You joke but it’s not exactly wrong.

People like that love to buy dumb shit. After a time Reddit will be nothing but my pillow, t shirt companies, colonial penn life insurance, and reverse mortgage ads.

True, but they're not exactly swimming in disposable income, usually. Trump's base is mostly non-college-educated whites. Not exactly a rich vein to mine.

True, but that’s the same base for the mega churches, and those fucks aren’t hurting for private jets.

Trump raises a few million bucks every time he tells his supporters to donate. A LOT of companies want in on that
