Tbh, I'm not sure what liberals could deepfake Trump that would be worse than what he actually says haha

[–] laughterlaughter@lemmy.world 42 points 7 months ago (3 children)

You're not thinking deeper enough. Imagine a deep-faked Trump saying "Actually, I like Mexicans. It was all a joke. Borders open for everyone! And to all of you who gave me money, thank you haha suckers!! I endorse Joe Biden."

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 22 points 7 months ago (3 children)

His voters literally don't care what he says.

Trump is the President that signed an executive order restricting firearms, but it's apparently Obama and Biden that are coming after our guns.

Every time his mental stability or physical health is brought up, I go back to this. His supporters are so sycophantic that he could shit into his open palm and lob it into the crowd at a rally and they'd never question it.

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

You can also watch videos of Joe Biden and see his daily public schedule and see him getting shit done without much difficulty. He's obviously not how Republicans describe him but why convincing people not the believe what they can see with their own eyes is part of the Republican strategy.

"Don't look up!"

I’d amend that to say his followers don’t know what he says much of the time. Their information comes largely through filters and fables.

[–] guacupado@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

You're not thinking serious enough. Imagine the shit Trump has said on the campaign trail, but now he can tell his cultists directly on their phones. Lighting the kindling and seeing if it blows up or not.

You have to think so crazy you end up thinking normal

[–] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

I'm not worried about liberals deepfaking Trump, I more worried about grifters deepfaking Trump to further take advantage of low intelligence/low cognitive function trump supporters. I already see it with freeze dried ration scams and such. I don't want grifters to get ahold of my inheritance.

[–] lingh0e@sh.itjust.works 8 points 7 months ago

You're correct, which is why the next best thing is just deepfaking him into a completely different personality.
