"It's bad enough that our sitting president sits up in either the Oval Office or in some golf cart somewhere, posting racist and/or Democrat-hating AI-generated videos during a time that would be better spent - oh, I don't know - running a country that is currently operating without a funded federal government. But, since Trump has been back in office, the social media feeds the White House and other federal agencies have also become little more than government-run 4chan threads for MAGA rubes who communicate their political ideologies through memes because they don't read books."
"DHS also offered its own caption in a tweet that read, "FAFO. If you threaten or lay hands on our law enforcement officers we will hunt you down and you will find out, really quick. We'll see you cowards soon." Before we get deeper into this, we just need to acknowledge that even if we couldn't see this is a DHS point - we know that no young Black man in the history of young-Black-mandom would ever have come up with either of these captions."
Federal social media accounts under President Donald Trump have adopted meme-driven and aggressive tones that mimic internet subcultures. The president posts racially charged AI-generated videos while the federal government operates without a funded budget. White House and agency feeds resemble 4chan threads and circulate MAGA-oriented memes. The Department of Homeland Security posted a video of Black teenagers with a caption invoking ICE and a threatening tweet promising to "hunt you down." The attempted use of slang and trends produced inauthentic, racially insensitive captions and demonstrated poor judgment in official communications.
