I work in the anti-crypto scam industry. I applaud their efforts. Ethical fuckery.

I can’t even blame them.
Yup.
I mean, how do you not fish that pool?
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....

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?
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.
What… like, more?
I’ll allow it.
Why make it hard on yourself when idiots self-select into an easy target audience?

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 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".
They'll claim the Deep State got them
Turns out they were part of the derp state all along
Isn't that what those supporters are there for? .... to be scammed
It's just different scammers now.
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.
A fool and their money...
Scammers usually try to target 🎯 gullible people like old people. Usually people who don't understand what's going on.
If you're gonna type out target, why the emoji?
MAGA Supporters would be reading it 🤣
I have had the misfortune of Mixing shows for Newsmax....that is literally their stick

Not sure whether "let them fight" or "spidermen pointing" meme is more appropriate
Is there really a difference if the money goes to crypto guys or some GOP PAC? They are both scammers from the word go.
And as scammers prefer to target the most gullible idiots, they already have a perfect target group for their "business" with the MAGA brains.
The money going to crypto guys has less negative impact and might even help some 3rd world north Koreans actually afford food. Any money going to the GOP only brings pain and suffering.

Of course. Why wouldn't a con artist go after a group that has already self-selected for gullibility?
