Trump is following through with his promise to ban TikTok, which seems like a great way to alienate the youth vote, and motivate some to actively vote against him so close to an election, no?

This could still change if Trump decides to change it, but the horse is out of the barn on his autocratic intentions. “Look, I could have ended TikTok but decided not to!” is a terrible argument.

Whose vote does this gain? Nobody's.

Whose vote does this lose? Plenty of young people's.

Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Nebraska) gave one of the all-time worst high school commencement speeches, in which he (three times) blamed China for COVID-19, joked about Tiger King for cool-dad cred, and all but called new graduate wimps incapable of withstanding old-school gym-class tasks. His sarcasm is such a downer, it's unreal.

What I find most interesting in his words is the underlying tone — it's horribly poorly delivered, tone-deaf comedy, but the message is loud and clear that science is lame, Big Pharma is your friend and China is the reason we're suffering (not Americans' inability to give up haircuts and parties and Trump's policy of YOLO) ...
