MAGA filmmaker buried in mockery after falling for 'AI manosphere goonslop'

Far-right filmmaker and conspiracy theorist Dinesh D'Souza posted a peculiar video to X on Thursday evening, showing what appeared to be a podcast of a young woman explaining why it's natural for young women to be seduced by older men.

Among other things, the woman in the video said, "It goes deeper than you think. It is not because they're broken gold-diggers or being manipulative. It is because older men activate something that younger men haven't developed yet. Young women bring youth, beauty, curiosity, softness. Older men bring experience, confidence, emotional control, and safety. That pairing has worked for thousands of years because of what? Biology and polarity."

"This is very provocative. It helped me understand why in my grandparent’s generation and before that, men were typically 10 years older than the women they married," wrote D'Souza, who is best known for being pardoned by Trump for campaign finance crimes, and for producing the widely-debunked documentary on 2020 election fraud, "2,000 Mules."

The one problem, as many people were quick to note in their laughing responses to D'Souza on X and Bluesky: the clip of the young woman was generated by artificial intelligence.

"Over on X, the Everything App, serious conservative thinker Dinesh D'Souza shared a video of an AI-generated woman on a fake podcast he seemingly thought was real, telling the audience that young women should get with older men," wrote politics and media analyst Parker Molloy. "Dude, wtf?"

"It's funny how these far-right guys buy into the 'women want older men because they have the emotional control younger men lack," while themselves being non-stop emotional trainwrecks,' wrote podcaster Aaron Ross Powell.

"Dinesh D’Souza getting his talking points from AI manosphere goonslop," wrote filmmaker Jeremiah Warren.

"Dinesh D’Souza: This AI-generated babe talking about how hot she finds older men is making some pretty good points!" wrote Will Sommer of The Bulwark.

"This is like the second time he has posted an AI generated woman spouting conservative talking points my lord," wrote Progress Chamber analyst Tahra Hoops.
