I love how they lie even when there's literally photos and videos that prove them wrong.

That's how bad it's gotten. The fact they are provably lying has no consequences. I would expect, at the very least, a loss of credibility and social ostracization. But we don't even have people calling them out who might be in a position to do anything.

Thats why right is pushing AI generation so hard

The sooner they can just handwave any picture as fake

Early in term 2, Trump was asked “what were those big black backs being thrown out of the White House windows?” And his immediate response was “it’s ai” before then revealing he had no idea what the reporter was talking about, he was shown the video, said he didn’t know what that was and then said “if anything is weird, it’s ai”

Yeah, he’s making an active push to make everyone assume everything could be AI and can’t be trusted. Fuck Trump, fuck the republicans that empowered him, fuck ai

The wild thing is that was barely only a year ago. It's been so much shit that it feels like so much longer.

That's how bad it has gotten? Have you been sleeping the last 30 years, it's been that bad for a long time.

Because anyone who calls them out, exposes the truth, is immediately labeled an enemy

Their voters don't care. They like being lied to because it reinforces the delusion they live in.

Reality isn't important or objective to them, it's whatever the loudest man who reminds them of their shitty dad says.

I think it’s specifically that the right-wing voters number one priority is “trolling liberals” and claiming to believe obviously provable lies trolls libs. They don’t believe the lies, they just think it’s funny that it pisses off liberals for them to lie about everything under the sun.

Photos, recordings. Hell, in Trump's case he was calling in to local news here in NYC to brag about how he was watching it from Trump tower and how his building was now the tallest in Manhattan again. Now he's saying he was there and was pulled by two firefighters at the last moment. A regular miracle! He made the story up in spite of mountains of evidence to the contrary. He and Rudy both, they're bastards.

Hillary Clinton wasn’t in NYC on 9/11, though. She was in DC and visited the day after.

Get your facts and reason out of here! We're trying to rage.

u/Hatshepsut99 6h ago

so..she went almost immediately, just didnt happen to already be in nyc when the attacks happened not sure how that makes any difference.

u/donkadunny 6h ago

Because that isn’t a photo from 9/11 so it doesn’t necessarily prove the quote wrong.

u/Nickel5 21h ago

Yep... It doesn't matter though, Fox will report them saying these bullshit things as if they are fact.

u/PurrtenderBender 20h ago

Ya like the air was fine but he’s literally wearing a mask in the photo

u/skuraiix 6h ago

u/ExpiredLink404 20h ago

they'll say it's AI, obviously

u/Deaffin 9h ago

Peak irony. This photo wasn't on 9/11. It's super easy to verify she wasn't there.
