    ‘But trump was on the phone with insurance companies to hurricane victims! Trump personally delivered truckloads of supplies! Trump gifted his salary to-’

    And on… and on… and on… forever the anticdote of ‘personal genorosity’ while it’s clear these human cesspits spew hatrid and worship personal greed.

    Those kind of anticdotes are what my family use to defend the man. These ‘proofs’ that he’s just a decent guy getting harassed by the world.

      A decent guy giving to the right people. Ask them if the US government gave enough monetary relief to the Carolininas after their hurricane last year. At some point later, ask if the government gave enough to New Orleans. They’ll flip from saying the mountain folk deserve more but New Orleans is at its own fault for not repairing the levys.

      Or don’t ask. You’ll get a dumb answer at best, a racist answer at worst. Either way, it’s not going to be productive unless your goal is to hate them more.

    Republican reality is artificial and unsustainable. It will take a long time but fascists always lose in the end.

      Only if they are stupid enough to start a war. Internationally peaceful fascists tend to rule until they are bored or die from old age.

    I posit the central flaw is the engagement system, which was AI driven long before LLM/diffusion was public. The slop is made because it sells in that screwed up, toxic feed.

    If engagement-driven social media doesn’t die in fire, the human race will.
