Reply to comment by MarketingFilms in Sidney Powell’s nonprofit raised $16 million as she spread election falsehoods by John-Farson

It's easy to separate idiots from their money. Just give them a reason to feel special and outraged.

Sure it's simple, first, you have to remove any shred of ethics or morals along with any conscience whatsoever - the con in con-man stands for confidence which you have to have 100% in yourself to sucker the rubes.

When I used to do debate I was told all the time I would make a great televangelist or tent revival preacher. Other than not being religious I just can not be objectively evil and take advantage of people. Same reason I can not work in sales - I am really good at it, but I hate myself selling people things they don't want and or don't need. At the end of the day, I have to be able to look myself in the face in the mirror.

And you have to be okay with lying to cancer patients in order to get their money as well.

For real, I’m out on the streets every week having to convince people to give $25 or $10/month to groups trying to make sure they have clean air or not have plastic in their blood and these guys reel in 30x what my office could raise in a year just by being a fascist

This reminds me during the onset of covid.... All the crazy amount of grifters that were advertising health products and virus killing sprays on Fox News radio. I'm always listening to different satellite radio channels and I purposely listen to stuff I don't agree with like Fox just so I can know what the idiots are thinking.

I swear there was a one month period for anytime I'd be scanning through Fox News you would hear these constant advertisements for bogus products that you've never heard advertised on any other kind of radio station let alone would ever see in a store. It was just perfect fly by night let's make some health products because of covid right now and sell them only on Fox News. Pretty much the modern day version of late night only TV products targeted towards senior citizens.

Ironically so much of the Fox News segments would be hosts debating how real covid is while ads in between segments were for these new "health" products to protect you from covid. I remember that one was this "made in America " keychain with uv lasers to sanitize areas. A lot of the products seem to be new super strength vitamin pills.

Say what you want about these grifters but they're not stupid when it comes to hustling for money and knowing their perfect target market.
