She’ll just get crowdfunding money from Republicans (white domestic terrorists).
I mean, either way it's a win. If she gets $2 each from a shitload of right wing fuckheads, that means we made ~50,000 right wing fuckheads pay to support gay marriage.
That’s 50,000 people paying for the attempt at preventing gay marriage, not in support of it.
Paying for a failed attempt. So it's kind of impotence squared if it happens.
That's $100,000 that won't get to those people unless somebody else raises it because I doubt very seriously Kim Davis has $100,000.
Recognizing that these bios mean next to nothing, a quick google suggests her net worth could be in the tens of millions.
The grift (potentially) pays well.
If only we could collect their names and tell everyone about how they feel!
that number sounds too low.
assuming that the last election was 50% and that 50% of voters are republicans; about 70 million people could support her like this.
It wasn't and they aren't.
I don't care where she gets the money, as I'm delighted where the money is going.
Finally. We have the funds to enact the Gay Agenda©
Execute order 69.
Sounds like socialism to me
I get the joke but to be clear, handouts are not a problem for these folks, so long as the Jesus Strings are fully attached.
Hey, have you written up your 'Jesus Strings' theory? You've mentioned it a few times and it makes marvelous intuitive sense to me — I'd like to read the article if you're written it.
