The thing about the Tucker Carlson//Jacob Rees-Mogg interview is that Tucker is an American moron whose entire tactic is “assume the other guy won’t question my premises”, up against a British aristocrat that debates for fun at Oxford Union. Its like a small animal encountering an Apex predator

I like how other Rs explain that it’s not a bribe, he’s talking about a legitimate policy proposal he hopes to enact with R support, and then Trump comes out and says It’s a bribe, I’m bribing you to vote for Republicans.

I'm not going to say you *shouldn't* worry about Trump pulling a Yoon if the GOP loses in 2026 or 2028, but I think the triumphal arch and the ballroom will be a pretty unimportant part of whatever happens.

If libs care about it, then by definition they’re wrong, so you have to either ignore the stuff they’re very much obviously not wrong about or else define the stuff in such a way that not caring means you’re cool and the libs suck.

Oh yeah, this is clearly part of Bluesky’s absolute willful ignorance on the subject. “Typing a prompt into ChatGPT” has become an ideological litmus test; as a result many won’t do it. Doing minimal investigation and discovering its remarkable capability is reframed as “getting AI psychosis.”
