    Who watches this slop? I just… why. There are so many good books, movies, tv shows, whatever. Stop watching slop.

        I just mean it’s not surprising in terms of how the general populace enjoys watching garbage

    People are really dumb and will watch anything.

    Where are the AI videos with wild claims about Trump? They don’t even need to be wild claims just AI videos of things he’s done. People will fucking watch them and we can manipulate them. We need to use the lemmings.

    The high road has been destroyed, only the low road remains.

      The man has done more than plenty without making junk up. Taking this approach just will not change minds or help anyone, if reality hasn’t done it fiction certainly won’t.

      I sympathize with the perspective. We already have so much ammunition and intermixing falsehoods just reduces the overall trustworthiness of the genuine messages that need to be disseminated.

        It needs to be the right stuff. Like him mocking maga from behind the scenes. Have him confess to crimes like child abuse. Make the video look like a hidden cam.

        Nope, but that is not my wheelhouse or I would. Was thinking this could be a campaign by a group kind of like Anon.

              I just did a search. And then I’m decent at doing AI prompts. And yes… it does leave me with a bittersweet taste in my mouth.

              Shall we begin the campaign?

                They were suggestive images of Trump with kids. They were presumably made with AI but with his record they probably weren’t.

                Did I specifically ask you to do it? My statement, keyword statement, was intended as “I might as well…” so get back to making weird pictures, douche bag.

                  I think you took my comment, that was admittedly flippant, too harshly. Let’s shake on it and agree it was a silly mixup?
