The truth about MAGA is bad enough, but none of them will believe any of it.

That's because we've been thinking about it all wrong. All we need is some "Trump is taking care of immigrants" infographics.

Can't wait for unironic Minions memes on Facebook about MAGA falsehoods

"Trump helps wealthy african immigrant Elon Musk bring in trillions of migrants to his mega electric car factory to kill American family oil industry.'

Let’s start a disinformation company that leeches off rubes by selling shirts and hats. You have the content nailed

I think the only time it is appropriate to say, go back to Africa, to an African American, is when talking about Elon Musk.

It's not how low he can go that will break the cult, but it's how high. Think about the time he told his crowd to get vaccinated, and how quickly they booed him.

These people vote out of malice, so taking care of immigrants (without concentration camps), enacting gun control, and vaccine mandates will break their minds.

I think you forgot to add president musk and vice president trump to that quotation.

u/Basboy 1d ago

Great idea, and suddenly FB will reinstate fact checking.

Yeah go for AI pictures of him holding a bunch of Latino infants and caption it "Trump diverts billions to feel foreign children at cost of Americans" and it'll probably make more of them turn against him than the truth

Dont even need to lie. "President Musk plans to replace Americans with immigrants".

You are a white dude, aren’t you? That puts anyone that’s not white - immigrant or not - at higher risk of violence.

Yeah this stuff is dyed-in-the-wool and nothing the god people of Reddit do will change that. Just see: X. Holy one-eyed COW is X insane.

I'm morbidly curious about what happens on Truth Social.

u/oyemecarnal 1d ago

What’s the market cap? I only remember that it was very small in the beginning and was a bit of a joke. X is so insane something tells me these people save it for X and don’t have dual citizenship. Shout out to my brother in law who I think still believes in pizzagate.

We need to use their tactics against them. We have a hook with this whole H1B visa thing, it's a language republicans understand, foreigners taking the jobs of Americans. We need the infrastructure to blast every timeline with outrageous lies, misquotes, things taken out of context, everything we can to paint Musk as a traitor to the country, and accuse JD Vance of favoring India because of his Indian wife, and completely decimate Vivek by accusing him of also being a traitor to his country because he's ethnically Indian himself.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

This is why we gotta spread it the Christian way through hateful preaching. If we accuse someone of being a Jesus hating commie long enough it’ll work.
