Unfortunately the internet opened the door for a lot of these MAGA grifters.

How is that a grift if it’s cost him losing his retail sellers?

I think Lindell was a true believer, but you can "lose everything" as a grifter if you can't supply the echo chamber with its red meat, or make a comment that has them turn on you, or just go off the deep end (like Rekieta, Milo, etc.).

It's kind of like cult leaders (but crazier because there is competition for the consumers of content here unlike in a cult). They HAVE to keep raising the stakes or else they risk the whole thing collapsing. When you have to constantly keep coming up with more stuff to move the needle, after you've desensitized your audience so much, it fricks people up.

That's why so many cult leaders end up so insane and on drugs or raping kids and killing people. Once you start this train, there ain't no stopping. If Trump wins in November, and these grifters are no longer exist as the marginalized/oppressed, responding to what they perceive as the powerful side...and they become the oppressor/dominant side, you're going to see some crazy shite b/c the demand will dry up.

I think Trump posing with a Bible for a picture was pretty dishonest, the guy couldn’t even name a favorite Bible verse when asked, because it was “too personal.”

The Trump bible v. Trump NFT is a nice discussion

I ordered 10k. In November, I'll either sell them at a premium to Patriots or I'll send them to kids in Africa.

Are you one of those AR15 board jizz guzzlers who came over here during the dog contest?

Congrats on your mutt winning the contest for the crippled lady by using disinformation to rile up your fellow retards and bots to pad your votes.

And congrats on voting for a guy who literally finger fricked his 12 year old daughter.

We should all strive to be like you.

I'd say the Trump black cards and shite like that, but I also think most politicians do these things.

Trump University was a grift as well, but that was a long time ago and it sounds like something that just kind of fell apart rather than something that started out as a grift.

I know him. He is not.

I don't think he knows I know who he is, so I won't reveal anything about him. Once I figured it out, though, I looked it up and I assume he came here for LSU Baseball.

I can guarantee you he is not a Biden voter

Real estate seminars are almost always a grift.

The best part of that entire thing was how sure OTers were that they were going to show ARFCOM what was up.

As cynical as this sounds, I'd say that the biggest example of "MAGA grifting" is probably Benny Johnson, followed closely by Jeremy Griggs (Geeks and Gamers/DDayCobra)

They mainly guzzle law enforcement jizz. Not a huge LE presence here that I've noticed.
