censoring, deleting and shadow-banning conservative expression on the internet, and after Twitter banned former President Trump from its social platform, he bought it.

Musk then eliminated 80% of its employees. That’s right EIGHTY PERCENT! Tucker Carlson interviewed Musk soon after his acquisition of Twitter and when asked to verify those numbers Musk responded saying, “Turns out that you don’t need that many people to run Twitter. If you don’t try and run some sort of glorified activist organization, and you don’t care about censorship, you can really let go of a lot of people it turns out.”

President Trump is also pushing back. He has recently launched his own response to the Google, Twitter, Facebook, and Tik Tok’s fake news, censorship and shadow-banning with the launch of his Truth Social platform. What started as a Twitter type format has evolved into the recent announcement that its Truth+ TV streaming platform is now fully operational. Trump is now, not only competing with the social platforms but with main stream media TV as well. It’s about time we started to level the playing field.

When you consider that, post-presidential election, MSNBS viewership is down 54%, CNN is down 36% while Fox is up 32%, it’s not surprising that the limousine liberal news media is in “shock”. They have never been in touch with the average American’s concerns. They live in an echo chamber, and as a result, they just don’t get it. Carlo Versano of Newsweek summarized the decline by writing, “The path of traditional media’s institutional collapse is really two intertwining stories: a breakdown of its business model exasperated by a breakdown of influence, the extent of which became clear this campaign cycle.” Mr. Versano continues, “Behind it all lies a growing sense among Americans that the media cannot be trusted to tell them the news they believe is fair.”

Chris’ new Silver Shield coin, “Who Controls the Memes, Controls the Universe”, exposes the conundrum of the illicit behavior of the left-leaning media and also reveals a simple remedy. FIGHT BACK!

We should all be grateful that the powerful Good Guys in America are fed up too. They are finally pushing back and all of America will benefit from their colossal efforts to swing the pendulum away from the Dark Side and back towards the Light again.
