I got a letter in the mail a couple of days ago. It claimed to be from the Honorable Mike Pence, but it turned out to be from our current Vice President instead. “Confidential Material Enclosed” the envelope proclaimed.
Must be Important Shit.
You might be surprised to learn that what the Republican National Committee considers to be “confidential” would better be described as “bat-shit crazy”. Here was a letter that perfectly summarized the alt-truth narrative-trumps-evidence Republican fear-mongering dip-shittery. Dip. Shittery. The logic of dipshits.
Attached to the appeal for my money was a small survey, and in the package of confidential information was a postage-paid envelope.
So I filled out the survey. Where it asked (something like) “don’t you want those pesky democrats to stop persecuting Trump?” I used a big ol’ sharpie to answer no. There were other questions like that, and one that asked if I thought the media was dishonest. I wrote “Fox” over the yes box.
Then I sent the “survey” back, postage paid by the Honorable (according to him) Mike Pence and the RNC. If you have a similar opportunity to express your opinion, I encourage you to do so.
I receive and read these as well (Republican Census, Ivanka Trump, etc.) then throw them away. It is important to try to understand the narrative the Fox-set are getting, but I have no delusions that the answers are considered, only the checks returned with the questionnaires.
I’m getting a lot of similar spam, but I’m suspecting the URL for the donation. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if scammers put on the same histrionic calls for outrage and donations as political action, but pocket the money of the outraged citizens.
If he’s paying the return postage, why not tape it to a lump of concrete?
