  1. Just assume the opposite of everything they say. Government will have to earn back the peoples trust over the next few decades.

     Ill probably never trust the government or conservatives I know ever again in my own lifetime 

  2. That’s the point. They’re muddying the waters so much to give their most ardent defenders room to call legitimate evidence of their wrong doing ‘fake’. This is an old fascist tactic. Orwell wasn’t predicting the future. He was observing the present. The AI slop machine is just Silicon Valley’s best fascism machine wrapped in gold and presented to the fascists.

    ‘The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right’. – 1984, George Orwell

  3. If you can lower prices by 1000% you can lower the trust further than 0%. Follow the white house for more math tricks!

  4. So all that talk about fake news was just more protection?

    I’m shocked, shocked I tell you!

  5. That’s the point. Destroy faith in the institutions of the country so people don’t know who to trust ever again. This is how you dismantle a nation. The insurrection never ended, it just waited.

    Trump could not possibly care less if you trusts him. He expects everyone to just shut the fuck up and do whatever he fucking tells you.

  7. But among the faithful, it reinforces their reality bubble enabling them to do things like vote against their own interests, with their last breath swear that a disease doesn’t exist as they die from it, and commit genocide.

    AI just chips away at people’s perception of reality itself until every event that isn’t personally witnessed first-hand as it happens will be seen as potentially fake.

    People will be forced to spend so much energy, time, and effort trying to determine what is real and what is fake that they’ll eventually just give up and conclude that everything is fake. It’s called “reality fatigue”. A society cannot exist in this environment.

  9. That’s the point. I have no idea why or what purpose it serves.

    But it’s definitely intentional.

    I suppose it’s further psychological warfare on American citizens. A way of smuggling in and testing the waters to see what people would be fine with and a precursor to putting in place things that people wouldn’t ordinarily tolerate

  10. For each meme the White House makes people should do 10 memes of the people running the account and are part of the administration

    Are news outlets avoiding using his name in the headlines now? Saw another one earlier that called him Donald (the current president). I’m guessing so many people are sick of seeing “Trump” that they’ve either actively blocked headlines with his name, or just filter it out mentally and scroll by.

  12. Well, AI added to the fact that he just makes up “facts” whenever he open his mouth…
