You’re acting as if https://doge.gov does not exist. Ask yourself under which presidency, administration and kind of politics such is allowed to even exist with a straight face.

It would've existed regardless of internet memes, just under a different and similarly obnoxious name.

You actually think if we replayed society and magically shut off internet memes it would have played out the exact same but under a different name?

More or less, but it depends on what is classed as an internet meme.
