    My conspiracy theory after perusing tiktok is because there are a number of tiktokers detailing or guessing congress critters trades in almost real time. Thr amount of videos I have seen where it’s “X politician, met with these folks, and are on X committee, I predict he will buy a huge amount of shares” Then when it’s reported like 28 days later, it comes out to be true… so not only are they pointing out their corruption, by giving other people these tips they can follow their trades. I think the Chinese government is ecstatic about these types of videos, and US politicians obviously hate them.

    I try to stay informed about politics, I read a lot, etc. But the amount of new info I have found out on tiktok that sent me down a rabbit hole and ended up being true is crazy…

    I am not saying blindly accept what people say on tiktok… but it’s a good starting point for finding out topics I never would have known about. Like small time corruption scandals that don’t even hit the news.
