        I ask myself this every day. Why not just sell some MAGA Jesus trinkets?

        When I am feeling more altruistic than greedy, why not toss up a bunch of “PATRIOTS THE COUNTRY NEEDS YOUR HELP TO FIGHT ELECTION FRAUD” and then just donate all the proceeds to campaigns for people against insurrection and fake electors. There’s no lie or fraud on that, just exploiting the bias of delusional clowns. I guess “patriots” is a lie, that’s about it.

          Trump supports aren’t real people. Their sentience has been classified as below that of plants. Morals don’t apply.

            I’m not going to say they’re not real or not sentient. But I will absolutely say that they are selfish. They lack the empathy required to understand how things will affect others. They lack the willingness to sacrifice for the greater good. They lack the humility required to understand that they could be wrong, and the critical reasoning required to change their views in the face of new evidence.

            Almost every conservative I’ve ever met is either extremely rich or lives in microcosm. Hell, I’ve got extended family that have never travelled outside of their hometown and anything foreign or different to them is either ridiculed or shunned.

            They want a social hierarchy, and they want their place in it preserved. God forbid people get equitable standing.

          It’s not immoral to truthfully tell someone they are donating to stop election fraud.

    Good choice, most are dumb as fuck. If I were evil I would absolutely grift them. They make it so easy!

      They’re already being grifted, they have already passed the first filter.

      People sometimes wonder why scam emails and phone calls are so obvious, with mis-spellings, bad grammar and poor English. The thing is that they do this on purpose. Running a scam takes time and energy, you want to work marks that you know can be manipulated easily, and if someone can’t determine that an email from “micosaft.pAypal-Customre-Sercicve.com” isn’t legit, they’re VERY likely to buy the story that they have to send money via Western Union to some random address in Kazakhstan to get their share of the king’s inheritance.

      Being in maga is basically that. If you’re wearing a red hat and waving flags and spouting off FOX news lines to anyone who will listen, you’re a mark.

    Scammers usually try to target 🎯 gullible people like old people. Usually people who don’t understand what’s going on.

    Is there really a difference if the money goes to crypto guys or some GOP PAC? They are both scammers from the word go.

    And as scammers prefer to target the most gullible idiots, they already have a perfect target group for their “business” with the MAGA brains.

      The money going to crypto guys has less negative impact and might even help some 3rd world north Koreans actually afford food. Any money going to the GOP only brings pain and suffering.

    Not sure whether “let them fight” or “spidermen pointing” meme is more appropriate
