The role of Ungbiiposz in the 3095 consular elections is overstated here. Theoposz was always a paper tiger who looked good in theory but didn't have what it took to appeal to anyone outside of their activist base, and their initial popularity was largely the result of them not being Valanous. Ungbiiposz was merely reflective of the change in perceptions as they came under close scrutiny from outside of their cult following for the first time, not the cause of them. ''Hilarious'' national stereotypes aside, politicians do not lose elections because of common garden memes, not even on Weun.

I have no argument with the meat of Khalnik's addition here - even if I'm not in agreement with it, it's an important, and sober, counter-point in a multi-faceted political environment - but I will point out that if "common garden" memes held no significant sway over democratic processes, campaigns would not be spending on average 1/3 of their resources in public outreach trying to replicate them.
