Culture is more of a living entity than the human substrate that expresses it. Cultural information fights for expression and replication through a physical human host. It has the capability to live indefinitely, seeks replication and the host may be even willing to die in defense of it. Welcome to meme warfare

Like David and Goliath the Republican and Democratic parties fight for what amounts to cultural dominance…meme dominance. The Republican narrative, language and consciousness is effectively being replicated throughout our society.

Jack Dorsey’s elimination of political advertising won’t level the playing field. The “woke” are outnumbered by the host victims.
