    This is what I am being told by every lib on the Discord servers I am in.

    EDIT: They like to repeat the gotcha of when it takes place like its some sort of master move.

      Oh thank god, it won’t affect the next election, the most important election of our lives. But I fear the consequences of alienating the youth for the election after, the most important election of our lives

      I clearly remember Dems parading the youth vote as key for Obama winning, and for 2018’s marginal D wins. They really must think people forget within 2 years.

        To be frank I don’t think a lot of people do remember literally two years ago in this stupid country. One year is pushing it.

      If Trump wins the election I’d bet my left toe that he drops the ban. It’s literally free political points in the young demographic, which keeps the GOP off his back.

        maybe-later-kiddo but presidents aren’t kings! They can’t just do things people want. It would take an act of Congress. What’s that? Congress is friendly to the trump administration? What’s that? Trump unbanned tiktok thirty seconds after taking the oath of office? Obviously he’s double mecha Hitler because he did this very popular thing!
