What strikes me most about it (I posted a related link on this AI a few days ago) is that, as usual, the right wing cannot win honestly, so they outright manipulate, massage, "fake news" and unduly influence us and overall political/societal outcomes any way they can. Gerrymandering, voter suppression, AI manipulations (I referred to it as "brainwashing", which is basically what it boils down to) and so on. They can't win by honest means such as "letting people make up their own minds", because their entire platform is based on turning people against each other so they're distracted while corporations swoop in to take money away from everyone and keep it for themselves. That is basically their game plan: sow hate, divide the republic, profit. It's just such an ugly game, and that they win is the only thing I fear might become inevitable.
