Can it be gaslighting when it’s this obvious, at this point?
I occasionally watch YouTube Shorts and normally it’s all surfing and fail videos (I have given up trying to understand why) but the other night every fourth video or so were these ridiculous videos edited to show “what a boss” Trump was and how Putin was obsequious, etc. It was crazy to watch.
I’d love to know who is making them and who is paying to have them in my feed. The idea that these videos are going to somehow convince me that Trump is a foreign policy genius and Putin is his lapdog is hilarious. This means that they were very poorly targeted which probably means a huge, inefficient spend.
Any time someone refers to transgender people as “transgenders” or uses “trans” as a noun you immediately know they are bigots.
I don’t think that’s a great way to look at things
There’s an old saying in Tennessee — I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.
Yep was going to say don’t get fooled twice LGBT friends he claimed to be on your side last time and look where they got us
No one’s getting fooled by this except people who already don’t live in reality.

As in, he’s setting fire to the roads they built over the last few years?
Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice, well you can’t fool me.
So it seems to be republicans trying to sway republicans away from trump, but without sending them to a particular candidate.
Says a lot about the Republican party when an attack on Trump for being too “trans-friendly” doesn’t even point to a specific candidate, because they’re all a bunch of transphobic, homophobic, “anti-woke” extremists… doesn’t it?
Prediction: This works way better than DeSantis hoped and Trump wins the Iowa caucuses due to strong support from trans Republicans.
This kind of bullshit worked the first time, why not try it again??
7 years ago there were at least some gay/lesbian people who actually bought into the nonsense that Trump was friendly to their cause.
This was all part of his larger misinformation campaign which was flooding various social media sites. The FBI has been warning us about this for years now but it seems like no really takes it seriously and everything thinks they will not be affected. Bad actors spreading propaganda was all over Reddit, and I have little doubt it is here on Lemmy too.
These are all the exact same arguments from 2016.
Those arguments never went away. Russia is working with the GOP to spread as much misinformation as before, and with election season ramping up, it is only going to get more intense.
wonder if Dems can use this narrative to affect support for trump when he inevitably wins the nominee. how many repubs are going to be energized to come out for a “staunchly pro trans” nominee?
