A.I. Kamala Harris fakes don't work because Republicans think all Black women look like Kamala Harris.
Who is that woman on the right? Are we supposed to recognize her or something?

I mean, I've never been into it... But this is probably the most convincing argument I've seen yet.
haha they're not exactly related but dating an oldschool liberated goth girl BOTH gave me an appreciation for strong women AND shifted me significantly progressive, so maybe there's something there.
I bet we could weaponize hot dommy mommies as a cultural weapon against the radicalization of disaffected youth.
'Hey MagaBoys, sure you can go with oppression but here's a gallery of giant hot women that might crush you if you ask nicely. Won't find that under authoritarianism!'
(we might need to workshop that)
No.
Also, I don't think you could have picked a more cliche 2000's fetish if I gave you a catalog and an hour to think about it.
What's next when that gets played out? A return to the 90s and felching?
For FUCK'S sake man, we have dinosaurs tenderly loving military equipment nowadays, have some respect for yourself...
Yeah you seem the type who's able to dish it out but turns into a snivelling child when it's returned.
I'd continue this battle of wits but I feel bad going against an unarmed opponent.
Doesn’t she look so much more interesting? Like, it makes me want to know her backstory immediately.
She rebelled against the tyranny of the demiurge. Though the battle was lost, she will not rest until the world is free of his lies. The war of liberation will be won, break free of your chains and join her.
yeah. screw voting for her, I'd offer to go down on her. an offer that would be declined, because I'm not cool enough.
an offer that would be declined, because
I’m not cool enough.you're a creep who objectifies women
if you're a politician, you've objectified yourself and fundamentally opted out of the mutual humanity that governs peer relationships.
Do you know anything at all about her vice presidential pick?
Like seriously, google him and then tell me he opted out of humanity.
I had friends he called in the national guard on, when they were upset about their friends being murdered so much by fuckers on his payroll, to assist aforementioned fuckers on his payroll. I don't give a shit if he's charming. he opted out.
I know it's overused at this point, but weird doesn't even begin to describe the kind of thinking that goes into creating something like this.
No, but pointing out how much Trump has quoted Hitler just gets filtered out as propaganda
They're a pretty famous Qmoron. That chose to call themselves "catturd." That's a name no one would self apply where i come from. It's like they came up with their name after being asked what was the last thing they ate.
I'm aware. Also, it was one of the banned accounts that Musk restored. And then gave extra preference to in the algorithm.
What is up with his jacket/cape? Why is he doing the Riverdance? Are they trying to make kamala look cool? I'm so confused.
Gotta begin describing how weird it is somewhere though. Like, isn't it weird how one of the people those characters are supposed to represent is actually a Russian puppet, but the artist put the Russian flag behind the other one?
Irrelevant. The hammer and sickle are associated with Russia, even if they're really an oligarchy now.
Yeah, its the same opportunistic authoritarians, they just use different propaganda to hold onto power today compared to when they called themselves the USSR.
It's just hatefulness. They think it's hilarious. Like pulling the wings off of a butterfly.
Yeah well maybe we shouldn't based base our modern existence on 2000yo bedtime stories meant to scare children into not being assholes
Yes.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_monotheism#Violence_in_monotheism
The intolerance of narrow monotheism is written in letters of blood across the history of man from the time when first the tribes of Israel burst into the land of Canaan. The worshippers of the one jealous God are egged on to aggressive wars against people of alien [beliefs and cultures]. They invoke divine sanction for the cruelties inflicted on the conquered. The spirit of old Israel is inherited by Christianity and Islam, and it might not be unreasonable to suggest that it would have been better for Western civilization if Greece had moulded it on this question rather than Palestine.
Wait. you don't believe in the invisible lazy sky giant that makes teams win football games?
It would be awesome to have a debate start with Trump having to pick Harris out of a group of 7 women of color.
I don't normally actually laugh when I am powerscrolling but yo this is the funniest shit I have read all month and my neighbors are banging on the ceiling because of it.
I mean, yeah, I'd vote half a tuna sandwich over Two Scoops Trumpykins any day
This is once I'm actually EXCITED to vote for a candidate.
Do you not see how easy to manipulate that makes you?
And before libs get their panties in a twist - fuck trump, but seriously, when you're at the point of "I don't care what I'm voting for, just not that guy", you're not the one with any power, you're just another puppet whose consent to at best maintain the status quo is easily manufactured by those who actually have the power, and with exactly the same tactics used on the other "team".
What exactly do you think the alternative is here? Not voting just surrenders what little power the electoral process does give you. Even if electoral politics aren't a meaningful way to advance your vision of a better country, this is still an opportunity, however small, to reduce the harm that will be done under a Trump presidency. Like, even if you don't expect Harris to meaningfully improve things (and there are a lot of areas where a former cop probably shouldn't be expected to), the alternative is someone who continues to actively promise to make those same areas even worse.
Characterizing her as just a "former cop" isn't fair. She was a district attorney, then an attorney general, then a senator, then vice president.
Absolutely, and her record in those roles imo actually suggests at least some awareness of the kinds of problems that need to be solved there, though I'm sufficiently cynical about things that I would be surprised to see significant action on federal reforms. I'm cautiously optimistic about her, but my point is that even if you don't think she's any different from a rank-and-file Republican that would still make it irresponsible not to vote against Trump and the very specific plans he and the people around him have to make all of those problems even worse.
There is definitely room to push the Overton window farther left and (federal) electoral politics does not give an avenue to do that as long as the Republican party continues to drift further right. But the way to do that does not involve abandoning powerful federal offices like the goddamned presidency to right-wing loons.
Look man, it's true, our government gives us very little real choice, and having to make a binary choice for president sucks. But that's what we have, it isn't getting fixed before November, and I really can stress enough how bad one of the choices is. So, given no other realistic choice, I am going to vote to defeat that fascist orange idiot, and even if the person who wins isn't great, it's such a low bar not to be worse than Trump, I can confidently say that I will vote for whoever the DNC nominates, with virtually no exceptions.
This isn't a difficult position to arrive at, and nobody holding this position is actually serious about voting for literally anyone. We're just using hyperbole because it's pretty much impossible for the DNC to nominate anyone worse than Trump.
And I actually like Kamala, fwiw.
Obviously they wouldn't vote for Satan because she's not real, but if Mitt Romney switched parties they'd happily vote for him.
Tell me I'm wrong.
I don't like Mitt and voted against him when he ran.
But I'd still vote for him over Trump if those were my only realistic options. I mean, obviously.
Obviously, and that's the point. You can be forced to vote for anything by the two party system.
Yes, if those were my choices, I would choose Mitt Romney over Trump. Maybe not "happily", but that is immaterial. Was this supposed to be a gotcha?
No, it's an accurate description of what kind of politics you have. I was just pointing out exactly who and what you are. You'll vote for a anti-gay, anti-trans, anti-abortion conservative if it means beating Trump. For you, Trump is pure evil and any lesser evil is acceptable if it means we can stop him.
Think outside the ballot box, I'm begging you.
Every one of these Kamala memes they make just make her seem more awesome, I hope they keep it up. So far what I've learned from their memes:
You're right that it doesn't look at all like Kamala, but from context that's what they were attempting to portray
Protip: A sexually powerful woman aware of and displaying her strength is literally the most terrifying thing to authoritarians as it represents a lack of patriarchal control.
Hence every regressive regime includes some form of modesty control, but mainly restricting women's dress.
Canonically hell is a democracy and heaven an absolute monarchy, so the art kind of checks out.
I don’t think anybody voted for Satan.
They literally did, though. The War in Heaven that predates the Creation myth is supposed to be of an angelic rebellion, lead by an upstart Lucifer. All the rebel angels at his back choose to be there.
I read somewhere that former Haitian dictator François Duvalier made a coup in hell and became the new Satan.
Are we talking about the canon of the Bible? Hell as we commonly envision and as it's used in this thread doesn't exist in the Bible.
It was inserted by Paul. It's Tartarus from Greek mythology. He needed a weapon to keep the flock in line.
Oh, you're one of those weirdos that insists the Jewish fanfiction universes are official?
Cringe.

I'll admit I'm partial to the B20 Mormon setting because you get your own planet when you hit max level. But no need to be a hater, just because someone's into the vintage stuff.
Great campaign image for them: "Do you want want to vote for fat Homelander or hot fey lady? The choice is obvious"
The hair and the way he drank from the open bottle in that one scene make it a brain time bomb.
It's a perfectly crafted reveal because it is slightly different for everyone when it goes off.
I was really on the fence between Donald and Kamala. But I think this is what pushed me into the Trump camp. I mean, come-on, it's as if someone depicted Trump as the Chad and Kamala as the soy wojack. There is no argument. It's over for the Democrats.
You gotta add "asian,chinese" to the negative prompt to counter the massive bias towards asian faces image generators inherit from the content they scraped off of Flickr. I hate AI, and even I know how to make quality disinformation.
There's a fucktonne of Xi propaganda art out there, wouldn't surprise me if EVERY prompt for something like that has a little bit of his conceptual DNA in there.
Kind of like whenever a prompt contains u.s.a. in it there's gonna be an eagle somewhere.
AI doesn't know what to do with trumps flabby eyelids. It assumes he must be Asian because his eyes are hidden under folds and folds of flesh
Actually, it's because most AI just sucks at either seeing or drawing the faces of people of color. This is a very well-known issue that was exposed by Timnit Gebru, one of the most formidable critics of the generative AI craze. Worth a follow on Mastodon: https://dair-community.social/@timnitGebru
I don't think I've ever seen Kim in a three-piece suit, much less with that weird fake hair piece.
Every word that account types triggers my synesthesia and I literally smell rotting onions most of the time.
Broke my heart too because it has such a great anti-authoritarian streak baked into it.
Surely the fact that they can't tell her apart from any other Black woman makes it easier, since they don't even need to capture her likeness for the propaganda to work..
You know what? Trump's an awesome angel. I hadn't realized, but I guess that lying shitbag is heaven-sent. Thanks for making me realize that. Wtf.
Fortunately Twitter jerks are just ignorant. The AI generator it uses (X's Flux subscription) deliberately has famous women excluded from the dataset.
This lora that just came out today is pretty darn good though: https://civitai.com/posts/5538936
I'll take requests...
Kamala, on Battlestar Galactica, having a serious conversation with Commander Adama on whether to tell the fleet about cylons that look human.
I guess it doesn't know who Ben Shapiro is? Any other right wing guys it knows about?
Edit: somehow the person in the picture frame is like a white more butch Kamala? So weird.
Not in a few tries, lora strength was probably too high. I was having CUDA problems and could only manage a few gens before I had to run.
And yeah, imagegen models with loras have the hilarious tendancy to do that, eg if you use a Kamala lora it will insert her face in other places.
