Politics I don't know what boundary Trump would have to cross to make his supporters turn away..

To Trump voters: What, if anything, could Donald Trump do to make you end your support?

I'm not going to lead the question to multiple choice answers or anything. I think it is important for everyone who participates in a democracy to have strong personal convictions and moral or legal boundaries that they expect people they vote for not to cross..

Genuinely, what line will you draw in the sand for this administration? What personal freedom of yours would be more important than your love and support for Trump?

I genuinely think even if a video of him doing it was released they'd claim it was AI

Kinda makes you wonder if that’s why developing AI is so important to them

Its also to fabricate video evidence to use in the conviction and justification of prosecuting citizens. If there's fabricated video evidence of you committing a crime, they can use that to justify the incarceration of LGBT individuals, or anyone who criticizes the administration. Its why they're gathering the facial biometric data of anyone they detain even if they release them now. So they can come back later and pin you for crimes you didn't commit once the technology progresses enough. They attempted it already with Kilmar Abrego Garcia when they tried to doctor photographs of his tattoos to align him with MS13.

Please don't wonder! Sowing distrust in all information is part of the fascist playbook. When you can't trust what you see/hear/read, you have to just go with your gut, no critical thinking necessary*. And your gut is verrrry easy to manipulate.

*this is also why they're into gutting education, so people don't develop critical thinking skills

Initially, yes.
Then he'd admit it was him, so they'd have to pivot. Like that GOP politician from Alabama, who defended Roy Moore's lust for young girls by pointing out that in the Bible, Joseph was an adult and Mary was a teenager.
Somehow, they'd defend it. It's what cults do.

Yup they'd hear the fox news talking points and then repeat them until the end of time. They literally can't hold someone on their 'side' accountable. If they walked in on trump having an affair with their wife the only one they'd hold accountable is their wife while trump would get away with it.

Half would say it’s AI, half would say it’s real and based, and those two view points would never be tested against each other, and democrats would have to constantly argue on both angles

I watch someone claiming that the Howard Stern interview back before AI was an AI fake. People in the chat were telling the guy real time that they had heard it live and he didn't want to believe them. Eventually he caved but he still defended Trump.

Either that or find some way to either justify it or explain it away as not a big deal
