Am I the only one who thinks it’s incredibly strange that the White House is drafting Tik Tok stars to do their bidding? Asking for a friend?
Is it possible that the Biden administration is using this platform and its predominantly-left sided influencers to indoctrinate their message into America's youth? I think so.
According to Statista, approximately 25% of Tik Tok users are in the 10-19 age demographic, while approximately 22.4% are in the 20-29 age bracket. President Biden’s administration has been purposefully targeting America’s youth through this popular social media platform by recruiting influencers to promote their platform of COVID-19 vaccinations and blaming Russian leader Vladimir Putin for the ever-rising gas prices in the U.S.
In August 2021, the White House announced a collaboration with Tik Tok star, Benny Drama, to make short skits of the influencer acting as press secretary, Jen Psaki’s, intern in hopes of prompting young people to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Also in July 2021, popular singer, Olivia Rodrigo, visited the White House to do a “press conference” praising Biden and Fauci for the work they have done in getting Americans vaccinated.
March 14, the White House announced yet another plot to indoctrinate young people through the media. They hosted a Zoom meeting with about 30 influencers to encourage them to promote the claim that the blame for the nationwide gas price increase falls solely on Vladimir Putin and his invasion of Ukraine. Days later, according to Fox News, viral Tik-Tocker, Ellie Zeiler, posted a video intended to answer the age-old question: ‘why are gas prices so expensive?’ She continued to explain in a clearly scripted answer that because of Putin’s horrific invasion of Ukraine, and the fact that Russia is the third most abundant producer of oil in the world, nobody wants to associate with Russia through trade.
Now I will say, we shouldn’t be collaborating with Russia and associating ourselves with Putin, but that is no excuse for the sky-high gas prices. The recent invasion of Ukraine was without a doubt horrific and Russia needs to be stopped and face the consequences of their actions. But even so, the reason for our gas crisis falls on Biden’s shoulders because of his motion to shut down the Keystone XL pipeline on his first day in office.
Some may call it expert marketing or reaching a target demographic; I call it plain stupidity and indoctrination. Employing influencers to push a political agenda onto impressionable youth is setting them up for brainwashing. If that is the only narrative that children are exposed to, how will they ever learn to formulate their own opinions? They will live the rest of their lives on the ‘monkey see, monkey do’ mentality. And with big corporations and social media platforms ‘canceling’ right-wing voices in an attempt to silence their opinions, they are intentionally stopping any roadblocks to their plan for absolute power.
Republicans stand in the way of Democrats taking over the country and vice versa, but the difference is that Democrats are enforcing a blind trust that will undoubtedly lead our country down the wrong path.
