Who Are The MAGA People?

Post by ceeboo »

Considering how many times I have seen MAGA used on this board, I wanted to offer an alternate description of MAGA - One that is slightly less negative, and perhaps a lot closer to the truth. YMMV.

"desire for truth and basic human rights" got me.

Great satire.

This is pure 2024 right now. Chef’s kiss zeitgeist, brother. They have to use A.I. to keep lying about who they are and then pretend that’s who they are. How are your ears today, Ceeboo? Tingly?

They have to use A.I.

Wait. Are these the same MAGA people who just spent the better part of a month pushing stories about immigrants eating pets, and who claim that Democrats are literal vampires who drink blood and eat human flesh?

(Unfortunately, the short video from the link immediately above appears to have no A.I. or CGI content. Sadly, it’s real.)

Yeah, there is a Don Quixote theme to the whole MAGA movement the video captures perfectly. It's the same lens they see themselves through when looking at the attack on democracy they perpetrated in January 2021 all while imagining they were protecting America™ and making it great again.

Psychosis at it's most blatant.

I applaud you for having less of a YouTube life than I do Canpakes, or maybe you're seeing something I don't. But a few months ago, I started getting these weird video recommendations that look a lot like this one, that I came to realize were actual A.I. creations. The video itself. In other words, the A.I. scrapes stock footage and puts it together along with the narration. Most of the ones that come my way are science videos.

Huh. Not a single "“F” Joe Biden" sticker in sight.

(Just down the road a MAGA neighbor has had a sign up for several months. It's a giant-sized Joe Biden "I did that" sign, with Joe pointing up at a real-life desecrated US flag that hangs above the sign. It seems to me that self-awareness is the Marmite of virtues: a very little goes a long way, but even in small amounts it isn't for everyone.)

Oh, I haven’t clicked on Ceeb’s vid link. I was referring to the short clip of Roseanne Barr ranting on Tucker’s stage a few days ago.

I wonder if Ceeb’s vid is the same sent via text to my SO by their MAGA uncle several weeks ago. I’ll have to check that one out again. And, I have noticed the same as you about A.I.-generated material from MAGA sources. It’s amazing to see how necessary A.I. is for the MAGA movement’s crafting of their ‘image’, or for promoting Trump.

ETA: Ceeb’s vid is the same as the one texted to us a few weeks ago. I think that it might be more factual if they replaced some of that stock advertising agency footage with social media snippets from Trump favorite and traveling companion Laura Loomer, along with vids of MAGA in action.

So who are the MAGA people? Those courageous truth seekers and protectors of basic human rights?
