Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving bunch. I’ll pour one out for these poor souls. Ha!

    I feel bad for all the normal family members who’s lives are significantly impacted by their trump cult family members

    I see a lot of handwringing in society over kids not being able to handle themselves online.

    I’d be more worried about senior citizens.

    My favourite quote from the article

    Truth Social seems to be a target-rich environment for people who are easy to con.

    I wish I knew how to grift. Honestly if these people want to give away their money, I’d take it. I wish I could come up with a way to scam these fucks

      Start selling some dumb shit, like trump diapers, a trump doll that says “grab em by the pussy” or some other dumb ass shit his base likes. They’d snatch that shit up in a heartbeat. Take some of the proceeds for yourself, set up an account to put some into to donate to blue causes and candidates, and rinse/repeat. I guarantee that’s what many of them are doing now. (Aside from the donate to blue part of course)

      I mean, trump sneakers, trump bibles, trump watches, trump coins, trump assassination sneakers, you can’t make this shit up.

        Is anyone selling bullets with Trump’s name engraved on them?

        I’m trying to decide if the MAGAts would be throwing money at that idea, or if they would freak out.

        I think the way with less overhead is to invent Trump crypto and other financial schemes. People are always looking to make money quick.

      I know the secret to scamming these idiots. You could make $10,000 per month easily. I’ll let you in on the scam, you just need to send me $100.

    It’s interesting to me that the generation of get rich quick schemes is having this problem. It’s a dilemma for sure. I remember some of these same types always impressing on me the importance of hard work and saving. The grasshopper and the ant parable and not jumping off bridges just because your friends are doing it.

    Just amazes me because liberals that taught me about caring and mindfulness are the ones who are resistant to the scammers in their old age. And the ones who claimed to be conservative and financially responsible are the ones with mortgages and complaints about how they are going to have hardships with retirement.

    Learning from their failures is all we can do. Try to prepare the next generation for dealing with this new reality.
