I Know Hinderaker Loves The “Post Factual” US Political Era… But Geez!

John Hinderaker has long praised the most base of political ads.

And almost without exception, nothing in these GOP/MAGA ads offers any indicia of truthfulness.

Time and again, we’ve seen John praise racism as a political strategy.

Time and again, we’ve seen him praise open lying — often with a racial tinge.

So it is not terribly surprising to see him now praising AI slop ads with fabricated footage and false quotes, purporting to offer a Black Democrat speaking on her record — in local LA elections.

The caricatures are offensive, and the assertions preposterous.

One could be forgiven for rightly assuming that John now hopes for return to Jim Crow era caricatures of people of color.

He certainly is praising those sorts of AI ads on the regular, now.

[Do recall that he felt the extremely racist old “Aunt Jemima” caricature did not need any updating — even as late as 2020. He felt Quaker was treating… a cartoon unfairly, by retiring its brand. Damn.]

The thing literally speaks for itself.

Out.
