Part of the reason they voted for Trump was because they were afraid of a TikTok ban. TikTok is now Fox News for zoomers.

is because Dems voted for the

ban. Dems were duped by the GOPs and AIPAC who were threatened by the street reporting on GOP legislatures and the slaughter in GAZA.

Dems ceded the ground in radio, television, and now, social media.

Inept hand wringing and pearl clutching over "security concerns" while handing the control to racists and fascists.

For their own reasons, Dems wanted a ban while the genocide was unfolding with US arms. Bad decisions, unintended consequences...

Get AIPAC influence out of the Democratic Party.

Without Trump initiating the push to ban TikTok during his first term, it would have never been an issue to begin with. Young voters were the ones that got played by Trump and Netanyahu. And we gave them ample warnings, in real time, about the charade that was going on.

Someone once said "young folks laughed at their grandparents getting brainwashed by Facebook -- and then TikTok came along..."

EDIT - FURTHERMORE, more Democrats voted against the TikTok ban than Republicans. And the only reason it even came to a vote was because House Republicans attached it to a more important bill that included, among other things, Ukraine funding that needed to be passed.

But any young voter that couldn't see through the stunt and chose to punish Democrats for the actions of Trump and Netanyahu because they didn't believe us, well, hope you enjoy Trump Gaza #1 and TikTok being bought by rightwing fascists that Trump personally gave his sign off to as it turns into what Musk turned Twitter into

As a consolation prize, enjoy the extra tens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt thanks to Trump Republicans overturning Biden's cancellation and repayment plans. And the hundreds of extra dollars we will need to pay for health insurance now that Republicans cut taxes for billionaires and used ACA subsidies to pay for it. Assuming you and your family hasn't already been deported by MAGA goons yet...

This is the combined total for the House (the vote called by Republicans to attach the TikTok ban to a bill that had nothing to do with that issue) and the Senate (voting to approve the comprehensive bill that House Republicans attached the TikTok ban to).

And when you combine the votes in both the House and Senate, the votes I listed were the votes that were cast.

Hopefully the people who were clamoring for TikTok to be regulated and spun off from Chinese "control" can take this as a lesson - Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it and get it delivered by a Leopard to boot.
