In the intricate landscape of contemporary political communication, the Instagram manifestation of symbolic representation reaches new heights of performative mythology.

The Instagram meme transcends mere digital ephemera, becoming a complex text of political self-representation. It speaks to the deep-seated American mythological narrative of the heroic individual—a narrative that resonates profoundly within MAGA cultural consciousness.
