**Intro:** Washington D.C. is where policy meets parody. Lawmakers are worried TikTok is a national security threat—while posting their own ‘Renegade’ videos.
**Overview:** TikTok isn’t just shaping culture—it’s shaping policy. Pew Research shows 32% of Americans under 30 get political news from TikTok. That’s terrifying and hilarious.
**Body:**
– **Lobbying Power:** ByteDance spent $7.4M on lobbying in 2024. That’s more than some campaigns spend on yard signs.
– **Meme Consultants:** Politicians now hire meme strategists. Imagine a senator asking, ‘Is this dance bipartisan?’
– **Filibuster Meets For You Page:** Picture a senator pausing mid-filibuster to check their trending sounds.
– **Campaign Ads as ASMR:** Candidates whispering tax reform into microphones for Gen Z votes.
**Comedic Bits:**
– TikTok influencers now host voter registration drives—while lip-syncing to Doja Cat.
– Political debates could soon include a TikTok dance-off.
**SEO Strategy:** DMV keywords like ‘D.C. politics TikTok,’ ‘Maryland elections social media,’ and ‘Virginia lobbying trends.’
**Punchline:** If democracy dies, at least it’ll have a killer soundtrack.
**Closing:** TikTok isn’t just shaping culture—it’s shaping policy. And your senator’s dance moves.
