Part 4/7:
Comparing the Humor and Mockery of Different Leaders
The discussion then shifted to specific figures, notably Gavin Newsom, California's governor, who is mentioned as having created memes mocking Donald Trump. Although the interlocutor acknowledged that Newsom has engaged in social media teasing, they argued that such satire is vastly different from offensive or shocking content, such as the hypothetical or actual AI-generated images depicting Trump or other figures in degrading or grotesque scenarios.
The core argument was about taste and decency; some forms of political humor, like satire involving AI and exaggerated images, are considered more acceptable or less harmful than explicit or vulgar memes that could incite outrage or perpetuate disrespect.
