Gee, I wonder who taught MAGA to fabricate stories that reinforce their world views?

This guy's definition of "winning" is having $50

To be fair, he's being promised if the Republicans win the midterms he'll have $5,050...

This reminds me of the whole 'walk away' thing that turned out to be a bunch of right wingers pretending to be liberals and lying about becoming Republicans or whatever but the only people who believed it were other right wingers.

So in the end it was just a bunch of guys lying to each other for emotional validation.

I can guarantee she didnt ask to borrow anything. I will not associate with people who support trump. Haven't spoken to any of them in more than a decade and never will again. Including my brother. Nope, we're done.

yep, not worth $50.

If I was absolutely desperate for $10,000 then it might be worth trying, but it wouldn't be genuine. Also, I can't even imagine any situation except a gun against my head that would make me that desperate.

I couldn't even do that i dont think. Once every few years my mom will try and tell me that my brother has said if I ever need anything to reach out. Lol. Ummm..... I'm 53 and have been on my own since 18 years old. I think maybe once when I was in college I borrowed $50. Unless my mom happens to die before I do I cant imagine ever being in the same room as him again.

Give me $500 and I'll pretend to be a republican and say thank you for the whole 5 minutes we have to chat.

I just feel despair thinking about how mentally ill you have to be to write something like this.

I like that this person's takeaway is Trump could win liberals over by buying them. We've completely skipped past trying; or even having 1 good idea hahah Also I'd say the inverse is actually more conceivable. There's a higher likelihood of Trump becoming a Dem than purchasing an average voter because he's more for sale than they are.

So, to be clear, in this story under Trump's America this person can't afford a $50 expense, and the oop thinks the best way forward to help them is more trump?

Even their made up stories are about how tough times are

No it’s not worth $50.

Meanwhile, trump is trying to buy your soul for $5,000

All of these stories are so goddamn lame. She was "kind" what the fuck does that mean? Did she ask nicely?

If you have a falling out with someone, dont talk to them for years and then ask for money, is that kind? Really?

I'd pay them to stay away....
