There’s a campaign going on to push the idea that Democrats are changing sides after watching Charlie Kirk videos. Interestingly, even though the bots are posting the exact same copy-pasted message, they seem to be controlled by an AI, since they will respond to comments, and even basic techniques for outing an AI (like “ignore all previous instructions” comments) work against them. So the first post is hardcoded, but they’re using an LLM for the responses.
The reason there are so dishonest is because they wrap their hypocrisy in such moral superiority that it creates enough, cognitive dissonance to make a person‘s head explode. So they lie. They lighter themselves, they lied to everyone else, and this delusion— they create a shared delusion between all of them because they’re all incredibly shitty people that constantly do terrible things who believe they are incredibly good people doing the right thing. The only way to make that make any sense to anyone is to lie about it constantly. Because these people lack not only empathy, they lack the capability for self reflection.
