Viral Antics and Political Discourse

This chapter explores the absurdities of political engagement at the DNC, where right-wing figures attempted to create viral moments by disguising themselves. It contrasts these antics with the organized and unifying approach of the Democratic National Convention, while reflecting on the broader implications of social media on political discourse and personal connections. The conversation also highlights Barack Obama's insights on loneliness and digital culture, critiquing the values that society upholds in the age of social media.
