Can Jokes Bring Down Governments?

Social media certainly made a huge impact on people nowadays. Facebook and Twitter made a strong impact and influenced politics. Those platforms’ users constantly express their political stand by posting some sentences and pictures that relate to the politics topic.

When it comes to politics, it is a sensitive topic in any country. There is even a saying says that don't discuss politics with your family and friends cause it brings up a fight.

People normally share jokes with each other, and by sharing those political-related memes. Even though people who aren't concern or interest in politics, if they think the jokes are fun and they take it seriously in some way, I do think it can get some impact. Especially for some people who don't really care about politics and don't really have a political stand. Those type of people can easily get influenced by the memes.
