Even if they try to transform the culture through warped propaganda, the images will still be there.

I know what you’re saying though. China is an interesting example. Over decades their government censored the tank man photo and several surveys indicated a majority of Chinese (especially younger people) either hadn’t seen it or believed it was fake news or a scene from a movie. It will be harder for republicans to enact that level of control, given the cultural differences, but I’m sure they’ll do their best.

So yes we should definitely be vigilant.
