  Despite MAGA fans making him rich, he still looks down on them, calling them “super-dumb.”

  He said he also attempted to make a liberal counterpart for Hart on Instagram, but “Democrats know that it’s AI slop, so they don’t engage as much,” he said.

  “The MAGA crowd is made up of dumb people — like, super-dumb people. And they fall for it,” Sam said.

It is kind of crazy that growing up I recall hearing a lot of “be careful don’t trust the internet” and then now that same generation of people is falling for all manner of scams and fake news peddlers online.
