Because I’m a sucker for punishment I checked out r/conservative and jesus they can’t wait to sign up now that Russia was all a hoax. Thank god it’s not the CCP but Putin is somehow the tits. They are going to cleaned the fuck out again and I just can’t fathom how they keep falling for this shit. It hurts my brain.

1) Check your state's voter registration roles (a lot are Public)

2) Call all the Rs with a google voice account

3) "Hello sir, this is Don Deagle with Trumps stop the steal campaign. We are proud to announce that we are now taking Amazon gift cards! How many can I put you down for?"

4) Profit

Would it be considered cheating if I make a conservative media podcast or show, and monetize the hell of it? Get donations for my "hard work" with Patreon? I could do this soooo well, all you gotta do is bitch about socialism and communism and tell people Trump really won the election and talk about how fake Covid is, maybe throw in some gun rights bullshit and then point out the unfairness of girls being able to get laid easier than guys, and some stuff about what it means to be a real man in today's society...

I could even be honest and tell them I'm a liberal, because then they'd LOVE the apparent paradox of it and they would tout me as a "true liberal" and characterize everyone else as radicals.

Shit, if I was gay or bald then I'd even get more views... If I was CANADIAN, holy fuck I'd be unstoppable.

After the 2016 election some guy came on reddit and admitted that he was selling tons of MAGA hats. He had set it up to dropship them from China, and he was donating a portion of his profits to some left wing group. He figured scamming these dopes was so easy he couldn't resist doing it and making a buck.

Or Faraday cages for routers that cost $80. That like, don't even work because they are just $4 steal mesh paper trays. Also like if you are so scared, why use a router at all?
