They're trying to turn it into truth social. I want to say people won't fall for it, but I'm sure some will

    Most probably don't care or don't know, and hence, will fall for it.

    That's why this is so terrifying. Twitter at least had a politically engaged userbase, so people noticed the changes. Tiktok users get political content only incidentally, and has far fewer actual journalists. They are going to get manipulated beyond reason.
