I blame TikTok for what’s happening to America

I know several Trump supporters. I have asked each of them why they voted for Trump. Every single one of them said TikTok showed them how “evil” and “stupid” Democrats were.

They received constant, misinformation that was anti-dem and pro-Trump over the course of a year and its skewed their perception of reality in a way that has completely boggled me. Every single person I’ve spoken to about Trump’s actions have expressed some form of regret for their support of him and had no idea he was capable of doing this. Meanwhile, others of us have seen it the entire time. I genuinely think people over relied on TikTok, which is known for its misinformation and confirmation bias algorithm, when choosing who to vote for.

I would really like to see a study done on Tik Tok’s algorithm and the impact it has on democracy.
