God the paid protestor thing is so fucking tiring. Anybody with more than 2 brain cells sees right through it
That's giving maga people far too much credit though
...that someone is directly harming them and profiting off their stupidity while they actively thank the abuser? No, that doesn't sound like MAGA people...
hes like the dr Phil of STOCK markets.
O'Leary is exactly like Trump. He cons investors, grabs his fees and they all lose money.
This is a genius observation. Gonna use it.
They dont have 2 brain cells
I've literally never seen a paid protestor. I don't think it's ever happened
some pr firm found the line works in whatever context and is selling to them for $20k/month
Selling them what? The idea of claiming paid protestors?
the messaging strategy. Press releases, bylines, interviews, media appearances, the media training that goes along with it, and the messaging to say.
