I agree, but this is just tiktok in America. Everywhere else, users remain on the global version.
'America is fucked' because this comes alongside everything else - control of the media, control of all branches of government, building the paramilitary Gestapo (ICE) etc. The whole western world is at risk but America is further down the road.
