Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Yes, but it's easier and faster to do the slop--for those who know how to use it and/or are willing to pay for the subscription, which doesn't include me but there must be plenty of people who can. So scripts, actors, production, time, editing can't keep up with their method of just typing in prompts until posting the results.

Of course South Park and SNL and those who can do more professional stuff should keep doing what they're doing, but meanwhile they are "flooding the zone" as they call it, and it works. Turning their slop-generated messaging (Trump is a king who humiliates his enemies by dropping shit on them from our mighty military jets) into our own messaging (trump is a doofus who shits his pants uncontrollably).

Oh, and in addition to the edits I suggested above, the crowd his shit falls on should all be wearing red MAGA hats and waving MAGA signs!

You've got a phone with a camera, don't you? Just film yourself doing a Trump impersonation. Even if you suck at it, it would be 1000 times better than what an AI produces. Hell, being terrible and having zero production value would actually make it funnier!

  1. No I don't, I don't have a smartphone and my phone only takes still pictures.. But that is irrelevant.

  2. You missed the entire point of my post, which is to suggest that someone take this propaganda video which is the topic of this thread, and make some edits to it that turns the tables so that it's mocking trump.

  3. I'm not interested in going down a rabbit hole arguing about how people who may decide to make additional, anti-magat videos should go about doing that.

Don't take things too seriously. Especially from me.
