    there was this black girl in 2018 who pretended to be MAGA. She went on twitter saying how her family kicked her out because of it so she decided to “speak her truth”. She managed to get sympathy from trump supporters and got them to donate to her go fund me. Only got $200 out of it and she returned the donations after admitted she just made it up for fun lmao

    In an interview with New York magazine, Quran said she simply decided to “capitalize” off of all of the recent efforts by Republicans to shed the reputation that they’re “mostly racist.”

    “A lot of Republicans have this idea that everyone thinks Republicans are mostly racist and they’re really desperate to get that stigma off of them,” she said. “I just felt like capitalizing on that.”

    here’s a buzzfeed article on it https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/tanyachen/college-student-faked-maga-trump-sob-story-trolled-gofundme

    there’s also a high chance some MAGA influencers are just grifters anyway

      There are two types of MAGA, evil and stupid. Most of them are stupid, they don’t think about it, so it makes sense to them, but they can’t explain why. The ones who tell the stupid what to say, are the evil ones.
