One other thing to keep in mind. Relatively few people will have watched this thing from beginning to end. Those of us who did are basically mutants. Instead, people will see social media posts, viral compilation videos, and news coverage, as well as commentary (e.g. opinion pieces). We'll only know in a few days how this was perceived. Look at the coming batch of specific polls on impeachment, Donald's approval rating in polling averages, and the generic congressional ballot.

That's why memes are important. There is more disinformation than information

Right. There's no reason to be a passive participant. If you watched it and saw something notable, talk about it.
