If you get news primarly from Tiktok you are ill-informed and should reconsider your information diet.

Oh man have I got some bad news for you

I though TikTok algorithm won't let you choose what to find.

And if their lives weren't a end stage capitalist hell scape those news would have as much effect as Radio Moscow did during the cold war.

So, in summary, you believe that since the USA is on its way down, it should not bother fighting back anymore?

You might have a point, though. With the new administration and its explicit focus on short term populism, it’s hard to stand up for anything.

In summary the Us government should spend its time improving the lives of Americans, and not find better ways to lie them about the quality of their lives.
