Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving bunch. I’ll pour one out for these poor souls. Ha!
If they weren’t gullible, they wouldn’t be trump supporters.
That’s great. I’d rather have them getting scammed than them donating that money to their Nazi party
I see a lot of handwringing in society over kids not being able to handle themselves online.
I’d be more worried about senior citizens.
Oh boy Time to check in on my dumb elderly parents who went down the trump scam
Can’t spell “conservative” without “con”.
Because they share an etymology. Con+serve, from Latin for together+oversee, and con+fide, together+trust.
It’s like an all you scam buffet
I don’t feel any empathy to those people and they’re easy to scam, so I might need to check this business opportunity.
Agreed
I feel absolutely zero sympathy for these people. It’s not a platform full of Rhodes scholars either so it’s like shooting fish in a barrel
It’s roads scholars… And the pretty lady on the internet app said I will have all of my things back when I pay her my IRS fines with Walmart iTunes cards or Amazon…
… I thought my comment sounded ignorant enough to come of sarcastically as I had intended. Irregardless, I’ll be more pacific.
Well no shit…okay fair enough
The type of people who would be on the site or follow that man…is anyone surprised they are an extremely gullable crowd? It’s almost sad.
Truth Social has more than one user?
I guess its not actually all bots if there is money being sold after all
I’m just as surprised as you are.
estimated 607,000 monthly users (as of July 2023)
But how many of those are bots?
So … It’s a little bit smaller than Lemmy?
🤣 a bunch of communists built a more successful platform for free than a billionaire with unlimited free press exposure.
“Communists”
They mean the people who originally coded Lemmy, who are Marxist-Leninist communists. (Hence why they chose .ml for lemmy.ml.)
I thought lemmy was more like 45k monthly active tho
But almost no bots
Lololololol
And of the ones that aren’t bots, how many are scammers and their sockpuppets?
Subtract the number of scammed people from that total and you’ll have your answer 👍
How many of those AREN’T bots?
How many trump family members are still alive and don’t hate Donald?
Good point.
Oh no! Anyway…
lol fuckem
My favourite quote from the article
Truth Social seems to be a target-rich environment for people who are easy to con.
It’s almost like it was designed specifically for that.
I wish I knew how to grift. Honestly if these people want to give away their money, I’d take it. I wish I could come up with a way to scam these fucks
Start selling some dumb shit, like trump diapers, a trump doll that says “grab em by the pussy” or some other dumb ass shit his base likes. They’d snatch that shit up in a heartbeat. Take some of the proceeds for yourself, set up an account to put some into to donate to blue causes and candidates, and rinse/repeat. I guarantee that’s what many of them are doing now. (Aside from the donate to blue part of course)
I mean, trump sneakers, trump bibles, trump watches, trump coins, trump assassination sneakers, you can’t make this shit up.
Is anyone selling bullets with Trump’s name engraved on them?
I’m trying to decide if the MAGAts would be throwing money at that idea, or if they would freak out.
I think the way with less overhead is to invent Trump crypto and other financial schemes. People are always looking to make money quick.
Good point! Maybe diversify your schemes for maximum profit.
I know the secret to scamming these idiots. You could make $10,000 per month easily. I’ll let you in on the scam, you just need to send me $100.
I’ve only got $50, can someone loan me the other half, and I’ll pay you back when I’ve got that $10,000
Thoughts and prayers.
As the old adage goes, a fool and his money are soon parted.
Comedy
