[Jayhawker Soule]

I'm not a big fan of her politics, but she is head and shoulders above the rest of the GOP field.

As for Ramaswamy, Haley nailed it! See, for example, here.

It's hilarious to me that these people think TikTok is a national security threat though.

"people" is a pretty broad category as is "national security." That said, have you read the Wikipedia > TikTok entry?

TikTok may not be the prime weapon in the arsenal of China's Ministry of State Security, but nor does it impress me as politically healthy social media.

I haven't. I did read summaries of the CEO's testimony before Congress earlier this year.

Conservative media relies on fear and paranoia to manipulate their base. Conservative voters are easily manipulated when they are fearful.
The Republican elitists understand this psychological flaw and exploit it for votes and $$.
Turn on Fox right now, they're scaring the elderly audience 24/7 (mostly at night with the 'personalities')

Fear and Anxiety Drive Conservatives' Political Attitudes

Conservatives and liberals don’t just have different outlooks and opinions. They may also have different brains.

Fox is always playing on one of the TVs at my gym. I often go when Jesse Watters or Gutfeld are on. Their spin is wild. I watch and think, "Who buys this ****?"

One would be surprised at how much Intel can be gleaned from a Communist owned social media platform.
