In the middle of Donald Trump’s birthday military parade on Saturday night, an activist posted a video on the Meta platform, Threads, announcing that they had received more than a million views on a Tiktok video advertisement to maintain tickets for the Trump Parade event.
The activist had no intention of watching Trump’s rally, nor many of the people who saw their video. But it was one of the dozens of social media users on platforms that started circulating instructions in recent days on how to keep tickets to the rally, even if you had no intention of watching it.
