Well, shocker, it turns out like client like lawyer. He's funnelled millions in donations for his Christian advocacy outfit to his personal and family enrichment.
If you wanted to scam people and wanted to maximise your profit/effort ratio but could only use one keyword to target people what would the best one be? Christian? Patriot?

Patriot gets my vote. Christian is good, but too vague.

The amount of blind loyalty that the US is awesome at everything and are unwilling to even engage in even a mild counterargument is staggeringly high.

Got it in one.

But you can use multiple signifiers to maximize your return. I would call my right wing grift shop Christian Patriots for American Freedom.

In short, a crime is whatever the House says it is, and a conviction by the Senate is final.

I agree with you, in that, for example, the House would use umbrella crimes such as "Abuse of Power" or "Corruption".
Yeah all this. All along people have argued if trump has committed an impeachable crime. However that is entirely in the eyes of the house. They could fit pretty much anything in there if they chose but it would require the senate to convict and their own careers on the line if it were Malicious/unpopular.

That is so good I'm fighting the urge to donate money.

I actually feel like we could make good money by creating a right wing Super PAC and soliciting donations. We know all the buttons to push with the deplorables, just gotta get organized.

How could this be anything other than "American"? With "America" as a close second and then USA after that. Then freedom, patriots etc

I used to joke about this and also the possibility of creating conspiracy sites. I'm not joking anymore and having some discussions with an SEO friend and a couple of content writers about it now

Both correct, but that doesn't change the fact that a large part of the remaining population furiously jerks it to the word.

Actually the really next level play would be to do this, and then use the funding to try and create an even more right wing party than the current GOP (maybe even an actual Tea Party) that serves as a catchall for the current alt right populists and the racist whites. Not only is there a lot of money there but the best part is it could split the right wing vote and open up a lot of opportunities for Dems to win in some heavily right wing areas.

We actually saw this in my province in Canada last year. The Conservative party ruled here for 50 years or so with hardly any challengers, a near monopoly. But then suddenly within the last 8 or 9 years they got attacked from the right by a party called the Wildrose, who gained a lot of traction and momentum, especially from the rural areas. It all culminated in an election where those two parties split the right vote and allowed the NDP, which is even more left than Trudeau's Liberals, to win a majority government. Be great to see the same thing happen in, say, Kansas or Kentucky or somewhere like that.

Even if there are some rules that a certain percentage has to go to politics, we can use it to support the token republican running in the California senate primary.

Knowing USA#1 you'd probably end up winning.

Not that any Trumpkin would object to this, but Drumpf is acting fast to create a line of mediocre hotels in Trumpkin territory to cash in.

That would be fine too though because after winning obviously you just institute liberal policies anyway.
06-27-2017 , 01:02 PM
No, that wouldn't be likely because your candidates would have to all be true believers. That's the point.

Regardless if the center wants to push the current iteration of the GOP back in the stone age where it belongs, that's the six sigma play to get it done. We need to fight even dirtier than they are in order to counter things like Crosscheck, operation Red Map and the huge gerrymandering effort in the House. A false flag operation is just the way to do that imo

Best part is you could easily get the alt right simpletons on board like Rush and Ann Coulter and their ilk, so it would be easier than one might realize. The hard part would be keeping it all secret.

That's the easiest part, we just follow Daddy's lead and call anybody investigating us "fake news" or a liberal and imply that they're scared of how truly conservative we are.

Saw something about this a couple of weeks back. Is this good strategy? Do people in Trumpkin territory often stay in local hotels? Or are these generally frequented by out-of-towners who may or may not be Trumpkins?

It's in the other thread, but I'll post it here too:

Mitch McConnell delaying health care vote; will not happen this week.
