It's Just Top to Bottom Fraud

 


There's something about the entire right wing that I wish the solid, earnest folks who support it with their donations knew--it's a goddamn scheme. Take Donald Trump's post-presidency fund-raising vehicle--Save America PAC. It's currently under investigation because of course it should be--Trump is saving American from what, now? He promoted dangerous lies about voter fraud and teases he's fixing to do something about it, but there wasn't any voter fraud and there isn't anything he wants to do more than have money is his legal fund to defend against his sedition (planned insurrection) and I guess also his treasonous (why does he have these top secret documents?) activities. 

Trump raised a lot of money under "Save America" but nothing went to voter fraud litigation because there was no provable voter fraud to litigate. So like, how do I know there's none?

Take the recall of Dinesh D'Souza's dumb book, 2,000 Mules, as an example of the problem.  It's a grift.  You see the movie, you buy the book, you paid to believe in the thing. But there's a problem--the book is recalled and I already know from the movie why--he didn't name groups he thought were responsible for the imaginary "mules" he posits based on cell phone data of people revisiting city blocks that happen to be in their own neighborhoods (which is just extra dumb) in the movie, but he decided to go ahead and do that in his book, because why not?
