As much as I disapprove of elected officials making money from their position, I'm halfway OK with this one, because it means the MAGA crowd is getting ripped off. Some might even learn a valuable lesson about personality cults and pyramid schemes.

Problem is that only the bag-holders suffer; the asshole selling the bags will get away with it.

Every ounce of suffering they feel from being scammed and lied to is to of baggage that keeps them in.

If they stop they have to admit to themselves and maybe others that they were tricked. Every ounce of suffering a shot at their ego that they might rather become even more radicalized then take to the chest.

I get to you though, I've been wanting to run a program that gives MAGA that sign up for it the cost difference of the mass deportation program. Its costing us fucking billions, and people would still sign up thinking they are getting a check instead of a bill. They would just blame anything else but their own ignorance and the person killing on their behalf.
