Has a person ever pretended to be a major Republican did a podcast interviews and everythinng else? While raking in a butt load of money? The turn around and be like HA MF's I am a liberal?
He’s publicly said multiple times that he has had people come up to him and tell him they liked his old show better, clearly not understanding it was satire
there was this black girl in 2018 who pretended to be MAGA. She went on twitter saying how her family kicked her out because of it so she decided to "speak her truth". She managed to get sympathy from trump supporters and got them to donate to her go fund me. Only got $200 out of it and she returned the donations after admitted she just made it up for fun lmao
In an interview with New York magazine, Quran said she simply decided to "capitalize" off of all of the recent efforts by Republicans to shed the reputation that they're "mostly racist."
"A lot of Republicans have this idea that everyone thinks Republicans are mostly racist and they’re really desperate to get that stigma off of them," she said. "I just felt like capitalizing on that."
there's also a high chance some MAGA influencers are just grifters anyway
There are two types of MAGA, evil and stupid. Most of them are stupid, they don't think about it, so it makes sense to them, but they can't explain why. The ones who tell the stupid what to say, are the evil ones.

Dude gotta respect the integrity in that woman. Took money from people who needed taking from, and still had the honesty to not take it. If i was hiring...

Stephen Colbert?

Sort of, but he was always blatantly parody.

To us, yes. A large number of the people he was mocking do not understand irony, so they thought he was genuine.

Well I mean there's your problem right there you got to be white to pull it off I guess.

I think that'd be a pretty dangerous proposition by now. Maybe someone is doing it but is now too afraid to do the switcheroo.

these guys did it in the 00s
it doesn't work, you will note that we've still descended into global corpo fascism despite lots of merry pranksters

I think that people have tried, but the grifting is too easy and lucrative and that makes them a Republican.
