    The US government works for the billionaires that run the economy. Many billionaires want to buy tiktok. In fact, there’s already teams of people set up for buying out tiktok. The government is just the tool for the hostile acquisition. No one said the US government is directly purchasing tiktok.

        They’re not at all opposing forces. Some billionaires are in competition with each other and political parties are tools at certain billionaires disposal.

        The act of taxing income is but one political mechanism used to influence the power of some billionaires over another.

            I’m not sure I understand your question. They are both pro-government. If any one human could be the personification of government, it would be the President of the United States.
