lmao they went as far as SUMMONING them to spam white supremacists hashtags:

Our Anonymous K-Pop division is now attacking the #BlueLivesMatter hashtag.

Wtf is that word salad from Cher?

Anyway, these Kpop kids really doing all the heavy lifting in this election year, bless them.

Cher's tweets always require a decoder ring and a psychic link to the underworld to interpret.

[inwazyja]

I think she’s on our side. Probably.

[xorogueox]

The heavy lifting is voting. This is funny and all, but it’s meaningless unless we work towards making change.

Gen Z is the hero we need right now.

[cbluechicken]

tbh, the one glimmmer of hope in this world is working with Gen Z kids. They know the world is shit, something needs to happen, and aren't afraid to do it. Also, they are learning and thinking very differently (in a positive direction). It's easy to be cynical but tbh, I see so many changes every single day.

IDK in my experience gen z kids are conservative as fuck. They also use homophobic slurs and the N word like it's 1962.

[queer_bee]

I live in NY so most of the gen z kids I encounter are progressive and surprisingly smart about societal issues... But I won’t be surprised if the gen z kids in the midwest are exactly as you described.

This made me so happy but at the same time I'm trying not to be too gleeful cos u know he'll come right back and win the election... but it's so hard.

Oh and it's so annoying to see ppl falling over themselves to give kpop stans credit for what exactly? For requesting free tickets? When this is something people have been doing the whole time. That's not what stopped him from having a full arena... ppl are out there like YOU SAVED LIVES, lmao no?

[tsarinakate1]

It is really annoying honestly. People have been doing this for his rallies for the last few years. It doesn't give you a real ticket, it doesn't stop his real fans from going there and getting in, and allows his campaign to say rhey had big numbers if people who wanted to be there. There's no actual evidence this prevented him from filling the place. This is credit for a relatively empty gesture

[maclou]

Exactly! I mean the only thing it gave us was that MAYBE for a bit his campaign people truly believed they'd have many more people, them putting the outdoor stage out only to have to take it down cos there were no one out there to speak to was pretty hilarious but realistically the campaign was going to lie about how many supporters were coming/were there anyway...

[gumby]

Can you explain this? I'm sure some hardcore fans will always go, but if I'm trying to register for a ticket, and I can't, I'm going to assume there are no more spaces and that's going to deter me from going. Not disagreeing with you, I just don't understand how this whole thing works.
