TikTok

I got on TikTok. Anyone who wants it can find me here . You will think it is to talk to young people, and you will think wrong. The rhetoric of future generations gives me immense annoyance, surpassed only by that caused, in fact, by future generations. I believe that the USAID scandal, once clarified, will allow us to rehabilitate and see in the right perspective a ruler who has undeservedly enjoyed bad press .

The fact is that there is one thing you don't know: today TikTok is the social network for old people!

I noticed this when speaking with an Abruzzo militant at the time of the great scandal caused by the new highway code (by the way, is it talked about anymore? I don't think so. Do you see that when others shout, you just have to hold on?). He asked me for arguments, and I gave them to him. At a certain point, seeing as he was profuse in his thanks, I said: "Sorry, though: these things are on Matteo's social networks, he posted them on Twitter and Facebook, and then Claudio Borghi on Twitter gave a very accurate explanation of what changes and what doesn't change, and explained that these are fake news, and finally the press office made some infographics which I also distributed to you in the regional chat. Now: I'm not saying keep up with all the chats, I'm not saying follow the parliamentarians anymore relevant, I'm not saying follow the parliamentarian of your constituency, but at least Matteo!…"

Answer: "You're right, honour, but I'm not on Twitter because I can't follow it, no one is on Facebook anymore, and my father-in-law told me this false news because he had seen it on TikTok!…"

Reply: "You're better off not being on Twitter, and I promise to put myself on TikTok!"

Promise kept!
