I hope we can some day return to politics that aren't purely performative in nature.

I do agree with you that politics have become mostly circus without much bread, but I'd say we should never give up on our gift of making light of the hardships.
I mean, dunk as it may be, it's a good one. I'd even go as far as calling it a sick burn and a smart jab!
Edit: plus populism is the playing field now, memes and smartass quips are how you win the base over. I'm not saying I agree with this particular way of going about things, but reality is undeniable nonetheless. We'd be wise to master the tools.

I agree, but at the same time politics thes days are necessarily intertwined with social media and it's culture.

Is that the one that says "give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free"?
Yeah we're not using it.

It was written by the French in the first place unless I misunderstood the history.

Perhaps the statue should be more of a trophy, moved from nation to nation depending on how focused that nation is on creating opportunity for the least among us, how accepting they are of the poor, tired, and broken peoples of the world, how committed they are to escalating the cause of human dignity.

Where else are they going to put the huge, gilded statue of Trump?

Very hard disagree. Hearts and minds.
Dafuq else do you expect a random French opposition member to do? Sit there quietly and look pretty? That seems to be the leading strategy for the US Dems and also an irredeemable dereliction of duty. If you are forced into the opposition, be performative. Be loud. Be ungovernable, if necessary.
It's nice to wish for a world where a fascist regime doesn't have full control of the USA, but unfortunately we don't live in that world so please don't denigrate the work of politicians who at least are doing the bare minimum of saying something about it.
