It is highly suspect how the worst players seem to be able to constantly fundraise.

It's easy to separate idiots from their money. Just give them a reason to feel special and outraged.

Sure it's simple, first, you have to remove any shred of ethics or morals along with any conscience whatsoever - the con in con-man stands for confidence which you have to have 100% in yourself to sucker the rubes.

Every single one.

When I used to do debate I was told all the time I would make a great televangelist or tent revival preacher. Other than not being religious I just can not be objectively evil and take advantage of people. Same reason I can not work in sales - I am really good at it, but I hate myself selling people things they don't want and or don't need. At the end of the day, I have to be able to look myself in the face in the mirror.

And you have to be okay with lying to cancer patients in order to get their money as well.

For real, I’m out on the streets every week having to convince people to give $25 or $10/month to groups trying to make sure they have clean air or not have plastic in their blood and these guys reel in 30x what my office could raise in a year just by being a fascist

This reminds me during the onset of covid.... All the crazy amount of grifters that were advertising health products and virus killing sprays on Fox News radio. I'm always listening to different satellite radio channels and I purposely listen to stuff I don't agree with like Fox just so I can know what the idiots are thinking.

I swear there was a one month period for anytime I'd be scanning through Fox News you would hear these constant advertisements for bogus products that you've never heard advertised on any other kind of radio station let alone would ever see in a store. It was just perfect fly by night let's make some health products because of covid right now and sell them only on Fox News. Pretty much the modern day version of late night only TV products targeted towards senior citizens.

Ironically so much of the Fox News segments would be hosts debating how real covid is while ads in between segments were for these new "health" products to protect you from covid. I remember that one was this "made in America " keychain with uv lasers to sanitize areas. A lot of the products seem to be new super strength vitamin pills.

Say what you want about these grifters but they're not stupid when it comes to hustling for money and knowing their perfect target market.

I occasionally get sms spam like, "reply NOW to help President TRUMP secure the 2024 election and stop the steal!"

Others pull much harder on the emotional heart strings. I can certainly see parts of my family falling into the trap and giving money to help "political Jesus".

Just saw a commercial for "citizens of sanity" during playoff baseball. I hate to name them just for the attention it provides. Jesus Christ. Forget Canada, I want to move to a deserted island. Shit, the Middle East actually looks enticing next to these crazy fucks.

But that's the point. Sow outrage, and let your opponents deal with that while you continue to act in bad faith and in the shadows. All it takes is stirring your uneducated, racist base. You're so busy treating the symptoms, the disease keeps on digging in with a smile.

So she has more to lose to Dominion?

Or is that money protected?

Thanos_Stomps t1_iscccet wrote

That money is protected, at least from any judgements against her personally.

It says her nonprofit but it’s not hers. States vary on board requirements but all require a board of directors who are responsible for the nonprofit. Nonprofits do not have ownership.

How come the people who believe this obviously illogical on its face, completely non fact based rhetoric have so much money?

I mean most high paying jobs require basic logic, research, and math skills but if you have even two of those three then you would never believe anything that she says...

Is this because we don't have enough inheritance tax and therefore generational wealth is built up that supports a ton of people who did not or could not have earned the money they now have access to... or.... Seriously I don't understand

I think it’s all that oil money getting dumped onto the land owners, and the land owners being hillbilly farmers with suddenly a huge amount of money from, let’s say fracking, don’t know better. They just see a white man and agree.

They are making the money more from many small donations than from high earners giving large amounts. That being said, there are a lot of careers that pay well and require a valuable skillset, but not deep intellectual abilities.

That must be like the donations to "Build the Wall" fund. Such a wide, circuitous route that took right to Bannon & to tRump's bank accounts.

It's hard to imagine. Some people must be dumber than dirt. Hell, some of the leaders are forced to confess that they've screwed over their "constituents", yet those idiots keep giving away their money to the crooks.

You are a piece of work. if you're a troll, I guess you need to get attention somehow. If you really believe the crap that the right is spouting, you really are mentally challenged.

And for your information, I was raised in a very traditional family - probably well before the excess sperm ran down your mother's leg. Once upon a time, I even identified as a Republican. However, I learned critical thinking skills and saw through all of their bullshit and that made me reject them. Hopefully, some day you'll grow up to do the same.
