      Yeah, and we have like 0.07% of their reach.

      You can fool some people some time, you can fool some people all the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time.

      Unfortunately, you don’t have to fool all the people all the time, 99.93% of the people most of the time will do just fine. Shit, 51% is plenty enough.

        We like to shit on Tik Tok, but you’re right that their reach is absolutely massive. Recently when Democrats were writing op eds and taking out ads saying that troops should ignore illegal orders, a high ranking member of the military (I forget who) commented that the messaging was ineffective because troops almost universally get their “news” through Tik Tok.
