so, the >24 hr "tiktok ban" (aka it was pro-trump propaganda all along)

tiktok was banned yesterday night and is back up and running today. not even a full fuckin 24 hours. pathetic. let's talk about it.


so, trump. you couldn't even make it last a goddamn day? to make it even somewhat believable? did you need to get back to your family guy funny moments minecraft parkour and subway surfers brainrot THAT quickly????????????????

all this happening in less than 24 hours is more than evident that this was nothing but a waste of time, a pr stunt so that trump could be seen as the "savior of tiktok".

if that wasn't enough to convince you, let's revisit the official statements from tiktok. does it not have an odd vibe to you? all the "president trump" this "president trump" that in the official tiktok announcements leading up to & after the ban REEK of not only unprofessionalism, but straight pro-trump propaganda.


 think about it. it's not solely trump who has the power to enact this ban, nor to uplift it. it goes through lots of people in power in the US before it goes to trump. that's called the fucking separation of powers dipshit it came free with your fucking xbox

so it makes you wonder, why are they specifically thanking trump and trump only for uplifting this ban, when absolutely more than one person was involved in this process? hmmm?

smells like pr-pr-pr-PROPAGANDA!!!!!!!!!! 

(cue "the price is right music")

LET US NOT FORGET THAT TRUMP IS THE REASON WHY THIS IDEA OF A BAN WAS PUT INTO EXISTENCE IN THE FIRST PLACE. yes, the idiotic democratic party ultimately put it into motion (they fell for the bait, as per usual), and yes, trump backed out of his anti-tiktok statements while they began putting this into motion. but don't you see how that was clearly an intentional move to make one side look like they are "pro-freedom" and the other side is "controlling of what you watch"? he says one thing that is sure to upset the public, the other party takes the bait and pushes that thing further, then he backs out and reverses that policy in order to have the better image. come on.


AND LET US NOT FORGET THAT RIGHT WING GRIFTERS LIKE CHARLIE KIRK WERE IN SUPPORT OF THE BAN FOR YEARS, AND SUDDENLY TODAY WANNA SAY "trump saved tiktok! thank you so much trump!"


you better be able to see the bullshit that's going on here. if you can't see this for what it is, you're doomed to fall for even more bullshit in the future. so wake up and critically think about what you are digesting on a day to day basis.

It's like living in an upside down world. Wild watching propaganda play out like this in real time. I swear half the people I used to follow are missing too, the fyp is so different and they're censoring so much now.

My random ass conspiracy theory is that he wanted to ban it until Călin Georgescu aka horse guy from Romania got the most votes because of TikTok and now didn't want to ban it to push propaganda because PEOPLE👏 DON'T 👏 FACT👏CHECK👏ANYTHING👏 (ok the first half is a conspiracy theory)

i really thought it would last a day. i knew this shit was sketchy and honestly i wouldnt be surprised if they ended up selling tiktok at one point all together. regardless its soo obvious trump wants us to glaze him so bad its ridiculous. i woke up and it was back like bruh. im glad its currently back but i feel like theyre gonna sell it to whoever and the censorship is gonna be crazy. and in no way will anybody ever catch me thanking trump i cant believe ppl are falling for that too, like u said it was his idea to get rid of it in the first place !! also great post
