how many who got conned by trump would again vote for trump? He is after all the king-exalted leader-head fascist-racist of at least 60 million who voted for the loser in the open, free election of 2020. That's out of the 70 million total that voted for him in the last election. From 1619-present-day America every generation has had its RW racist bloc fighting, killing, murdering, committing genocide, maiming, threatening minorities with white supremacist takeover. Now in this 21st century, it's an open, proud and agitating movement by white supremacy forces to take over our government. The lines in the sand are apparent. And yes last election at least 85 million Americans have repudiated racist ideology.

Yet, 1/6/2021 was a lethal deadly attempted coup d'etat'. That day showed me the lines in the sand were crossed by trump chumps intent on killing people that fateful day of Ft. Sumpter 2.0.

No patriots in that crowd.

Most of those interviewed blamed it on the company who set up the website.

Stephanie Ruhle pointed out that the same exact scheme was currently going on STILL, and the reporter said that didn't matter to these people, that they did not think it was Drumpf's fault.

Stacy Blatt was in hospice care last September listening to Rush Limbaugh’s dire warnings about how badly Donald J. Trump’s campaign needed money when he went online and chipped in everything he could: $500.

It was a big sum for a 63-year-old battling cancer and living in Kansas City on less than $1,000 per month. But that single contribution — federal records show it was his first ever — quickly multiplied. Another $500 was withdrawn the next day, then $500 the next week and every week through mid-October, without his knowledge — until Mr. Blatt’s bank account had been depleted and frozen. When his utility and rent payments bounced, he called his brother, Russell, for help.

What the Blatts soon discovered was $3,000 in withdrawals by the Trump campaign in less than 30 days. They called their bank and said they thought they were victims of fraud.

“It felt,” Russell said, “like it was a scam.”

But what the Blatts believed was duplicity was actually an intentional scheme to boost revenues by the Trump campaign and the for-profit company that processed its online donations, WinRed. Facing a cash crunch and getting badly outspent by the Democrats, the campaign had begun last September to set up recurring donations by default for online donors, for every week until the election.
