TikTok is hugely influential, and the younger people they're trying to influence don't read newspapers and don't hang out on X or Instagram (both of which also censor certain political content). https://www.npr.org/2024/03/26/1240737627/meta-limit-politic... https://www.reddit.com/r/OptimistsUnite/comments/1i9zf5u/rco... https://arxiv.org/html/2508.13375v1

I am willing to bet that the vast majority of young people are very much aware of what ICE has been doing. Do you believe otherwise?

Allow me to offer some words of wisdom. If you help building weapons to be used against $currently_designated_bad_people, you can rest assured that given enough time, those weapons will be used against you. I am watching all this with a mild sense of bemusement.

A NYT columnist Jamelle Bouie suggested (in jest) that the next Democrat administration send armed IRS agents to gated communities in Florida, to "investigate tax fraud". But this is exactly why all citizens should be concerned about the infringement of rights happening in Minnesota. If it is allowed without prosecution, you are next.

If you genuinely believe that the Good incident was self-defense and doesn't even warrant a trial, you aren't capable the critical thinking necessary to participate in a lawful society. You are parrot of authority without autonomy.

I said you were right. You might need to go touch grass man. [Edit]: I shouldn't have made the "touch grass" comment. Sorry.

From my read you said something different from what OP said. They voiced that there was a wiping of preference that was noticeable, where you said "it does this all the time." Sure both can describe the same thing, but they don't have to be. Why double down instead of accepting that this time it might be different?
