      Just posting this on main for anyone confused by the popularity of politician lipsync TikToks. I think that the audience interested in political TikToks — especially in the UK — is relatively underserved, so the bar is quite low, so they may just be happy for *something*https://twitter.com/sarahmanavis/status/1262694335679733760 …

      I think for a lot of people it helps reveal what politicians are saying more than when they just do it ~in the wild~. The humour/ridiculousness comes through a lot more via a hammed up lipsync (Gen-Z’s version of a John Oliver riff). A lipsync can help crystallise it, essentially

      I also think there's a huge disconnect between what does well on TikTok and what does well on Twitter. A lot of the "viral TikToks" you see on here get relatively low engagement on the actual platform! @sophiasgaler pointed this out re a lot of reporting on TikTok from non-users

          the more journalists that go on TikTok, the less this will happen. But TikTok is chaos for Tweeters. Twitter is for funny people, Instagram is for hot people, and TikTok is for people who are both funny and hot. Absolute disaster

          I always find them hilarious. It helps if the politics is not too icky. And is a lot funnier/more popular when it’s remixed with a beat you can dance to. 😛This one on Aussie Twitter has 48K views.pic.twitter.com/GiDs4Fvqgo
