Latest right wing conspiracy going around our MAGAT community this morning. [View all]

And yes, people are still going out for morning walks wearing their MAGA gear.

So, my husband started taking our new puppy for walks a couple of weeks ago, and when he comes home to tell me about the conversations with people he's bumped into during his walks, he identifies the Trumpers by adding MAGA as their last name. Sharon MAGA is a favorite of ours, but today, he ran into Stan and Linda MAGA (I anonymously busted them for being in violation of our HOA rules by having a Trump sign in their window). Stan and Linda asked if my husband had heard the latest - that Soros is paying Democrats $10,000 to move to Georgia so they can vote in the run-off elections, and Castro (I'm assuming they meant Julian or Joaquin) is advertising this on his website. Dear Lord.

My, my, George is busy. He is also, apparently, funding that new bs site parler. niyad Nov 2020 #7

I thought that was Mercer. Native Nov 2020 #10

The mercers are funding it, but I saw this nonsense yesterday. Facts do not matter to them. niyad Nov 2020 #12

Of course. I'll probably hear that one this afternoon. LOL. So much fun! Native Nov 2020 #15

You have to be registered by December 7th, and there is no time to complete that process in time. TheBlackAdder Nov 2020 #17

Yeah, we researched it. Not only is it far fetched and likely fraudulent, just add up the numbers... Native Nov 2020 #22

Yes. For every $1,000,000 he spends it creates a whole 100 votes underpants Nov 2020 #18
