Has anyone else noticed that MAGA's "faithful" are repeating scripts verbatim — or worse, asking what their sincerely held beliefs are while speaking? This is what an inorganic influence campaign to falsify grassroots support looks like. @thedangerousones.com explain 👇 youtu.be/sujDGxVLC-s?...

Chat, we're cooked — the few remaining MAGA faithful don't seem to understand that a "fake MAGA thirst trap" is, in fact, AI-generated. First tell: Conservative humor does not exist. Kenny Hesse explains: youtu.be/ulysFwMxFTU?...

It is super creepy when Trump, Vance, etc. harass private citizens by name or photo. But no one stops them, and now THE SITTING PRESIDENT is directing virulent harassment at little kids. Twice. He posted this TWICE today. What the fuck are we doing? Why is no one stopping this?

Trump followed up a disastrous July 4th by interfering in the World Cup, anointing a successor, and he's still not done with trying to screw with OUR Smithsonian. He also bilked his MAGA faithful for $3 billion: reallyamerican.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

OMG, Trump's surrogates are coordinating on Twitter to frame Mamdani's AC energy grid warnings "communist." Nearly all of them have issued identical guidance in heat waves, and over on the DoE website, the same exact recommendation is still live ...
