….it didn’t take long for certain fans to point out that Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library – a literacy initiative which has gifted more than 330 million books to children since 1995, and one of Parton’s many philanthropic causes - has been defunded by the Trump administration. … …Now, in one of his latest AI slop posts, Trump took to Truth Social to share an illustration of him arm in arm with Parton walking around the White House.
It’s called a gish gallop. It’s a debate tactic where you just throw as much shock nonsense out as possible as fast as possible. Your opponent (or sane humans in this case) can’t keep up with refutation or reality check. I don’t know if he has the wherewithal to know he’s doing it, but the play is to just overload with bone-chillingly-evil nonsense so some of it slips through.
and it’s been an exhausting 10+ years of this bullshit.
That’s also the playbook of fascism. Take away so many laws and rights then when one or two get overturned, let them celebrate while you prepare the next batch of laws and rights to strip away.
It’s the firehose of falsehood when it’s used as a form of governance.
He’s a narcissistic sociopath who’s a compulsive liar. He’s not smart enough to know what a gish gallop even means.
