Correct. This is what the GOP is now. It's entirely filled by grifters who find some way to tap into peoples' dissatisfaction with Democrats. It has nothing to do with ideas or ideology or charisma or even anger in some cases. Mtg got in with qanon. Matt gaetz got in by having a rich dad. George Santos got in because it was a good year for Republicans in new york. And trump got in because he ran against Hillary Clinton.
Nobody cares about the results. They probably don't even care about the current trans panic. They stopped caring about the election years ago. And now they don't even care about q.
This is the modern republican party. And by the looks of it they overdosed on nihilism

Maybe starting a new religion isn’t a bad thing. All religions are more like clustered philosophies and sets of rules on how to live a good life; the mythology and associated deities are secondary to that purpose
It wouldn’t be hard to make a new religion more ethical than Mormonism at least

I've had that thought, call it the Church of Autotheism, and base it around the idea we are all our own gods, in that we are responsible for our own actions, and the consequences of those actions. We are gods because we change the world every time we interact it with, no matter how minor that interaction is or how subtle the change caused is.
The hope being that if you make people aware of their actions and the consequences that they would choose to be good. Which is probably wishful thinking at best.

It would fail as a religion
Every religion advocates for consequentialism. Every single one.
The purpose of Gods whether they be Allah, Buddha, Vishnu, Ahura Mazda, The Jade Emperor, etc. is to remind people that human beings are not Gods; that human beings are ultimately falliable and that there is a reason mankind is in a fallen state, whether it be sin, haram, desire, karma, etc. Religion doesn’t work without a direct figure of worship for this reason

Yea I know. It doesn't come with that fear of divine or cosmic retribution that hooks people.
Can't scare people if you whole thing is "everything is chaos, nothing means anything, so why not try being nice to each other to make things more pleasant?" except dressed up in theological language.

Especially if you're a minority. They'll build you the biggest, most expensive pedestal you've ever seen so they can show the world "See? We can't possibly be oppressors! Here is someone we want to oppress that agrees with us!“
And when you've finally helped them accomplish their goals, you'll have the honor of being second against the wall.
Anyway, what this guy claimed years ago and what this guy claims today simply doesn't matter. His word is worthless and trying to sort the truth from the lies is a fools errand.

All sorts of random pills, gold scams, objective trash as seen on TV stuff, scam finance stuff, etc, etc. All of this on prime time cable. You don't see them on regular media because market research is telling advertisers that conservatives are the stupidest demographic.

Dude, it’s getting sad at this point.
It’s blatantly obvious to anyone paying attention, and I hate to say it because again it makes me sad, but conservatives are rubes. These people have progressively seen how gullible they are and now there’s a feeding frenzy.
They smelled blood in the water when they saw Trump’s popularity rose prior to the 2016 election and they haven’t stopped since.

Imagine if we took money out of politics and politicians were only working for the betterment of the people. We wouldn't have nearly as many of these stories where a conservative person is looking down on or doing something they say they're against.
Shit, if our politicians weren't suckling the teat of the rich we would likely have healthcare, people would be fed, and this manufactured inflation that's making us all poorer would have been nipped I'm the bud back when they first thought they could pull one over on the working class.
Instead, we just get the stick.

Take the excess campaign dollars out of it. Don’t allow ANY money to be donated. Let every candidate start with the same dollar amount, maybe 5-10 million raised from donations and use it for expenses as they tour across the country, meeting the voters. Once the campaign money is gone, it’s gone. A bipartisan site online could accept the donations for any candidate and keep a running total of money received. Have TV debates, with the understanding that anyone breaking the rules will be immediately muted, and asked to leave. Have town hall meetings. Get politics back to the PEOPLE, to grassroots campaigns that don’t spend $100 million on one candidate. It levels the playing field for anyone to run that can raise $10 million through grassroots efforts. No politician should be beholden to huge campaign contributors. Do away with lobbying! Our country can be run better by a humanitarian,and a great administration of extremely qualified individuals. Military, Finance, Social issues, Education, Intelligence, Veterans issues, etc. we have to change the way the US is run, including elections. The richest people in the country are BUYING politicians…something the majority of the country can’t compete in, and don’t want to compete in. It would be wonderful to start voting in people based on their intelligence, their character, and their history and background. People who were overachievers in high school, college, and work. Vetting for every candidate, and any negative findings that are related to morals is disqualifying. Whoever is running this country need to be above reproach. Maybe Hakeem Jeffries, who has a great track record and is younger and more enthusiastic that anyone in the Republican Party He’s done so much for his constituents, that it’s obvious he’s a good man , and very intelligent

"He knew conservatives would be the easiest marks. He was right.",
">\n\nIf I pulled a grift on Republican voters, I'd immediately flip to Democrat after winning election.\nI am reasonably confident I could continue to manipulate them even as a Democrat lmao",
">\n\nAh, the Sinema strategy.",
">\n\nNot terribly smart. Sinema might want to make money as a lobbyist after she leaves politics but she has almost no good relations with either the Democrats or GOP. Her grifter tactics are going to backfire hard",
">\n\nWhen you make more money than you can spend in a lifetime, does it matter",
">\n\nGiven her whole \"prada-socialist\" gimmick from a few years ago, I'm going to bet she has a spending problem.",
">\n\nthat article was oddly enthralling thank you",
">\n\nHaha I thought the same thing. Glad you enjoyed it",
">\n\nThe best part of this is watching the lack of integrity of his fellow republicans get exposed as they jump through hoops to keep supporting him.",
">\n\nI had the thought of \"what if that's the point of the long con\" but immediately shot that down because consistency, integrity, and appearances don't matter. Them being caught in a double standard doesn't matter.",
">\n\nCorrect. This is what the GOP is now. It's entirely filled by grifters who find some way to tap into peoples' dissatisfaction with Democrats. It has nothing to do with ideas or ideology or charisma or even anger in some cases. Mtg got in with qanon. Matt gaetz got in by having a rich dad. George Santos got in because it was a good year for Republicans in new york. And trump got in because he ran against Hillary Clinton.\nNobody cares about the results. They probably don't even care about the current trans panic. They stopped caring about the election years ago. And now they don't even care about q. \nThis is the modern republican party. And by the looks of it they overdosed on nihilism",
">\n\nI'm so exhausted living in a world with adult babies.",
">\n\nMuch prefer the diaper lovers, at least they keep to themselves.",
">\n\nHe could smell the money. It's all about the grift. Tomorrow I could start being a right wing grifter and within a year be a millionaire....\nHey, wait a minute. Excuse me...",
">\n\nMan the amount of times I have thought \"ya know if it weren't for this pesky conscience, I could be rich right now, just gotta tell the sheep what they want to hear and they will throw their money at you.\"\nBut I would feel bad about fleecing people out of their money, so I don't. Morals always getting in the way of making money...",
">\n\nIt's a problem. I couldn't live with myself.",
">\n\nRight?\nIve been tempted to start a megachurch so many times, but I would feel so horrible lying to those people to extract their money from them.",
">\n\nMaybe starting a new religion isn’t a bad thing. All religions are more like clustered philosophies and sets of rules on how to live a good life; the mythology and associated deities are secondary to that purpose\nIt wouldn’t be hard to make a new religion more ethical than Mormonism at least",
">\n\nI've had that thought, call it the Church of Autotheism, and base it around the idea we are all our own gods, in that we are responsible for our own actions, and the consequences of those actions. We are gods because we change the world every time we interact it with, no matter how minor that interaction is or how subtle the change caused is.\nThe hope being that if you make people aware of their actions and the consequences that they would choose to be good. Which is probably wishful thinking at best.",
">\n\nIt would fail as a religion\n\n\nEvery religion advocates for consequentialism. Every single one.\n\n\nThe purpose of Gods whether they be Allah, Buddha, Vishnu, Ahura Mazda, The Jade Emperor, etc. is to remind people that human beings are not Gods; that human beings are ultimately falliable and that there is a reason mankind is in a fallen state, whether it be sin, haram, desire, karma, etc. Religion doesn’t work without a direct figure of worship for this reason",
">\n\nYea I know. It doesn't come with that fear of divine or cosmic retribution that hooks people.\nCan't scare people if you whole thing is \"everything is chaos, nothing means anything, so why not try being nice to each other to make things more pleasant?\" except dressed up in theological language.",
">\n\nIsnt he wanted for some crimes back in brazil?",
">\n\nBeing an extreme right wing operative is much more profitable.",
">\n\nEspecially if you're a minority. They'll build you the biggest, most expensive pedestal you've ever seen so they can show the world \"See? We can't possibly be oppressors! Here is someone we want to oppress that agrees with us!“\nAnd when you've finally helped them accomplish their goals, you'll have the honor of being second against the wall.\nAnyway, what this guy claimed years ago and what this guy claims today simply doesn't matter. His word is worthless and trying to sort the truth from the lies is a fools errand. \nHe may not even know the answer himself.",
">\n\nRemember that even in nazi germany there were Jews agreeing, supporting, and collaborating with Hitler. Only to end up in concentration camps in the end.",
">\n\nSame reason Trump switched.\nConservatives are ripe for the taking and have zero critical thinking skills.",
">\n\nSame reason for the difference in advertisements you see in conservative media. They will buy anything. All sorts of random pills, gold scams, objective trash as seen on TV stuff, scam finance stuff, etc, etc. All of this on prime time cable. You don't see them on regular media because market research is telling advertisers that conservatives are the stupidest demographic.",
