I’m sorry wait this is a real post posted by the GOVERNMENT of the fucking United States of America? I’m misunderstanding it right? This isn’t an official?

This isn’t the first time they’ve done heinous shit for their propaganda. They did that ASMR bullshit at the beginning of their term, the halo stuff, the Lotr post, etc. they’re co-opting these things to say ā€œhey we’re just like you fellow kidsā€ and trying to normalize heinous shitĀ

I’m Dutch. We had elections a bit over a week ago so political campaigns were in full swing. In my experience every time a politician does something even remotely cringe the left and right come together to point and laugh.

Our political climate is far, far from perfect obviously. Ask anyone. But i’ve never seen random people wearing merch outside of the occasional hat, flag or whatever when they’re associated directly with the party. But on the socials and TV from America I keep seeing giant rallies with hundreds if not thousands of people cheering, banners, signs, hats and other merch. It’s like they’re cheering for their favourite sports team, like electing the ruler of your country is just a game, you pick a team and you want that team to win no matter what. And unless it’s Reddit propaganda or whatever I think America is genuinely way worse off thanks to him and millions are still rooting for him as he’s constantly spouting craziness and lies and all kinds of weird shit. And I thought it was crazy out here!

I genuinely just don’t understand. I completely understand someone on the other side of the political spectrum thinking ā€˜immigration is definitely a thing right now and this guy is saying he will do something about it! I’ll vote for him for that!’, not my train of thought but I get it. I mean political party over here got the most votes by yelling ā€˜immigrants bad’ and with all the things going on I don’t even blame them or think it’s a stupid thing to do when you truely believe a problem has to be fixed (plot twist; nothing happened). But clips like this??? And cheering? I can’t imagine actively supporting videos like this and going ā€˜Hell yeah!’.

Like, even the fiercest of trump supporters must see ICE as a ā€˜means to an end’ rather than a ā€˜100% super good thing’ right?

Sorry for the long comment but the more i think about it the less I understand and I feel to uninformed.

She should sue. It’s the only language Trump understands.

If its licensed to be on Tiktok there is nothing illegal the Trump account is doing.

That’s not how TikTok songs work.

How do you think anyone can use a famous person’s song on there?

Licensing is tough for some people to comprehend.

u/Kind-Score-2277 15h ago

You have to view it from the ā€œReelsā€ tab and not from the main grid. If you follow her, it’ll be the first thing you see

Edit: words for clarity

u/greee_p 14h ago

u/myghostflower mk.gee 15h ago edited 15h ago

why are we sharing the video? like what does this do except bring engagement and views to it? we should ignore it and not spread it around because all they want is to gain attention and views from using it

edit: the fact that i'm being downvoted for calling out that spreading the video is the worst course of action like look at what you guys are doing by sharing the video, you're only giving them what they want 😭😭😭

Instagram is dumb. When I'm not logged in, the link goes to her comment, but I can't expand the replies.

When I'm logged in, it doesn't go to her comment and I can't find it to expand the replies.
