POV: TikTok just went dark & my sister is a 911 operator in Indiana 💀

"Hello 911? Yes I'd like to report a crime. Someone stole my tik toks, and now i have to spend time with my spouse I feel scared."

Not the “Red state behavior” lmao 😭😭😭

Sounds like folks in my town. They call 911 to ask when halloween is celebrated if the 31st falls on a weekday.

This is for those of you, especially younger voters, who are mad at the Democrats right now. Trump started the TikTok ban, and now TikTok is claiming to work with his administration to make Democrats look bad, even though Biden just signed a bipartisan bill that Trump set in motion. This is political theater. Meanwhile, Republicans oppose real help for the lower class, like raising the minimum wage, which has been stuck at $7.25 since 2009. Don’t fall for the spin. Look at their voting records

This is for those of you, especially younger voters, who feel mad at the Democrats right now. This shows how easily people are manipulated into thinking they’re under attack. Everyone’s mad at Biden, but let’s not forget that Trump started the TikTok ban. Now TikTok is saying, ‘We’re working with the Trump administration,’ to make people angrier at Democrats and love Trump, even though he’s the one who created this mess in the first place.

For context, the White House called TikTok’s ‘we’ll go dark Sunday’ statement a stunt, pointing out there was no need for action until Trump’s term ended. The Supreme Court upheld the ban unless ByteDance sells TikTok. This isn’t about freedom of speech. It’s political theater designed to manipulate people.

The bipartisan bill banning TikTok did have widespread Congressional support and was signed by Biden, but the controversy started under Trump in 2020 when he signed an executive order targeting ByteDance over national security concerns. That move set the stage for the bipartisan bill Biden later signed. Both administrations played a role in this, so it’s not as one-sided as people think.

I also believe Trump played Biden here, just like he did in Afghanistan, where Biden ended up taking all the blame for the fallout. Remember when Biden tried to pass an immigration bill that even Republicans supported, but Trump told them to vote against it so he could take credit later if he became president? TikTok’s timing on banning itself during Biden’s term feels like another setup to make Trump look like a savior while Biden gets the blame. Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress often act like Trump’s loyal followers, and this is all part of the same playbook.

And while we’re on the topic, let’s talk about how the Republican Party consistently opposes policies that could actually help working-class Americans. The federal minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 since 2009. When Democrats pushed for a $15 minimum wage as part of the COVID relief bill in 2021, every single Republican senator voted against it. Republicans claim to be pro-working class, but their policies prioritize tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy while ignoring the struggles of low-income Americans.

I’m not saying Democrats are perfect, but falling for Republican rhetoric without looking at their voting records isn’t the move. If I can plant the idea that Republicans aren’t for the lower class, I’m okay with that. Wake up.”

911 I have depression now

Legit question but shouldn't those people be held liable for wasting their time?
