Anne Applebaum on the Trump regime's memeification of war:
"It's this performance online culture designed for, I don't know, teenage boys and and their grown-up equivalents. But it also has a purpose. It makes people say, you know, this war is unserious. All of this will make people feel disengaged and it may work. I mean, you know, how can you focus on a serious war when you're being told the story of it through comic strips and videos."
