You ain't seen nothing yet.
Just wait until the AI bots start putting out all of the deepfake videos that people can't even tell aren't real... assuming that hasn't been going on already.

A new budget proposal for the 2024 fiscal year makes sweeping cuts.
https://hern.house.gov/uploadedfiles/202306141135_fy24_rsc_budget_prin
t_final_c.pdf
The proposed 2024 Republican budget includes efforts to:
• Cut Social Security and Medicare
• Make Trump’s tax cuts for the top 1 percent permanent
• Impose work requirements on “all federal benefit programs,” like food stamps and Medicare
• Extend work requirements on those aged 55-64
• Bring back all of Trump’s deregulations, including the weakening of environmental protection.
And that’s just a taste of their hopes and dreams. But don’t mistake it all as just wish-casting: “The RSC Budget is more than just a financial statement. It is a statement of priorities,” the party assures in the document.

A woman in a hot-air balloon was lost, so she shouted to a man below, "Excuse me. I promised a friend I would meet him, but I don't know where I am.”
"You're at 31 degrees, 14.57 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude," he replied.
"You must be a Democrat,” the woman shouted back.
"I am. How did you know?" said the man.
"Because everything you told me is technically correct, but the information is useless, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've been no help,” the woman replied.
"You must be a Republican,” answered the man.
"Yes. How did you know?" she said.
“Because,” the man replied, “you’ve risen to where you are due to a lot of hot air, you made a promise you couldn't keep and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met but somehow now it’s my fault.”

The “anti-intellectual attack” on higher ed
Here’s what’s really behind the right-wing campaign.
Republican lawmakers around the country are moving quickly to remake higher education in their conservative vision. About 76 percent of conservative Republicans said colleges affect the country negatively. In red states, attacks from the state legislature and the governors are damaging higher education and its role as a public good.

Higher education outside of STEM is little more than 4 or more extra years of Liberal indoctrination that start kids off with debt they'll never pay off and a lifetime of wage-slavery.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
The writers at Vox are great examples of this fact.
