Critics have called Trump administration’s provocative video ‘slopaganda’, used to promote president’s agenda

A Hollywood-themed propaganda video released by the White House promising “justice the American way” for Iran features movie stars from Australia, New Zealand and Canada, and promotes characters including a corrupt lawyer, a drug dealer and a freedom fighter who stands up to the overwhelming force of an invading foreign army.

The 42-second video posted on the official X account of the White House on Thursday was met with almost universal mockery online, with comments accusing the Trump administration of immaturity, and likening its social media strategy to one run by teenagers.

    Bought my first one like 4 days ago. I hate owning guns. I never wanted to own one. I’m in my 30s in Texas, and around them all the time for work and never wanted one.

    Things are just not right anymore.

      It’s smart to be prepared. Hopefully we’ll never need to use these, but I won’t put my faith in a civilization run by Trump supporters to remain stable.

      A recent shower thought I had:

      Liberals are to guns as conservatives are to abortions:

      Their prevalence is a moral/ethical problem in society and the government should regulate them to reduce their numbers.

      But it’s ok for me to have one. I just won’t talk about it.

          I do not disagree. Of course the converse argument is that gun rights are guaranteed in the constitution whereas uterus (really any female rights) rights are not.

          I feel like you may have missed the part where conservatives still get abortions, they just don’t talk about it.
