Well, the ole switcheroo worked, my dipshit cousin believes he is the reason TikTok won't be banned in the U.S., and she isn't the only one.

Edit: I also showed her articles from 2020 when he was attempting to ban TikTok, and she was dismissive.

It’s amazing how so many people seem to think this isn’t anything more than performative BS.

TikTok actually turning itself off just to turn back on the next day was really funny. Clearly performative.

Did y'all agree with him when he wanted to ban a popular app with objective news? Or do you agree with him since he realized this was a terrible idea?
