no i hate them
It's all going to scammers anyway
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.
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....
It's not immoral to truthfully tell someone they are donating to stop election fraud.
