Comment on Donald Trump just shared an AI video to Truth Social depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys
artyom@piefed.social 4 days agoI love how everything Donnie does is a 4D strategy “to distract us” from the last shitty thing he did. No, it’s not a distraction, he’s just a piece of shit.

Why not both?
That’s basically the Republican playbook, in general:
Focus all your messaging on “wedge issues” that appeal to your (prejudiced) base, then pass laws that enrich the wealthy at the cost of their base. Deflect. Blame others. Distract. Lie. It’s all distraction, and it’s all vile.
I reject your false dichotomy. It’s also not 4D chess; it’s business-as-usual Conservative politics, and the Republicans are some of the best in the world at it because they now own most of the traditional media and the text platforms used by “influencers” and most alt media.
