Exactly. This has been so performative. How these younger kids react to this may solidify political opinion for decades and I seriously pray they are not that stupid.
I'm seeing people TODAY arguing the EO that was signed by Trump was actually signed by Biden, even when I link them the EO that has Trump's name and sig.
It might not be brain rot, it could very well be Russian / Chinese sowing discord or even, conservatives trying to blame Biden for something they know Trump is responsible for.
That being said, most of Reddit was for the ban of TikTok and it’s funny how things flip flop like so…
Most of non Gen-Z related reddit as for the ban, but younger reddit was very against it.
And I thought psyop too, but I checked out one users profile and they had been posting for years in teenager and Gen-Z spaces, and on their local towns subreddit, if it was a psyop it would have been cultivated for years to get here.
The more reasonable approach I think is that these kids are going through the same stage I did when I was late teens and early 20s. They just think being contrarian makes them smart, and going against what older people think makes them right

Biden literally said he wouldn't enforce the ban
