“A thing about campaigns is sometimes you just do things for the lolz,” Rob Flaherty, a deputy Biden campaign manager, wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, of the decision to join Truth Social.

This guy knows what's up.

- Rob is right around my age and the millennial influence is obvious. The progressive millennials have always ran circles around their foolish republican counterparts. The memery and clowning on silly republican bullshit is effortless. When it comes to social media the right loses every time.
  
  No clearer evidence of that then let’s go Brandon. A true honest to god meme that the right got handed naturally. They lost their shit and beat it to death. I literally saw some loser in head to toe let’s go Brandon clothes.
  
  Of course it got co-opted into Dark Brandon and they ended up only improving bidens image.
  
  I hate that we even have to talk about political meme strategies but here we are. And there’s no one better than the dead inside chronically suicidal for the lulz millennials to lead the change.
  
  Let them clown on the right. They deserve it.

  The Brandon chant is proof that the right can't meme. The left literally out-memed their boomer humor at their own game. Lol

  Political memes are nothing new. "I like Ike" is as much a meme as dark Brandon.

I'm interested to see if he gets banned from truth social.

- I think ToS said you can't criticize ol' Donnie D
  
  So it'll be interesting

  If he gets banned it will be great for shutting down my dad when he pipes up about free speech

  Does it actually say that?

Biden’s gotta be trolling him.

- That's exactly why they joined. They said "Converts welcome" and showed video clips of Trump being more of a dumbass than normal.

Hahaha that's hilarious. Good move.

I wonder if they'll be able to flag things as hate speech violations, and force the platform to take action against its own members..

29
- As in, flagging posts that aren't hate speech? Because I thought the hate was the point of the site.

I hope the staffer running the account has a good therapist. It could be quite harmful to deal with that much stupidity.

I mean just imagine if even one person changes their vote to Democrat based on something they read on truth social, it would all be worth it.

Might as well have a little fun before it goes under.

I wonder how many democrats use that platform.

10
- At least one.
