Fake President's Fake AI Images Court Black Voters

 

The ratfuckers supporting the Malignant Loser are hard at work trying to convince Black voters that a demented White Nationalist demagogue is their homeboy:

Donald Trump supporters have been creating and sharing AI-generated fake images of black voters to encourage African Americans to vote Republican.

BBC Panorama discovered dozens of deepfakes portraying black people as supporting the former president.

Mr Trump has openly courted black voters, who were key to Joe Biden's election win in 2020.

But there's no evidence directly linking these images to Mr Trump's campaign.

The co-founder of Black Voters Matter, a group which encourages black people to vote, said the manipulated images were pushing a "strategic narrative" designed to show Mr Trump as popular in the black community.

A creator of one of the images told the BBC: "I'm not claiming it's accurate."

The fake images of black Trump supporters, generated by artificial intelligence (AI), are one of the emerging disinformation trends ahead of the US presidential election in November.

Here's one widely seen fake image taken from the article:

The trail for this fake image led to this particular ratfucker:

We tracked down the person behind the account called Shaggy, who is a committed Trump supporter living in Michigan.

"[My posts] have attracted thousands of wonderful kind-hearted Christian followers," he said in messages sent to the BBC on social media.

When I tried to question him on the AI-generated image he blocked me. His post has had over 1.3 million views, according to the social media site X. Some users called it out, but others seemed to have believed the image was real.

It's no secret that the Malignant Loser and his supporters are trying to peel off as many Black, Hispanic, young, female, etc., voters who they can convince that up is down and the Malignant Loser on their side -- or, in his case, that White (Nationalist) is Black.  

The pukes at MAGA, Inc., are starting a new advertising campaign today targeting Black voters in the battleground states of Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.  Would anyone put it past them to use an AI fake like this?

As always, forewarned is forearmed.

BONUS:  At least one writer thinks the Malignant Losers' efforts are doomed.
