The US has had its fair share of foolish moments in politics, but the recent banning and (sort of) unbanning of TikTok may rank as one of the most foolish. This episode perfectly encapsulates the current moment: it’s a prime example of Donald Trump’s showmanship, the Democrats’ incompetence, and the limits of bipartisanship. If I were a TikTok teen, I’d come up with some sort of experimental dance to illustrate these themes, but I’m old and completely devoid of rhythm, so words will have to suffice.
