      1. people are idiots
      2. we have a ton of right wing idiots and American politics is so loud that they get really into it.

      Our right wing is mostly about billionaires and corporate theft, with only the minor parties doing the racist schtick. So the racists tend to be Maga despite it not being all that relevant to our politics. Although Pauline Hanson’s one nation is getting bigger since the liberals have fallen out of favour and she’s good at racism.

    It’s fitting that a right wing influencer would scam their right wing followers.

    Okay, just to be clear here - fuck Candace Owens

    But . . . If you read the article she was actually scammed out of a bunch of money too. She even gave the promoter money to cover refunds and they just didn’t refund it. Rocksman (the promoter) is the real villain of the story.

    I mean, it’s messed up all around, but I’ll at least give credit to C.Owens for trying to get people their refunds. Also I’m not exactly crying over these folks getting fleeced but holy shit it’s crazy what the promoter did and got away with and what they stole.

      Conservatives always lie.

      C Owens is almost certainly in on the scam, but she needs to make herself the victim because conservatives always do

    Why would you pay money to attend a political rally?

    A right wing one at that?

    Seems dumb.

      That’s because it’s American culture. Politics is celebrity and entertainment over there, as opposed to here where no one gives a fuck outside of cookers and nerds.

      Especially for a minor American pundit in Australia. What’s even the point? She knows far less about Australian politics than American politics and that’s already a very low bar.

        So do the people that bought the tickets I bet.

        Used to with with a guy that would not shut the fuck up about Trump. He was from New Zealand, living in Perth so he couldn’t vote here, couldn’t vote in America, and didn’t vote in New Zealand. He thought the liberals were the left wing party here, couldn’t tell you the PM’s name here or in New Zealand, but he could tell you what Trump had for breakfast and recite his 40 latest tweets while he listened to Joe Rogan.

    So you can just take their money, spend it, then not get in trouble for it? Brb, spinning up a right wing influencer touring business.

      I don’t normally speak on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community, however; ew! We don’t claim her.
