tldr: read rene girard
in a post truth world, whoever controls the narrative can dictate elections, sway general public opinion, scapegoat x demographic and the market. human desire = mimetic (idea) desire, people generally act in accordance to what they believe, but the trick is belief is entirely malleable because there isn't one person on the planet who has access to the truth. thats why shitposting online and spreading various infographics will eventually seep into the normie collective consciousness and their actions will imitate such. and i honestly do think that donald trump won both elections largely due to right wing 4chan meme (info) shitposting being spread into the normie social media zeitgeist
