Its sad to see most of us including journos are playing along in this power game. No one is questioning the basics. And busy in calling out each other instead of those sitting in power.
And that works fine for the rulers.

One such eg of playing along. This man Mr. Goenka, Ex. director if @IndianExpress find its "entertaining". As if a fun game is happening. Democracy is at stake now. This in a way ligitimizes what just happened.

Here is another eg. And here I am only quoting famous people who shape opinions not to mention normal accounts. https://twitter.com/SirPareshRawal/status/1198124083705200641?s=19
Here's another. See the words, "cool double agent, masterful". Aint ligitimizes what's happening all this while. https://twitter.com/BDUTT/status/1198116886820450304?s=19
Not only dis stooge but many so called neutral channels hv been using "Chanakya" for Amit Shah for quite sometime.This further ligitimizes whatever wrong he's been doing all this while & no one questions it Public too calls him that now.Thanks to our media https://twitter.com/gauravcsawant/status/1198085792750395392?s=19
Another one from @republic , i.e MahaMastersroke. Well, nothing else is expected from them. But it fuels the narrative that nothing wrong has happened here. https://twitter.com/republic/status/1198175151738642432?s=20
The recent emergence of meme culture has acted as a shield to all wrong doings. It's take a "bad situation" and makes fun memes out of it. People forget the situation and try to outdo each other in this meme game & the one who wins builds the narrative.
I am culprit too in this
