Why bother ACTUALLY doing the work of running for civil service (just to do more work when you win), when you can just be a garbage weirdo grifter?

The garbage weirdo grifter market is hot as fuck right now, and you’d think it’d stop beating the stock market or whatever, but you’d be wrong. There is no bottom and the well is deep and you barely have to do anything to be part of the circuit and collect your check.

That's what many of them choose to do. Like that crazy woman who was talking to him as if she were god. She doesn't have to go through these motions of raising money for a campaign and all that kind of stuff...she just finds a guy like this and grifts off of him and his followers.

God Forbid: The Sex Scandal That Brought Down a Dynasty on Hulu is worth the free trial subscription just to have a look. It's about the Falwell pool boy sex scandal. There's one part where the pool boy is bringing his family around these people and his mother catches on to what they do. She's at an event where she witnesses this same woman up on stage saying all this weird shit and then once everything is over, backstage that same woman is flirting with people and drinking and acting basically like a normal human. It's all a charade.
