Sadopopulism is a term popularized by Yale historian Timothy Snyder to describe a form of governance where leaders enact policies that cause pain to their own supporters to foster a sense of shared resentment against a common enemy. In the digital age, this has evolved into a meme format used to critique political tribalism and the phenomenon of 'owning' the opposition at one's own expense. These memes typically depict a person suffering from poor policy decisions but finding solace in the fact that their perceived enemies are also suffering or 'triggered.' It serves as a sharp tool for social commentary on how psychological manipulation and grievance politics can supersede actual policy improvements in modern discourse.
