I still don’t understand why american elections need big crowds and treat it like a concert.

The bullshit asymmetry principle is in full effect here.

It takes nothing to make up bullshit and it takes hundreds, thousands, of times the resources to refute it.

Meanwhile another hundred pieces of bullshit have been created.

This is all just a bunch of red herrings and we waste so much time and effort into giving them attention.

When that convicted rapist gets defeated in the election, you can rest assured that he’ll resort to the same clumsy accusations of conspiracy and AI-generated this and that to try and deflect from the fact he’ll be the one trying to steal the election AGAIN.

Maybe it’s about damn time that convicted rapist was actually punished and not responded to as if anything he said or did was worthy of discussion.

And the more we discuss it here, the more it legitimizes Trump’s AI argument. He’s laughing all the way to the ballot box.

Best argument is, if you believe it’s ai, come and see it for yourself!

Michal ,

And make the crowd bigger. Good plan 👌

The argument for manipulation is “hurrr durrr you can’t see the crowd reflected in the engine!”

Here’s a zoom:

So let me explain…

You see this shadow across the crowd?

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/cc204efc-6d36-4ebd-98f7-0f0d6a3ab756.jpeg

Everyone in that shadow is standing under an overhang.

See this shadow reflected in the engine?

THAT’S THE OVERHANG AND THE SHADOW.

You can’t see the crowd because it’s all blended in to one big dark line.

RedShaniNqkomota ,

Do you really think someone actually read the absolutely nonsense post your ai writes for you?

It’s crazy that so many people get so hung up on the size of the crowds. Like are you going to vote based on who gets the bigger crowd? What happened to voting based on the candidate’s policies and track record as a politician?

SkunkWorkz ,

Many people are just Size Queens. They can’t enjoy democracy unless they see a large crowd size.

Tetsuo ,

Trump chooses a topic, lies constantly about it and let people get tired fact checking. Would crowd size be on the news without Trump activating that subject?

homesweethomeMrL ,

As mentioned elsewhere, “so many people” are caught in the wake of trump’s unrelenting torrent of lies and accusations.

‘Journalists’ use them as a reliable source of clickbait when they have nothing to report.

Americans remember his first press conference as ‘predisent’.

roofuskit ,

The argument started because Trump is a narcissist who is obsessed with crowd sizes. The Harris campaign has been teasing him that their crowds in the same places have been larger because they know it will make him unstable. Unstable Trump can’t take the hit to his ego so goes on social media and starts lying about the Harris crowds being fake. Reporters rake the bait and write articles disproving his claims.

The sad state of political campaigning in 2024.

billiam0202 ,

In 2020, when Trump lost, one of the common lies spewed by the right to claim he really won was comparing the sizes of his rallies to Biden’s.

Of course, that was during COVID restrictions, when the Dems were staying home and socially distancing, and the GOP pretended like the global pandemic wasn’t real.

kent_eh ,

Trump only cares about winning , which includes pointless dick measuring contests.

Generally in elections, the mere idea that one party is favored over the other can convince people to vote for them. So yes, “fake it til you make it” is a legitimate campaign strategy.

tias ,

What a disgrace.

The main reason Kamala’s crowd aren’t AI : Trump said it’s AI generated

You can set your watch by his obvious lies.

idiomaddict ,

When he says her crowds are AI, it means he’s using AI on his crowds.

Good, let Trump and his followers believe no one supports her or turns out to her events.

They can be so safe in knowing that she is so unliked that they can stay home on election day.

@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

Before welcoming this as good news, be aware that democrats might also start thinking this misinformation is real, and decide to stay home and “not vote for a losing team”.

Petter1 ,

What sense does it make to not vote for the loosing team? It is not like you bet with your ballot 😂

admin ,
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

Good question. The answer is: for a significant amount of people, politics is emotional - so what makes sense isn’t necessarily relevant.
