    Some voters somehow looked this idiot and said ‘nope, no point casting my vote…’

    Bystander effect on a national scale

    Jfc… I guess I owe The Boys an apology. I thought they were laying it on a bit thick with the Homelander=Trump connections, but I guess not.

      Well… Trump has yet to murder a complete court room to be worse then Homelander… But otherwise… Invoking hate speech into citizens to the point they use violence and starting wars they have these checks of destroying further the world…

    “I can destroy the country” ??? Change to “I am destroying your country, I have no allegiance except to the golden calf.”.

    That is literally his plan. He said it out loud, again?! What will it take for you imbeciles to stop him!! Do you like America? Because you are going to be the pariah of the world and the next Russia if you don’t do something about it. Get used to it or get up.

      Maybe. Even assuming you live to a ripe old age, Trump only has to keep going a couple more years until AI is going to be indistinguishable from actual footage. Keep Trump holed up in Mar-a-Lago for “security reasons” and he never needs to die. He can remain president-for-life.

        Eh. We’ve had the capacity to fake footage for a long, long time. Con-artists were faking UFO sightings in the 50s and fooling people. Skeptics were questioning holocaust photos and 9/11 footage a generation ago and straight up denying dashcam footage of police brutality straight into the modern moment.

        AI can fake a particular moment and whip people up, but it can’t stand any serious interrogation or follow-up. It is only good at showing people what they were already primed to believe.

          Oh sure. I’m not saying it would need to stand up to any scrutiny. But the truth is getting less and less relevant.

          And honestly, if an eternal AI Trump managed to deliver on the economy, and not deport too many white immigrants, it would probably be a shoe-in for decades to come, regardless of how implausible it was.

            But the truth is getting less and less relevant.

            The mechanism for manufacturing bullshit is moving from a largely human endeavor predicated on a handful of big name labels circulating rumor and innuendo to an increasingly automated process driven by digital hustlers and independent con-artists tapping into third party toolkits.

            When you’re coming out of the generation that got lied into the invasion of Iraq and bullshitted into the First Trump Admin, largely thanks to heavily consolidated traditional media pushing Oil Company and Big Bank financed misinformation, it’s hard to talk about “truth getting less relevant”. This was a generation that saw Dan Rather lose his job for accurately reporting a sitting President’s embarrassing record in the Air National Guard, while the network next door was pumping out an endless stream of “Climate Change is a Hoax” and “Jimmy Carter caused the Great Recession” headline gore.

            AI isn’t the game changer we like to pretend. The volume of misinformation and outright fabrication in the US media has a long and storied history.

    “I can destroy the trade. I can destroy the country,” Trump said.

    “I’m allowed to impose a foreign destroying embargo, I can embargo, I can do anything I want, but I can’t charge $1.” In a bizarre explanation, Trump said he “was very modest in my ask of other countries”.

    “I didn’t want to do anything that would affect the decision of the court,” he said.

    “I wanted to be a good boy.”

    “I didn’t want to hurt you, but you’ve left me no choice.” He thinks about everything like a violent, abusive rapist. Probably because he’s a violent, abusive rapist.
