Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving bunch. I’ll pour one out for these poor souls. Ha!

In an episode of the show bullshit (I think, I’m not 100% sure because I watch a lot of scam/anti-scam programming) there was an expert in MLMs saying that when you lose money in the MLM that isn’t a negative outcome for a MLM company.
He said something like, “you are supposed to lose money, that’s the business” and I can’t help but think the exact same quote applies to this.
That’s absolutely correct. MLMs make you buy their shitty products at steep prices and leave it to you to sell the rest at even more outragous prices. Once you bought their product, in bulk, at markup, they made a profit.
They dont give a fuck if you can sell it or not. You bought it, now you’re stuck with this useless shit.
Trump and company are doing something similar with ideas. Believe these words, no matter how horrible and bad they are, even if you’re loved ones vehemetly disagree with you, even if it will destroy democracy and hurt several vulnerable populations of people… believe us no matter what. Get invested beyond reason and stay angry even if it ruins your life.
They’re basically sucking the happiness out of people and then blaming x, y, and z groups for it.
It’s genuinely disturbing.
It’s true; they’re like a MLM company whose products are grievances and resentment.
