It's already difficult to imagine a more delusional electorate.
So...what you're saying is that...evil men and women are using state of the art technology to make up false evidence against their political opponents...or...same shit, different tech - that they've been doing since the dawn of time? This doesn't end until someone dies because of gge lies...and then, rather than punish the guilty parties, they'll regulate the tech end-users and creators - rather than make it illegal to, oh I don't know, lie in campaign materials. I mean, an ounce of ethical behavior would prevent the entire problem. It's not as difficult a problem as they seem to think. Just make it illegal to lie in political commercials. It's so easy... until ghe liars find a way to "lie without lying" - luke using a microscopic disclosure statement that the whole message is a "hypothetical discussion." Sometimes there's a need to limit the freedom of speech...like not yelling "fire" in a theater. But, this world has so twisted the ideals of truth and honesty that even truth and honesty have become suspected of lies.
Who could have ever predicted such a thing 🫢
Trickling? They had a five minute monologue of a rival candidate saying inane shit he never said right to the camera.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!
