A med student says he’s made thousands of dollars selling photos and videos of a young conservative woman he created using generative tools. He’s not alone.
The same logic, however, apparently does not apply to left-wing influencer accounts, as Sam learned when he created a short-lived liberal counterpart for Emily on Instagram: “Democrats know that it’s AI slop, so they don’t engage as much.” (Sam’s explanation for why MAGA influencer accounts work is blunt: “The MAGA crowd is made up of dumb people—like, super dumb people. And they fall for it.”)
Pretty much sums up the whole political timeline we live in.
One that looks pretty promising is the “5G blocker” market. There already are some that are basically a USB powered LED in a housing to make it look like a flash drive.
You can differentiate your “product” by giving it a Tacticool look and/or name. Slap a plastic housing on that with an urban camo print and call it “The 5G Afflictor” or something, and you can probably get some money from some morons.
If you use careful wording, you can keep it totally factual, too. It may not block 5G signals, but everyone that buys one does suffer no further ill effects from 5G, for example.
I bet he could do more with that attitude and a big sack of idiots’ money than with the attitude alone. There’s also a certain poetry in undermining their efforts with their own money.
This is has always been the glaring issue with pure democracies.
That’s why constitutional republics were created. It’s supposed to be a counter to the negative side of democracy. The constitution is supposed to be continuously updated and refined with the changing needs of the Republic.
FYI the last constitutional amendment to the U.S. was in 1992. That is 34 years ago. Unless something changes radically in the next few years, historians will refer to that date as when the U.S. Constitution died.
Actually, the last time the Constitution was amended was in 2020 when Virginia became the 38th state to pass the Equal Rights amendment. But, of course, conservative ciquanery kept it off.

Damn I need to start scamming MAGAs. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to start a new career in the scamming industry?
Affirm their biases with the face of a pretty young blonde woman
If you find something and go “nobody could possibly fall for that!” then you’ve found your MAGA grift.

Everything you need to know is in the article.

You could run for office as a republican, they have teams of support people that will coach and help you hone your craft.
