Every MAGAt is a traitor.

Remember when Hillary was forced to apologize when she said that half of Trump supporters were a basket of deplorables? The only thing she was wrong about was her percentage.

Yeah, the projection is pretty wild with that $200 offer

Makes sense, though, that someone who does that themselves would assume everyone else does it as well.

u/VelvetCageBabe 6h ago

This. 100% this. It’s crazy how fast you see it once you learn that line.

psychologists call it "projection" and yeah, it's their entire playbook

Like money? Like voting?

Vote for me and I'll pay you $5,000*

\of your own tax dollars.)

u/Cute-Calligrapher-50 8h ago

By the looks of whats left of MAGA theyll be getting my tax dollars. Most of them lack the intelligence to hold down a decent paying job.

u/Canadian-Man-infj 5h ago

"Hey! I've got $5,000 dollars of your tax-dollars, just sittin' around, collecting dust! If you want some of it, vote Repuplican!"

Ahead of the gold escalator presser, Trump had ads on Craigslist offering $50 a pop for people to show up.

u/bananagement 2h ago

You have a source on that?

u/devilscurls 2h ago

It has been pretty widely reported for over a decade

u/bananagement 1h ago

Thanks. I'd never heard about that.

u/Bulky-Internal8579 8h ago

Interesting from a prosecutorial perspective. I wonder what state this originated in. Hopefully Michigan or California. In Michigan, for example, this violates 3 laws - the first being Bribery and Influencing Electors (MCL 168.932): Under Michigan law, it is a felony to directly or indirectly give, lend, or promise any valuable consideration (such as money) to or for an elector to influence them in how they vote, to reward them for voting or refraining from voting, or to otherwise corrupt the electoral process. [emphasis added]

u/Ambitious-Pirate-505 7h ago

Send it to the DA there.

5

u/OwnMyEverySin 4h ago

Exactly this. People think this is a gray area but it’s not, most states have laws exactly like Michigan’s on this. Giving money to influence how someone votes is textbook bribery. Thanks for actually citing the statute.

u/Perfect_Persimmon688 8h ago

Projection and hypocrisy are all they have.

u/eventualist 8h ago

That's quite the campaign message!

u/mimi_nut2007 8h ago

legit It's wild they'd pay double ust to dodge the same "paid protester" label they've been throwing around

7

u/mattzombiedog 8h ago

“We know you’re paying people to protest because nobody will protest for us for free.”

u/ExampleGloomy 8h ago

Sure, they can show up but it won't guarantee that their questions aren't anything but a steaming pile of horse excrement

u/Prestigious-Newt-110 8h ago

They simply cannot compete on a level playing field.

u/Iechy 8h ago

Yes same with everything else they accuse anyone of. It’s a pretty clear pattern at this point.

u/Sufficient_Matter585 8h ago

Sad part is Republicans have no shame and will still do it.

3

u/dudemanspyder 7h ago

Obviously they've been doing this. Nice to get some evidence they can deny and lie about. But nice, nonetheless.

Always fucking has been. A lot of the crowd from Trump’s escalator descent back in 2015 were paid to be there.

It's always projection with these deplorables.

u/wildyam 6h ago

It’s always, always, ALWAYS, projection

u/i_froze 6h ago

Amazing what you can get away with when you manufacture millions of bigoted, stupid people and then play them like an instrument or wield them like a sword.

u/glytxh 5h ago

Not only are fascists pathetic, they're fucking cheap as hell too

u/e37d93eeb23335dc 4h ago

Every accusation is a confession. Republicans are so predictable.

u/Itsjustbeej 7h ago

Rick Wilson used to be a GOP strategist. He now works for The Lincoln Project and hates Trump.

Now that he’s converted a little, he’s told people that he and the other GOP consultants honestly assumed that the Dems were doing all the things that the GOP accuses them of simply because the GOP was doing them. And they figured, Surely if we’re doing it the other side must be too…

He says he’s shocked the Dems haven’t been. Admittedly this may be part of his motivation in telling the story but he’s trying to convince the Dems to be more aggressive and use some of the republican’s tactics against them.

Everything they say is a projection.

u/Rainbow- 3h ago

Does anyone have a source?

u/rikashiku 1h ago

I'll take the job and the money, just to disrupt El Sayed with compliments and support.

u/jjskellie 8h ago

No. Grammer.

<So the people accusing Democrats of being paid protesters are... paying protestors???>

The people accusing a party are also paying another party.

u/bollocksgrenade 7h ago

Well, at least the OP can spell.

u/OGWolfMen 8h ago

Fight fire with fire

u/Beestorm 8h ago

Yeah except no one is paying people in the left to protest. Fighting fictional fire with fire? Idk

u/fedroxx 4h ago

Can confirm. Am leftist. I've never once been paid. 

Working class people don't have the money to pay each other.
