kennedy@lemmy.dbzer0.comto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Has a person ever pretended to be a major Republican did a podcast interviews and everythinng else? While raking in a butt load of money? The turn around and be like HA MF's I am a liberal?23·3 days agothere was this black girl in 2018 who pretended to be MAGA. She went on twitter saying how her family kicked her out because of it so she decided to “speak her truth”. She managed to get sympathy from trump supporters and got them to donate to her go fund me. Only got $200 out of it and she returned the donations after admitted she just made it up for fun lmao
In an interview with New York magazine, Quran said she simply decided to “capitalize” off of all of the recent efforts by Republicans to shed the reputation that they’re “mostly racist.”
“A lot of Republicans have this idea that everyone thinks Republicans are mostly racist and they’re really desperate to get that stigma off of them,” she said. “I just felt like capitalizing on that.”
here’s a buzzfeed article on it https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/tanyachen/college-student-faked-maga-trump-sob-story-trolled-gofundme
there’s also a high chance some MAGA influencers are just grifters anyway

You want less distraction just stop using those apps or turn off push notifications.

I mean don’t you think they can just get someone else (who might already be here or a friend from another delegation) to do it for them?? I don’t see how that’ll stop anything it’s just an extra step.

I have all notifications turned off except for calls and texts. I tried the bell thing on for every channel i subscribed to on youtube it was absolutely hell. Thats what made me turn it all off in the first place. Every minute there was something new. And since notifications were on i’d also get those unnecessary shit that apps thought I needed to know right this second. Ever since i turned all notifications off my life has been so calm. Especially getting rid of the bubbles on app was so liberating.

currently going trough my personal backlog of games I’ve always wanted to play but never could. Never had my own console or a good enough PC. bought myself a steam deck and I’ve been an absolute degenerate doing nothing but playing video games. Just finished all 3 watch dogs (+ DLCs), currently working my way trough horizon zero dawn then will play forbidden west. Also simultaneously playing expedition 33, fallout 4, sleeping dogs and the witcher 3. I know its not high art but watch dogs is my favourite game and franchise I wish ubisoft would do something more with it.
don’t forget the pedophilia
