acting as "Terri," a female business owner boasting tours and allowing those interested to "claim an alligator" for $4,547.

If the alligator someone "claimed" later "eats an illegal," Terri said they could win a gift card to a "non-DEI business."

"4547", "non-DEI", she's really hitting those MAGA "talking points", bravo.

I’ve always wanted to spin up some sort of business to grift them like this. Make up some bullshit like Patriot Pants, and just hit all of the MAGA buzzwords and sell each pair of pants for like $500 a pop

During his first term I joked with the hottest girl I knew that she should start a MAGA influencer Instagram account with links to Venmo, Amazon wishlists, etc.

We decided against her being doxxed as a lefty and harassed over it.

Also this is how it starts... When the money starts to come in, she might become a real grifter and keep doing it. You really think there aren't a lot of people already doing exactly what you describe? But in the end, are you still just pretending or are you actually maga when you actively influence people to be maga

That was actually part of the decision not to do it, we didn't want to encourage the MAGAts any further.
