cm0002Would be hilarious if it backfires with GenZ
jubilationtcornponeI suspect your optimism is unwarranted. My teenager is already talking about people posting about Trump saving TikTok. Trump & Co are a bunch of morons but everything they do rests on the premise that the American public are even bigger morons.
Personally, I blame Ivana. Without her, the Trump organization would probably have failed outright in the 80’s and Donny would be in a nursing home trying to convince a dust mop that he’s the richest bestest boy ever instead of grifting away while he helps sink the entire country.
Getting in behind this was a massive own-goal for the Democrats. No matter what legitimate arguments there were for getting rid of Tiktok, the political cost was always going to be too high for the actual benefits. Especially when American social media companies like Twitter and Facebook are actively working to destroy American democracy. Comparatively speaking, Tiktok was far less of a threat.
Ban was bipartisan. Supreme Court upheld it. Biden said he wasn’t going to enforce it. Trump says he is giving 90 day period for them to divest, with the possibility of making it partially state owned. Whole situation is stupid, but almost all on repubs.
Trump is literally winning GenZ with everyone I’ve talked to.
Your meme is bad and echo chambery
The Dems walked into this rake deliberately and willingly. They claimed the credit for it themselves.
PugJesusIt won’t backfire. Propaganda works. That’s why Tiktok was so important in the first place.

Franklinthanks I hate the English language
Native english speaker here, disagree completely.
English is much more flexible about word and root combinations than people give it credit for.

Disagree all you want, still wrong.
Of course China loves Trump. He’s weakening American power around the world, which China will take.
Taiwan lookin mighty tasty right now.
Philippines might be back on the menu, soon.
Unfortunately, Gen Z appear to be set to become the new Hitler Youth.
I think it’s less about trying to propagandize to the users and more about trying to appeal to Trump’s ego.
