This may be the "red pill" moment for Gen Z.
So who's the President on January 19?
Joe Biden.
He is a member of the Democratic Party.
So on Tuesday, the phones in the Capitol will be swamped and our Representatives will face pressure to do something about this law.
Otherwise, we may see a good number of incumbents lose in 2026. They'll lose in the primaries for being "anti-TikTok".
I think it's going to hurt the Democrats more than the Republicans.
So Trump may persuade Mike Johnson to come up with a new bill to legalize TikTok. Usually Johnson is going to do what Trump tells him to do.
Or maybe that won't happen because the Deep State controls our Elected Officials.
In the meantime, Rednote is the #1 downloaded app on Apple Store. Even though it's another "Chinese App".
What I find ironic is that TikTok truly allows free speech as where most U.S. platforms do not. Maybe this is why the kids like it. And even though they are not discussing it right now, there are quite a few older folks here on the FR who use it probably for the same reason.
All semantics and national arguments aside this is about the bigger picture in whole. And that is we DO NOT need government to put their hooks into the internet in any form or fashion period. Once they do it will be death by a thousand cuts before they are done.
