Reminds me of those literal fake news generators from all the presidential cycles, but I remember a big article was written after 2016 about people that made fake news on random made up news sites and plastered ads over them, tried to get tons of clicks through facebook ads, and they interviewed some of the people that did those. They were almost all liberal leaning and did versions for Clinton as well. But when they advertised on facebook, the conservatives ate that stuff up and drove a ton of traffic to their sites and got them lots of money whereas the liberal leaning fake news site got much less traffic and they eventually abandoned the liberal ones to work harder on the conservative ones because that’s where all the money and suckers were going. There was a group of Macedonian teens that did it. But I thought I remember seeing a piece on 60 mins or a similar show.

That’s basically it for all of this shit show.
You’re either in maga to con the rest of the idiots into buying your crap, or you’re the idiot being conned. There’s no in-between.

I think that this all coincides readily with reported findings from a German university that links conservative viewpoints with lower intelligence.
The only diehard MAGA’s that I know that aren’t wealthy are walking around with literal room-temp IQ’s, like my alcoholic father with multiple TBI’s.

Don’t pat yourselves on the back too hard – there’s a handful of commonly linked sites on reddit that have made a killing for years by luring in people with clickbait articles about how conservatives have had enough and are turning on each other because „recent event“ was the last straw and now they’ve finally seen the light! Meanwhile, in reality they’re all just as locked and delusional as they were on day 1. But it’s a tried and true liberal fantasy that conservatives will all of a sudden snap out if it, so people fall for it pretty much every time.

Damn, I’m in the wrong profession then.

Super dumb man is a pleonasm.
Redundancy in the header as it says MAGA already.
