yes, all of the democrats’ problems are being caused by chinese propaganda on tiktok. the people running the show really do seem to believe this to varying degrees

no yeah i meant the government is actually going to ban tiktok out of senile yellow-peril paranoia six months before the election, turning millions of young voters even more against the party in power than they already are.

good thing they'll keep a lock on the votes from those *checks notes* middle-aged zionists who think that hamas tiktok superstars are the most dangerous force in the world.

the republicans will absolutely capitalize on GRAMPA JOE KILLED YOUR SOCIAL LIFE too.

Dems don't want to win. They want to turn the White House back over to Trump so they can ride that fundraising wave from 2016-2020.

Joe couldn't have done a better job getting Trump back in the White House were he working from a playbook written for him by the GOP.

They also seem to think all of Trump's stuff about getting revenge and putting "leftists" in camps are just talk, and they're going to be very surprised come January 2025 when he starts his revenge tour. The responsible adults in the room that kept him from acting out last time won't be around.

The US has every reason to ban tiktok the only reason it's odd is because they've had the same reasons to cut off a ton of other Chinese companies and they didn't do anything until teenagers were having fun.

I think the issue is that american companies are upset, not that there's a national security reason to ban tiktok. I mean, I can go buy the data collected by my car, facebook, etc. The data is all available for sale to anyone who will pay.

this is not about the perfidious chinese deep state stealing our precious user data, that’s just the excuse. my best guess is they just aren’t willing to play ball with us soft power trying to influence their editorial direction [aka “the algorithm”] and the crusty old weirdos in charge of everything are very uncomfortable with that given its reach among young people

the majority of the people who voted for the bill in the house were republicans, so i dunno if you'll see a lot of republicans running on "biden banned tiktok" because they hate it too

the question is whether they have any understanding of whether trump would be better or worse (hint it’s the second one and I’m pretty sure that an awful lot of people understand that, though not as many as need to)
