  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.

  Makes you wonder how many of them own timeshares.

    Every one of them that could get financing and met a timeshare salesman.

  Honestly, people on both extremes of the political spectrum fall for woo.

  • LarryTheMatador@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Both sides then? 🤡

      Both sides what? Can fall for woo and scams? Yes, that’s what I said.

    I’d even extend that to just anyone who can’t think critically and is looking for somebody to feed opinions to them.

    • iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Well, yes, my point was those people exist at both extremes. Anyone who thinks far left can’t fall for scams and woo need to look no further than Goop.

        Goop? the Gwyneth Paltrow thing aimed at liberal suburban moms? thats not even remotely far left.
