Call me crazy but this feels all like a plan to push the Maga movement, first the "bad democrats" take away the "lovely" tiktok, then "good" trump brings back the beloved "noncensorship" tiktok because he "loves" freedom of speech or smth.

But trump is the one who started the movement to ban it when he was president the first time!

No one will remember that since it happened prior to last week.

I don't really think that's the case. I mean, the democrats are idiots, sure, but why would they take part in the scheme when they know Trumps followers wanna line them up against the wall?

Because the Republicans tied aid to Ukraine to the Tik Tok ban. Democrats were forced to vote for it to continue to prevent the fall of a country fighting off an invasion.

He literally was the president at the time and he was the one that pushed for the ban. It's a matter of public record, not that that really matters anymore.

I don't know why the Dems keep shooting themselves in the foot to further Republican goals but they seem to be pretty good at it.

[–] Letme@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Because the Democrat politicians hold all the same stocks as the Republicans
