Maybe, if that's your only goal.
Trying to make any sort of nuanced or subtle point about anything important is pretty much impossible in such an artificially limited format, though.
Sure, simple political memes can be done in a compact frame, but actually discussing the framework surrounding that meme, or trying to correct a bit of misinformation is not really possible to do under those same limitations of time or character count.

How many other examples would you like?
you're missing my point that there are many things in life that don't require several hours of context and nuance. And those things aren't automatically invaluable because they don't require much time to grasp and move on.
For example, a one-panel comic may only take a few moments to parse and enjoy. Does that mean it can only be enjoyed by those "with short attention spans"? Does that mean its value is inherently less?
