....which in 99% of all cases should scare me, but he is right here. On my "reflections", I made this point:
Power of New/Independent Media: Embracing the TikTok era - Trump "got out the vote" because he was relentlessly on social media and then tied into all of the new media sources like Ben S., like Megan K., like Rogan., etc. etc. No longer was this working through the legacy media hegemony of Fox, CNN, etc. DJTjr was brilliant on TikTok. Quietly got out - in droves, the bro vote without knocking on a single door. Brilliant.
He was on CNN and said that the Democrats got "destroyed" and "outhought, outplayed, outflanked" as Democrats were doing their traditional door knocking hitting a voter perhaps once for 10 seconds, when social media (like this) is driving engagement 24 (ok, more like 18 as we have to sleep) hours a day, 7 days a week.
Van Jones is right. The person who first saw the power of TikTok was DJT, Trump trusted his oldest son, and it worked.
This is also what happens when you "cancel culture" people out of traditional media. Megyn is more powerful now than she has ever been. Bari Weiss. The list goes on and on.
