And just like *that* millions of young Americans easily became pro-Trump in one night.

Exactly

Hopefully they're careful who they fall in line for. Hopefully their hours spent on TT weren't a substitute for history class... 😒

krubner.bsky.social•35 days ago

Doesn't matter. They'll have 4 years to learn how to hate Trump.

djk1997.bsky.social•35 days ago

We Dems have the street skills I ever seen. I got to hand it trump and the repubs they know how to milk and take advantage of negative situations to make themselves look good. Dems were too nice and docile. Now all of America will pay the price

And just like that... solving this "crisis" is now more important than inflation

alexander-cs.bsky.social•35 days ago

I think it's called tiktok youth camp.

mattcrompton.bsky.social•35 days ago

I think this will be long forgotten before March nevermind the next voting period

vegassteve702.bsky.social•35 days ago

By Tuesday

m-i-c-h-e-l-l-e.bsky.social•35 days ago

Not when 7 million people are making money on it

mattcrompton.bsky.social•35 days ago

I’m running under the assumption it will just be re-instated

m-i-c-h-e-l-l-e.bsky.social•35 days ago

They are still talking about Trumps stimulus checks. He and his social media bros won't let it be forgotten. Everyday we will hear it for 4 years. 😆 🤣

mattcrompton.bsky.social•35 days ago

Is anyone but Biden really talking about that though? I know he regrets not doing the same but I don’t think it moved the political needle.

All by design. We are fucked

Doubtful we become pro trumpers but democrats are in boiling hot water right now for sure

dflannery.bsky.social•35 days ago

Yup. He gets to swoop in and save the day.

theinternet1.bsky.social•35 days ago

Absolutely not, we need to remind these idiots who started this bullshit in the first place.

Not all young people are idiots. Something better and newer will replace TikTok as it becomes propaganda here for the Trump administration. Trump set the ban in motion years ago. Republicans rallied against TikTok like they used to rally against Russia. Will be fun to see them suddenly embrace It.

sousleradar.bsky.social•35 days ago

As designed

alexhawkins.bsky.social•35 days ago

Republicans: “BOARDER BOARDER BOARDER, NATIONAL SECURITY!!!”

Also republicans: National Security issues and foreign influence of an entire generation… ?

ashcirca1969.bsky.social•35 days ago

Not me.

quazy1.bsky.social•35 days ago

The same Trump and Maga who fought to outlaw student loan forgiveness. But they won't remember that. Too busy posting Reels

thechrisbenson.bsky.social•35 days ago

Exactly! The feds ARE right: it’s a threat. And for more than one reason.

jlo2nfro.bsky.social•35 days ago

I don’t think you’re giving young Americans enough credit. They can easily see what’s going on.

thechrisbenson.bsky.social•35 days ago

I *want* to believe you. lol. Very much so.

jlo2nfro.bsky.social•35 days ago

From what I’m seeing they are ALL fully aware of this massive propaganda prank - you’d have to be blind not to see it!

mothership1113.bsky.social•35 days ago

If they're going to the dark side, I'm off that f' ing platform.

lena-maria.bsky.social•35 days ago

Give young people some credit. They can separate one act from an entire life. They also know TT isn’t going to be the same when it comes back.

tenord.bsky.social•35 days ago

Plenty of Gen Z folk see right through these power plays.

thechrisbenson.bsky.social•35 days ago

Ya but not a majority (I would bet).

tenord.bsky.social•35 days ago

You may be right. But a slim majority of Zoomers voted Harris, not Trump, regardless of what Trump claims. Every generation is prone to confirmation bias.

m-i-c-h-e-l-l-e.bsky.social•35 days ago

Exactly. This is not good for Democrats at all.

dadjoke8467.bsky.social•35 days ago

Feels like this was the plan all along

everythingisawful.bsky.social•35 days ago

I want TikTok back but not if it means praising Trump.
