This is not “American”. This is “right wing grifter”.
A whole lot of america isn’t that.
But too much is.
Let’s be real, nothing is more American than taking money from idiots
The carnies are in charge and they’re fleecing the rubes for everything.
I can’t help feeling carnies are done wrong by the comparison. At least carnies propose to delight us in exchange for their enrichment.
The carnies at the fair we just visited were wearing Trump and MAGA hats.
Hard no to the kid on playing any of their games.
That’s the problem. The rubes are delighted at being taken.
i want to contest your position but i worked the carnival circuit for 12 years
That’s a remarkable stretch. What was the best bit?
i liked the crawfish festival up in tualatin oregon. they had these cool foam crawfish/lobster hats. mine finally died back in 2019, and the festival hasn’t happened again since.
Hell, that’s the state I was born and I’d never heard of it myself.
i would love help throw it, get it going again, but i’m all the way fuck too down south to help. it’s one of the few festivals i’d Travel for.
Was it just the food? What made it special?
Nah mate this is 100% American. We still remember how ye gifted two billion dollars to the dnc last year. Aren’t you getting any texts asking for more money yet?
This is not an ‘America bad’ take. We have our fair share of grifting in the rest of the world as well, but the American way is quite particular.
It’s mixed in with neoliberal ideology. That’s why you can find examples on both sides. Neoliberalism is what unites the two parties in the US.
America was founded as a grift
Not enough that you could stop the Nazis from taking power.
I don’t know if this is really not visible from within, but this has always been the essence of American Life in my eyes since I became socially aware at the end of the 90s, when I was also spending my summers in the US.
Sure, now the wallpaper pattern is covering the sofa and the chairs, and it is a punch in your eyes, but the room has always been surrounded in just that.

And the funny thing is, this is socialism.
Nah you’re all fucked just in different ways
Man, I saw that woman make a speech in honor of her husband and it sounded exactly like me giving a book report on a book I absolutely did not read because my brother rented Final Fantasy Tactics and I needed to finish it before it went back to Blockbuster.
That is oddly specific.
Yet still more coherent than her so called speech
Sorry but I’m calling bs. No way you finished FFT in 3 days or a week.
Girl you never heard of GameShark?

Turning putrid by now
Yall are being unfair. There’s no more appropriate way to honor Charlie Kirk than grifting.
The water fountain with Hawaiian punch from Mister Deeds comes to mind as the best way to honor him.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Now, that’s one Kirk I like.
Charlie’s middle name was James so it’s very likely James T. Kirk will never exist.
Jesus Christ. Bitch is already set for life, not she just can’t help herself from whor’in
erikkka is not innocent. she is an adult who is responsible for her actions. and her actions are: gib me money
edit: to be clear, giving turning point money and giving her money are the same thing in the context I see this. it’s to spread the message of hate.
Lowkey can’t imagine a bitch who wifes a mysoginist to do anything different tbh. All maga bitches are the same, plastic bimbo milfs.
You’re giving them too much cedit with that last word, and doing yourself a disservice. “Don’t stick your dick in crazy” still applies.
Nah, I like crazy, but they have to have self-respect, which clearly none of them do, hence why they’re all bitches, I’ve got standards man.
“Don’t stick your dick in crazy”
Supposedly this is for the company. However, if she believed in it that much then why does she have so much personal wealth? Shouldn’t she be the first to donate a large percentage of her wealth?
If Charlie were alive he’d be telling her to get back in the kitchen
If Charlie were alive, he’d have a gaping hole in his neck and would be too busy choking on his blood to say anything in particular.
Shouldn’t she be taking care of her children and submitting to God’s will instead of pretending to take on a leadership role? That’s very inappropriate for a woman.
You say that as if mercilessly exploiting every opportunity to make money isn’t the exact way people become rich in the first place. There’s pretty much no other way to do it these days, at least not in America; you’re either honorable and poor, or dishonorable and maybe rich, though probably still poor.
Have you guys still not understood that americans (not all, duh) are completely caught up in performative gestures? Their prosperity gospel so many believe in basically commands them to donate in order to show their affiliation and piety.

Does anyone not realize that Trent was taking about money in that song?
God money
Yup. He literally says it. Dunno how anyone could miss it.
yeah, first verse :)
God money, I’ll do anything for you
God money, just tell me what you want me to
God money, nail me up against the wall
God money, don’t want everything, he wants it all
prosperity gospel
this shit is absolutely bonkers. it not only directly ignores christ’s teachings, it’s basically a mlm? holy shit
it’s a grift from god rofls
I’m curious if it’s as common in the younger generations as it appears in the old. Are young people attending church in the same numbers in the US? Perhaps there was less lead in the gasoline for them.
It is.
People want to belong. If you can pay money to belong… that’s an easy way to belong.
Are young people attending church in the same numbers in the US?
Religion has been on a steady decline by percentage of population in the US since the 70s. Christians declined from 91% in 1970 to 82% in 2000 to 74% in 2020, but the actual number of Christians overall increased from roughly 187 mil to 246 mil. However, non-religious rose from 5 to 20% in that same time frame (from 10.5 mil to 65 mil).
I would prefer to support a Nigerian prince. Odds are that they could actually make decent use of the money for themselves and their community.
the wife lost her lavish lifestyle and grifitng from the husband.
Grifters gotta grift and I mean she’s sick enough to live stream herself performatively crying over his body for views and clout so not even remotely surprising.
she will have to sleep with a magat that is willing to date a mother of 2 soon or she will have to find a job.
I thought old Chucky had grifted millions from Toilet Paper. Unless he had a prenup or something she’ll get all that christofascist money and will never have to worry about working like the rest of us plebes.
She live streamed the fucking funeral!!! Jesus lady…
