Want to become (legally) wealthy? [View all]

It's easy. All you have to do is scam Republican voters into giving you money. Lots of money.

Want examples? Look at Trump. Look at the Cyber Ninjas "auditing" Arizona ballots. Look at Marjorie Taylor Greene who has raised millions just by being insane.

Okay, I guess I'm describing much of today's Republican Party. Nonetheless, if you have no scruples and don't give a shit if you're taking the life savings from fools, come up with something incredibly stupid, publicize it, and people will give you a bunch of big bucks. (Hell, you can rent a building, call it a "Temple for Worshiping Trump," and people will pay as much as you want to enter.)

Many have profited greatly by peddling snake oil to fools. Seems that in this 21st Century, the price of snake oil has gone through the roof. Too bad humans didn't pay enough attention to reality and science. Stupid will literally be the death of us.
