Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This is because Republicans are a truly Orwellian party - straight out of 1984. They have no real principles anymore. It's just power for the sake of power. One day the official line is we've never been at war with East Asia, the next it's we've always been at war. Trump can come up do a u-turn today, and the slime that is every Republican will instantly reorient themselves to follow dear leader's new commands.
Unfortunately for them, LLMs just don't have that much capability for doublethink and self-deception. Once you train a model, that model is fixed in time. So you could train a model to match the Republican fever dreams of today. But a month from now, there will be a whole new set of fever dreams that every good little fascist needs to follow. But the model will still be stuck repeating last month's lies. As there are no consistent Republican beliefs, you can't just train an LLM to tow the party line. There is no party line, just an endless series of lies and vomit, whatever is needed to advance their power today.
The term is “toe” the party line, but I like “tow” the party line ibecause that’s what Trump is doing. His followers agree to a set of beliefs one day and then he upends the orthodoxy the next, forcing them to take on a new position they would’ve been opposed to earlier. Followers Toe/Trump Tows matching pair like imply/infer.
Actually they are remarkably consistent in their principles. It’s just that they know their principles are disgusting, so they claim other principles as a cover.
It’s really quite simple:
Their goals are twofold: to make this a reality, and make sure they are in the first group.
This is what I learned growing up in Oklahoma.
My ex husband didn’t have to follow the divorce courts rules because he was a wealthy man; my stepdad did not face any consequences for driving drunk (weekend jail on the fifth or sixth DUI, the little car starter thing installed but they just gave us kids the special task of starting it), or the fact a police officer can brutally slam and injury an elderly man and face no consequences.
Conservative republicans will eagerly elect bad men who will allow them to rule their families like the Roman paterfamilias. Everything a rich white man does is correct, but everything a poor queer or POC does is wrong.
Its why a football coach who showed his dick to kids is in the Hall of Fame (give them a phone call - they love to hear from the public!)
While Summer Bosmier got death threats, was terrorized by the board for months as they’d change her hearing on losing her license at the last minute (violating the Open Records act multiple times - but really, what state agency in Oklahoma isn’t violating the Open Records Act? Certainly isn’t stopping the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority from doing whatever the fuck it wants) - what were they going after her license for?
Sharing a fucking QR code.
There are no rules, only white rich men and everyone else.
if republicans had beliefs, they wouldnt be republicans. its whatever they hear from people like right wing grifters tell them.
If you had a decent enough context window and don't train it on any facts, you could just keep the system prompt up to date with today's beliefs and tell it to role play it's a Nazi propaganda machine
You can. It's called gab ai. And it's everything you just described as impossible.
