Female MAGA influencers tend to do well on such platforms for a few reasons. They’re a relative rarity in the MAGA movement: Unlike their Gen Z male counterparts, 18- to 29-year-old women overwhelmingly skew liberal. Young MAGA women are therefore “more attention-grabbing,” Wirtschafter says, citing the uproar over the likely AI-generated “Swifties for Trump” photo Trump posted on TruthSocial during the 2024 campaign as one example.
The same logic, however, apparently does not apply to left-wing influencer accounts, as Sam learned when he created a short-lived liberal counterpart for Emily on Instagram: “Democrats know that it’s AI slop, so they don’t engage as much.” ((AI-generated MAGA girl creator Indian male med student) Sam’s explanation for why MAGA influencer accounts work is blunt: “The MAGA crowd is made up of dumb people—like, super dumb people. And they fall for it.”)
The palpable contempt that the AI-MAGA girl creator felt for his customers…
Yes and no. It’s usually not outright contempt like in this article. Pity, sometimes, but usually not outright contempt. Usually they try to avoid having any strong feelings about the men, positive or negative. Because staying disengaged with the men helps them maintain some professional distance and separate their work from their life.

The clients that were the hardest for my ex to stay detached from were the dudes who clearly just wanted a pretty girl to listen to them vent for a few minutes. Lots of the men were clearly just extremely lonely and had nobody in their personal circles to talk to. She always joked that she was cheaper than therapy, and therapists would probably lose their license if they kept her dress code. But that pity made it hard for her to stay detached from those clients.
