i meant "AI" in this sense. and sure, it is sort of funny, but it's also, imo... shitty, actually, to cause people to believe ridiculous-and-untrue things (especially about someone like hegseth) because if/when they find out that they were misled it tends to sow doubt about the many ridiculous-but-true things they've also learned about him.
IT'S A FUCKING MEME 😂😂 No wonder the left lost the great meme war of 2024
some number of the dozens of people who upvoted this now incorrectly believe that hegseth has a tattoo with a funny misspelling. how does it being a meme make promulgating misinformation about about consequential people a good idea? 🤔
All's fair in meme war
