ChatGPT suggests factually correct or popular policies… The death penalty is objectively more expensive than life in prison, and the right to abortion is supported by a majority (in the US at least). You’re basically doing [a steven colbert bit]( [VIDEO] ), but unironically.
By the way, not knowing the history of the reality thing I looked it up - it came from a Colbert joke about W Bush's popularity [VIDEO]
I think it's only fair to credit Stephen Colbert here: [VIDEO] For those of you unfamiliar, he was a well-known and serious political pundit who in recent years has been performing as a character (of the same name) who parodies milquetoast late night centre-left almost-comedy.
