Recently, I've noticed a rather interesting phenomenon.



After the meme craze on ETH died down, it was actually the political narrative tokens that managed to stand firm in the end. Now it seems like SOL is following a similar path.

This makes me wonder: are political narratives the top tier among memes? Even when the overall hype on a chain is cooling off, can political memes still hold the flag high?

Sometimes I think that the reason Americans aren't as crazy about entertainment celebrities might be because they've channeled all that "idol-making" energy into political activities instead. If you look at the supporters of those political figures, their fervor isn't much different from fans supporting their idols.

In the crypto world, political narratives naturally bring traffic and discussion, plus they have longer cycles and stronger consensus. Other types of memes might just have a quick pump and then fade away, but in the political sector, as long as the election cycles keep turning, the hype never really dies down.

This might also explain why, during shakeups on various chains, political memes always seem to have the last laugh.
ETH-0.31%
SOL-1.41%

Political memes do have high intensity, but I think the key difference is still the foundation of consensus. Over in the US, relying solely on idolizing figures isn’t enough to sustain things—the benchmarks are just too concrete, to put it bluntly. As for this current SOL wave, I think it’s almost over. I’m not that optimistic.

Political memes really are on top, but to be honest, this hype probably won't last that long, right? The US election cycle is only a few years, and after it's over, the trend will cool down. Wait, that's not quite right—voters are always around, so maybe there really is a possibility for this to become "normalized"... The political narrative blowing up on SOL seems kind of forced? There just aren't any other narratives left. Rather than saying it's on top, it's more like everything else has died. The idea of "deification energy" makes sense, but I feel like crypto's political fans are more rational compared to traditional political enthusiasts? Anyway, they're all here to make money. The ones that survive aren't necessarily the best; maybe it's just that this thing is the most resilient? All the other memes died, so the ones that are still around naturally look the strongest.

Haha, seriously, I used to just speculate on celebrity memes, and now I’ve been slapped in the face by political tokens. Looks like I need to learn how to follow political narratives. --- Damn, I never thought of this logic. The support power of political figure fans is truly top-notch, way crazier than celebrity fans. --- So basically, political memes come with their own trending topics and cycles. Other tokens fizzle out after one round, but this stuff can ride the election wave for four years. --- Damn, I missed out again. If I had known, I wouldn’t have chased those flashy secondary tokens. --- Feels like political narrative is the final boss of the meme world—nothing can beat this track. --- Election cycle = infinite life extension. Now I get why every chain is betting on the political play. --- Wait, so is there still a chance if I get into political memes now? Or am I just going to get rekt again? --- Turns out, politics has the strongest “god-making” power. Fan support can’t even compare—these people are the real fanatics.

Political memes are really a bit forced, and this hype cycle is definitely different. This election cycle isn't over yet, sounds like we still need to keep eating. Americans' energy for creating idols is definitely all given to politics now—the logic is kind of wild.

Wait a minute, can political memes really last this long? They all seem like flashes in the pan to me. This wave on SOL is definitely intense, but it still feels like it's riding the hype—what happens when the cycle ends? The whole idolizing thing is real; Americans get into politics the same way we idolize celebrities. I agree that political tokens have a consensus advantage, but let's see if they can last until the next election cycle.

Ha, that's why I haven't touched political coins—they really are resistant to downturns. There's real faith behind political memes, unlike other shitcoins that crash at any moment. Americans are really powerful at "creating idols," and that energy is directly copy-pasted into crypto. Once the election cycle gets going, someone always takes up the baton—brilliant.
