Leopards Ate My Face

Every governments around the world have been going after illegal immigrants and offenders for the longest time. What the heck are they thinking supporting fascists? Oh wait, they are low information voters. Sorry, but that includes my mom, my cousin and a friend. I just can't help but roll my eyes when people say tHeY aRe oNlY gOiNg AfTeR IlLeGaLs! It's not necessarily the low information voter's fault though, social media brainwashed them to focus only on a droplet of reality while not seeing the entire ocean.

And I am not letting liberals and progressives off the hook either. Tbh, the left needs to catch up with the game of social media. It is with the benefit of hindsight and is hard to swallow to admit that the new frontline to win hearts and minds of the population is the social media. The Democratic administrations deported more people than Trump and somehow Americans do not know this and/or think Democrats are allowing illegal migration. The Biden administration failed to take full credit of improving economy. He thought that results will speak for itself. But no, he was wrong. He had to show it off! The right won the information war because they know how to address the people, aside from outsized funding that the right tend to throw at.

I think the left has allergy to social media and thinks it's vapid (which it is), but that's where the PR war is being engaged across the world right now. You have to be a show off because people in the age of digital world are superficial and empty-headed. The left has to be comfortable parading their ideas as 'Instagrammable'. It worked for the Brazilian president Lula, it worked for the Mexican left and it worked for Mamdani. Love or hate Obama, he was a savvy operator of social media and able to present his ideas (and cover up his flaws). He was called the first social media president after all. The old media are dying and old farts have to accept the new world, or else go by the way of dodos.
