Hello Danger Corps!
We went looking for the strangest Republican campaign ads of 2026 and discovered that political consultants have apparently been left unsupervised with artificial intelligence.
There’s an AI-generated James Talarico musical, a candidate transformed into Captain America, a talking raccoon discussing Ramadan, enough gunfire to alarm the neighbors and an attack ad suggesting America should be deeply suspicious of... yoga.
But underneath all the glorious stupidity is something worth talking about: campaigns can now create convincing images of real opponents doing things they never actually did. So naturally, we laughed at the ads first and had the existential crisis afterward.
If political news has you exhausted, that’s exactly why we’re building this place. We believe laughter and activism belong together, and that people need somewhere to get the truth, find some joy and remember they’re not alone in this mess.
