The tiktok thing did nothing. There wasn't a limit on tickets. All they did was give free data.
The majority of people, despite what they may say on social media, don't want to get covid19. Only the most diehard and brainwashed went to this thing. Many who will vote Trump stayed home because they believe the scientists.
Our issue is that they support Trump for a variety of other reasons.

I would guess a lot of the social media posts proclaiming "hoax" and similar messages are Russian Trollbots. Nevertheless, they are working, as it seems compliance with masks especially and social distancing is weak.
Be Bold!

If all the TikTok people did was give the Trump team false confidence and set up the disappointment, job well done. In addition, though, they showed the Trump team how social media can be used against them.

Don't know the degree to which this Shor stuff is true, but if it is, that is really disappointing. It is a shame because Civis has been putting out some neat time series data on a bunch of shit.
If people there need to promise not to commit thought crimes or go against Truth then it's really hard to take their data seriously.
Thank you for this, it is a good read. I am a committed lefty but I still think it's valuable to ask ourselves questions constantly, particularly when it comes to questions of solidifying orthodoxies, and this is a good example of that.

That's a hell of a spin.
@mkraju
Chad Wolf, acting Homeland Security secretary, says on CBS that Trump’s comments about asking his aides to slow down covid testing was him expressing “frustration” because the press and others focus on new cases and not the increase in testing across country

Blows my mind that the president of the United States can get trolled by random people on the internet into thinking a million people wanted to come to his rally in Tulsa Oklahoma in the middle of a pandemic.
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.
