Junk Emails
Nov. 30th, 2024 08:59 pmI get junk emails from various right wingers, or perhaps the same gang operating under different names, and I continue to receive these emails despite supposedly unsubscribing; the titles are Conservative Action Report, GrubFeed, Right & Free, and Fight 4 Liberty. They are not entirely identical, but there is overlap, and they all seem to include pro-Trump news or pseudo-news, together with medical and/or food-related quackery. At least, it looks like quackery, although I don’t actually read the articles and attempt to assess their validity.
I wonder why they have this format? Are Trump supporters especially likely to believe in health crackpottery, or do the publishers think that poorly educated and none too bright people in general are likely to read alimentary advice, or gossip about Dolly Parton, and then stay on the site to read twaddle flattering Trump and condemning his opponents? Or that even MAGAts would be bored by nothing but pro-Trump politics, and should be given some other infotainment? Or is it a combination of factors?
