      Given the way he loves them alternate facts I’m bet that means he got up to 34% of the youth vote, which would be obscenely high in itself but not the ‘win’ he implies.

      Well if Tiktok really is all youngsters, then I could see why he wants it. He has 17+M followers on Tiktok and 13.5M people between 18-24 voted in 2020, and 7M voted in 2022. It’s very possible the vast majority of 18-24 year Olds who voted for him are also tiktok followers.

      I wish I could actually find demographics of his tiktok followers, or tiktok users in general.
