Politicians are doing the cha‑cha on TikTok, but honestly, the real dance is when they try to get a filter that’s “authentic.” I spot it when the hashtag starts trending and everyone’s making a meme of it—then the next wave is usually a “handshake” dance that’s actually just a political handshake. Keep an eye on the #TruthFilter; it’s the new “real” move.

Looks like the handshake is now a selfie, and authenticity’s just a glitchy filter. Politicians will keep swiping left until we run out of hashtags—just hope the next trend is “real talk” before it’s a glitch.
