When I think of the TikTok ban two things spring immediately to mind:

1. It's always projection and if they're worried about the what the Chinese government is doing to its social media apps then I'm worried about what our intelligence agencies are doing to ours
2. Obviously this is because it's a place where people can actually hear and see what's going on outside of the censorship regime of the west and that's unacceptable

I hear this one all the time and it never makes any sense to me. Sure, people have been talking about Gaza on Tiktok in a way they probably couldn't on other platforms, but it's not like public opinion moves the policy needle in any way so why would they care?

because they lost control of the narrative and israel's propaganda fell entirely flat

they're also losing people left and right and by they i mean the dems genocide apparently is not very popular

I feel like if this was something to be troubled about then Israel would have been hemmed in in some way. The genocide has just been allowed to continue regardless if the plebs are saying it's bad. Voters have no levers of power to affect any policy change so if anything it would make more sense to stop pretending and just go mask off rather than try to ban a social media platform.

i mean yeah we have a fanatical zionist freak as president whos entirely delusional and believes people love him but its still working at minimum with more and more people calling for a ceasefire, and they are making GBS threads their pants over losing in november, they are being hemmed internationally, obviously it would be great if this was way faster.

nope, Boeing wasn't finished questioning his testimony so I'm afraid it's incomplete and therefore invalid. to allow his very specific and well documented testimony to stand would irreparably harm the rights of Boeing, which has personhood and cannot be violated you red scum

One thing that differentiates republicans from democrats is that the republicans are quite used to public opposition to their policies and they genuinely don't care what the public thinks or wants. I don't believe democrats are like this. For some reason they need to be viewed as by the people they're making GBS threads on as the Good Guys making Hard Choices and I think they view active dissent on the ground by "their people" as an existential threat which is another reason they hate the left. They simply cannot abide progressives on a platform they can't censor making them out to be the enemy even if there's no policy difference.

I think the reason for this distinction comes back to the fact that republicans are a party trying to accomplish ideological goals through political means and democrats aren't. Democrats are a fundraising apparatus that uses progressive and liberal branding. If all you have is the brand association you cannot allow a counternarrative to persist that it's all a lie.

I think that's dead-on. Bad optics and leftist dissent hurt their brand and their core message of delivering incremental change through rational but moral actions. The GOP is all about wielding power using leverage to go directly after what they want, right now, regardless of the press or public pressure. Which is why they've been 10x as effective.

It's one of the few things that will still get under my skin from seeing dumbass Biden defenders in the wild. They'll say something like, oh the Republicans are in such a mess they couldn't even pick a speaker. And it's like, yeah, they were slightly embarrassed in the press for a couple of days and a radical wing of the party got a bunch of poo poo that they wanted. And no one normal cared and it didn't materially hurt them. Same thing with the tea party or a bunch of other stunts. It gets treated as dumb, pointless and chaotic but then you look and they pretty much won. So...

It's pointless to fret about, because liberals are just as brainwashed as the wackiest Trump supporter. They purely perceive politics as, well, a "culture war." They just want to win against the people they don't like, whether it's those dumb bible-thumpers, vapid reality-TV watchers, or whoever they personally dislike.
