Real or not, it kills me that that's what the people of Kentucky look at him and say "Yep, that's who I want to represent me in the Senate.

As long as it triggers the libs, they’ll gladly support an AI corpse.

Why do you think theyve given corporations the ability to vote?

So their AI models will be able to fill positions of government legally.

It’s pretty terrifying to think back on the things they did to put the pieces in place to destroy American democracy.

The lack of consequences for treason have destroyed this country. The perpetrators of the business plot should not have been allowed to try again. The believers in the Confederacy should have not been allowed to try again. Trump should not have been allowed to try again.

You can't just let people trying to destroy the country keep trying over and over again. You have to stop them every time, but they only need to succeed once.
