Amidst America's crude sound-bite-driven politics, the battle around TikTok was reduced to a Sinophobic moral panic, rather than a complex debate about data sovereignty, free speech, the contested definition of "disinformation," and big tech's pioneering use of surveillance as a business model.

Animated by political rage, Musk posted day and night about Trump and the apocalyptic condition of the nation. Displaying all of the media literacy of a man twice his age, he amplified every fact-free conspiracy, every outrageous attempt to demonize trans people or migrants or a minority community.

political realignments provoked by Trumpism + pandemic… On foreign policy it offered a blend of isolationism, Trumpist nationalism, suspicion of the deep state… Domestically, it was mostly a rehash of corporate-friendly Reaganomics w/a pungent disdain for the lower classes…. a welcome embrace to ppl who might have once counted themselves as liberals but now couldn't countenance the sight of homeless encampments
