Grifters of all walks of life have long valued conservative orgs, because they are suckers, and a lot of them have done the hard work of contact lists.

Cultists are easy to swindle.
And donate to a left leaning charity? Chaotic good
Nah, just targeting the low hanging fruit in a get rich quick scheme. I’m not crying though.
Just be a hypocrite, hide hate behind a thin veneer of love, and you can sell any MAGA dipshit the Brooklyn bridge.
Why do you think trump started peddling Jesus bullshit last time he ran even though he’s not even remotely cristian or religious. He’ll shill anything as long as he thinks it’ll profit him.
I can’t even blame them.
Yup.
I mean, how do you not fish that pool?
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.
This is brilliant. Someone absolutely needs to do this.
Morals unfortunately.
It’s not immoral to truthfully tell someone they are donating to stop election fraud.
The moral thing to do is disarm them of their money to stop it going towards Trump/etc.
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.
That goes for both…
*phish
*ghoti
no i hate them
It’s all going to scammers anyway
Why make it hard on yourself when idiots self-select into an easy target audience?
TBH I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re not being targeted at all but rather align perfectly with the real target audience: lonely, expendable income, low intelligence, low understanding of tech or finance, aging population.
What… like, more?
I work in the anti-crypto scam industry. I applaud their efforts. Ethical fuckery.
That’s an industry now? What do you guys do?
Quite a lot, actually. This is really a summation and not comprehensive.
- Evaluate an environment after incident:
-
- looking for IOCs, determine spread
-
- Determine backup status and restore if possible
-
- Return environment to healthy state (AD restore, replication, networking, etc.,)
-
- Lockdown of security holes
-
- Advise on best practices going forward
- Decrypt environment if client pays ransom
etc., etc.
Depending on the complexity of the environment, this can take a lot of time and effort: much bigger than most internal teams are capable of doing. A client I had in Feb-Mar lasted a total of 3200 hours of work between 12 people on my team across 34 locations to unfuck the situation.
That’s… an industry?
But see, the truly smart scammer would have a potentially decent coin and name it maga-coin. They’re looking for anything except government currency…the super scam, or is it?
Pretty sure there is a Maga coin already.
God. What a sad fucking rabbit hole I just went down.
Isn’t that what those supporters are there for? … to be scammed
It’s just different scammers now.
It’s not the onion. But now the whole world is the Onion.
I can think of no better irony at this point than The Onion switching directions and becoming a real news outlet.
And future generations wokld look at their archived 80s/90s stories, and think they were real.
And thus the cycle begins anew.
That’s brilliant.
You know how once in a blue moon you look at news story that’s sounds completely crazy and go “huh”? Like when buzzfeed suddenly started using all their clickbait money to fund good, legitimate journamism?
This would be that.
Or like when all the news outlets were reporting that the Queen had died. AND EVERYBODY BELIEVED THEM!!!
She’s not dead. She’s still out there. Roaming the streets. Seeking justice among a seedy criminal underbelly, seeking personial closure for the deaths of her parents in an alley when she was a child.
…wait, I might be thinking of Ted Turner.
I’ll allow it.
I thought the NFTs from Trump are a scam, or is this another scam?
I’ll have you know those NFTs were worth millions!!! For like 2 seconds when people paid money for NFTs still
The fact people bought NFTs just proves that crypto bros just buy into hype without understanding the technology.
I knew NFTs were bullshit from the start because I actually took the time to understand how they “worked”.
It’s a plus if trump’s supporters are scammed before he can fleece them, let the convicted felons well dry up while other scammers get rich.
