      It’s fairly effective in the outskirts of Portland and Gresham. I had someone ask how Portland was a few weeks ago. They were convinced it was experiencing raging riots for the past 90 days. Their source: “news from the East coast”. Not sure what that means, but yeah.

      Right Wing Logic:

      Democratic leaning areas are war zones! We must deploy the military and stop this madness by FORCE!

      Also, nothing at all of note is occuring in Ukraine or Gaza. Why do you ask?

      Right wing media proves that the harm caused by chatbots is not unique. It’s just tech companies made the problem way worse.
