Tik Tok Could Save America
Okay I’m exaggerating, but only a little bit. Since trump said he’s banning download of the app on Sunday, I finally downloaded it this morning.
Dang! It made me happy. Made me laugh. Taught me a bit. Made me feel better about the human race.
Flipping through 60 second videos with a simple swipe of the finger is so much more satisfying than falling into the deep dark holes of YouTube or the endless meandering faceless texts of Twitter or the mostly unimaginative simple tribes of FB. Humanity in amazing forms: entertaining with skilled acrobatics, warm happy dances, brief science lessons, humorous cooks, energetic satire, lip synchers and hysterical comic moments. If you feel like you love the human race as a whole, you’ll probably enjoy seeing these creations.
It’s beautiful, creative, inventive, individually expressive, and 16 billion times more entertaining than Donald J Grump. I laughed a LOT and felt GOOD about people.
And for better or worse, it’s like being immersed in the ocean. As I stumbled across random people doing anti-Trump videos, I realized this TikTok thing is a force of nature that would be impossible for trumpies to control. No wonder he wants to make sure it doesn’t spread to his base. The right handful of videos could actually crack the ceiling of their bubble, and light might come streaming in.
If you haven’t tried it, I suggest doing so, sometime before Sunday.

I just want my phone to be a phone, I use my laptop for anything else.
Thanks.
