- sli 4y agoThe headline and story don't really support your interpretation.
- cpurdy 4y agoReading as a prereq definitely weeds out most of the MAGAs.
- isthisthingon99 4y agoI provided no interpretation other than to imply grift isn't exclusive to one political leaning.
- ubermonkey 4y agoNot really a helpful comment, though, since my post suggests that MOST such thing catering to this portion of the American right have grifty components -- not that grift exists only on the right.
- isthisthingon99 4y agoWe know what you mean. You're still wrong.
- ubermonkey 4y agoEvidence does not support your claim, boyo.
- isthisthingon99 4y agoLet's go with your assumption. What you are saying is purely due to political leaning, one is more likely to grift than another?
