only Dems in strong seats will support it
and only enough to total 218
Republicans as usual, are the stupid party
This is a damned if you do or damned if you don’t situation.
If you ban Tik Tok, you tick off lots of young people. Most of those young people however, that frequent Tik Tok, wouldn’t vote Pub anyway because 1) they are mindless; 2) they are brainwashed already; 3) they are young and know nothing of the world and those in it that are evil; and 4) they are well on the way to being totalitarian little socialist twits (Mao’s red gangs or Hitler’s brown shirts come to mind) themselves. The votes we will lose I maintain, are ones we most likely wouldn’t get anyway. The properly raised young people won’t be swayed by Tik Tok’s allures in the first place.
On the other hand, if you go ahead with the ban, the Dems will be deprived of young eyeballs, and the news propaganda and the less than subtle brainwashing that would be posted by the Dems continually between now and the 2024 election. It will thus remain unseen. Dems would be deprived of the Tik Tok platform to spew out their political lies and deceptions to further poison our young people’s minds with, which will be a good thing.
I’m for banning Tik Tok. The youth on it are really not our base, and our voters will come from venues other than those who mindlessly waste their lives away on Tik Tok.
The choice as I see it: do you want our youth to be brainwashed and polluted by the Chinese or by the Dems. If Tik Tok is not banned, our youth will be polluted by both. If banned, the young will be polluted by neither, with a risk I maintain, that is slight of youth not voting for Pubs, as most of them wouldn’t vote for Pubs anyway, or won’t vote at all. I suspect it will be no great loss.
Rand Paul, whom I like is, after all, a true Libertarian at heart, and doesn’t see the dangers of Tik Tok through the lens that most Conservatives do. Tik Tok is a dangerous foreign entity, and will, through the Tik Tok medium, continue the corruption of our youth already begun early in their education by the liberal brainwashing permeating our public school educational system in the U.S.
