This crowd is exactly who to sell scams and bullshit to.
Everyday it becomes harder and harder to not hawk a bunch of junk like "anti-5G necklaces" to the Trump crowd and make some much needed money
I bet if you rolled a piece of tin foil into a necklace and slapped a maga pin on it they'd buy it in a heart beat
Right!? I'd set up a C&C machine to churn out Jesus Trump shit to sell on ebay if it weren't for my conscience in knowing that exploiting anyone, even those you don't like, is morally wrong, and the fact that it'd make me vomit to contribute anything to the new Reich.
Just an fyi, it's actually CNC machine. Computer Numerical Control.
Makes you wonder how many of them own timeshares.
Every one of them that could get financing and met a timeshare salesman.
Y’all if we could just eject all our morals and ethics for a few short years we could plunder these fuckheads back to the stone age and use the money to feed schoolkids and pay teachers more. With MAGA and Q It’s just grift within grift within grift, all the way down.
The only thing stopping us is that it’s wrong. Pfft. We suck.
Its been hard. I'm barely getting by and all I have to do is find a tiny bit of money to make Trump bobbles. But I can't do it. I can't join the endless river of mud. I can't.
Is there a market for anti-trump bobbles? I imagine he's wearing a hat that says, "not my worst idea" (from his recent idea about a migrant ufc league). Then you pull a string and his fat little head bounces while it rotates through several quotes.
I hear you. I really do.
I would like to think that people are doing that, but we just don't know about it, yet. Just like I hope there are some people signing up for project 2025 with the intent to sabotage it, if they get picked.
Probably not happening, but it would be nice if it was.
Eh, I just don't know how to start
- make up something they’ll give you money for
- put up a website about the thing with payment methods
- ???
- Profit!
All the usual stuff you’d normally have to figure out, “Does it work”, “Is it real”, “Does it come in a suppository” are all questions you’ll never need to worry about answering correctly. Have fun with it!
When you can’t see the con, you’re the mark
Did the NYT finally catch onto the act? His ass wasn't off the gold escalator before the grifters set in.
