with the banning of #TikTok i have to, yet again, remind all the partisan Democrats:
1. the mythical WHITE Silent Majority is as real as the weight loss from these pills Betsey Devos told me i could become a millionaire selling them to you
2. Democrats have been consistently losing the white demo since the 1990s but for the Obama blip.
3. the base is neither black or white but BROWN: very Latin@ and So. Asian —and south-east Asians are poised to overtake Latinos the next decade... 🧵

4. Gen Z / Zoomers are the first majority minority generation. with Zillennials, they are the largest block of first time voters to hit polls this November.
look, am not pulling this out of my ass. Pew Research has the most solid data on demographics in the USA. go read the articles i compiled for y'all:

so i will keep on saying this:
DEMOCRATS
CANNOT WIN
WITHOUT
ZOOMERS &
ZILLENNIALS
do not let billionaires push Democrats into fascism-lite
DON'T FUCK IT UP.

ALSO
#TikTok is a "national security" threat because #USGov cannot compel them into spying on you and me, the way #Google #Facebook #Twitter #Tesla #Apple #Verizon #TMobile #ATT #Uber #Paypal #Disney #Palantir and all the companies controlled by the #techbros oligarchy do.
all techbro companies are para-military agencies. techbros are one mustache away from Springtime for Hitler; gleefully spying on you & me for the #ACAB state.
wanna ban TikTok? criminalize #surveillanceCapitalism.

@blogdiva to specifically regulate TikTok while ignoring the behavior of literally every profit-driven company that sells anything related to computers whatsoever is nothing more than baldfaced xenophobia and racism.

@bamboombibbitybop @blogdiva tbh there are very good reasons to consider regulating tiktok. And reels. And Shorts. And YouTube, Google, Facebook, Instagram, to name a few.

@FunkETown @blogdiva Yes, I agree that all of those deserve regulation. My point is they are *specifically* targeting the Chinese one on the grounds that it is Chinese.
yes, it's me, liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦
LOOK, if USA's military industrial complex had any possibility of controlling the Chinese government, they wouldn't give a rats' ass.
this is about STOKING xenophobia, not because the GOP & Democratic Party kleptocrats started hating on Chinese billionaires.
this piece of legislation been pushed for years by Google & Facebook. this is about them getting rid of the competition —while still taking money from China to spy on & censor dissidents with their apps.

@blogdiva This is probably only half of the story. All those techbro companies have seriously enshittet their products, and can't stand competition anymore (except with each other's totally shit products). So “national security” is the lame bullshit excuse for “please, let us become monopolists”.
When Huawei became too successful, it was also framed as national security concern. Not only the 5G infrastructure, but also their smartphones, which simply can't be one at all.
