F you, Taylor Swift!” shouted Megyn Kelly, “and f all of the people who want to see these children have body parts chopped off.”

For those not fluent in Republican crazy-speak, Kelly’s meltdown was triggered by Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris the night before, barely one hour after Trump all but face-planted on the debate stage. Kelly was especially triggered by Swift highlighting her appreciation for vice presidential nominee Tim Walz’s support of LGBTQ+ rights.

Other right-wing commentators, like Ben Shapiro, took another approach: making fun of Swifties. “Note: if you vote for a particular candidate because your favorite singer is doing so, please don’t vote. You are too stupid to vote,” wrote Shapiro on X. Meanwhile, Elon Musk, the richest man on the planet, threatened to impregnate her.

    But maybe he did it because democrats fooled him into doing it, right? Right?

    After eating someone's dog, the Haitians pressured Trump to post it because they're criminals. Or something.

    The point I'm making is the art could have come from anyone. Why not a troll or shitposters? 4chan has done stuff like this for literal decades.

    Yes, technically it could have come from anyone.
    So let's give the wannabe fascist republicans the benefit of the doubt, because that has historically been a very double plus good idea to do for authoritarians, and only good things will come from doing so...

    I don't think this makes trump look good either way, I'm not defending him.

    Either he's an idiot who got tricked into posting something he should have known not to, or he's an idiot who has idiot friends who sent him something and he posted it.

    I thought she was going to sue him for it.

    This is such a hilarious conspiracy theory that person has.

    Here is what happened: Leon put out an image generator that would create images of real people. Donald is desperate for attention. Donald wanted to fantasize what if A-list celebrities liked him, so he typed it in. He then shared it publicly.

    You have a source that says Donald trump made the images with his own prompts? Why wouldnt he be sued for that. Reposting someone else's images was already risky enough.

    I'll believe it though if you know where I can read about that.

    Not a conspiracy theory by the way, was just saying ai art from the internet could come from anyone, and shitposters and trolls exist. Theres even a professional board for it called 4chan.
