Good for him. Would rather a legitimate self-made fellow that actually created a product people want to purchase get involved in politics than some hardcore billionaire speculator.

I'm sure he's in a hurry to take financial advice from a racist poster on a message board.

I would advise him to stay away from people who advocated for genocide against muslims and the white nationalist business entrepreneurs they support.

Sounds about right. Anyone who thinks Trump is an attractive candidate is obviously either in an alternate reality or an altered state.

Would that be before, or after, you've linked him to your racist posts on this board? :)

I'm sure he can figure out the difference between people like me and people who openly support ethnic cleansing but try to call me racist.

You're basically the new tool on the forum to perfectly exemplify what was under that rock trump kicked over.

Luckey has of course the right to support and vote Trump. This is cool. (Who knows, if I had 100s of millions I possibly would have done the same)

He actually did folks a favor, by openly and honestly stating that he "supports the political party who represents his interests best". (Not without proudly mention in the beginning that he is one of the "0,001%" now, as if we wouldn't know.).

I wonder however, whether, with the help of him and what he said, it would help the one or the other factory worker, low-wage earner, Walmart cashier, THE MAJORITY of Trump voters, realize whom they are actually votin' for. Obviously, "some" people, unlike Luckey, are still believing that Trump represents the side that will benefit "little Americans" and the "average man", DESPITE the knowledge of tax-cuts for the rich and that, yes indeed, it is the party that "represents the interests of the super-wealthy".

I have no problem with Luckey or anyone supporting this and then stand to their views. However I have a problem with millions of Americans being lied to about the agenda of a party/candidate...but as my sig also says, of course they HAVE TO since there happen to not be enough 0.0001%-ers out there to otherwise elect a candidate :) This lie is necessary for them, it's essential for this party to even exist.

They do benefit by maintaining an ethnic underclass below themselves, just like in the 50's period they idolize; that's trump's appeal.

Wait, could you clarify this? You mean the poor/lower middle class is benefiting because they maintain an ethnic underclass (aka: Mexicans etc.) below them, which (seemingly) raises them up and above them? Is this what you meant?

Obviously "very real" this doesn't "benefit" anyone except emotionally, simply makes them "feel" more worth. Part of the spiel, of course, and just perfect for the 0,001%ers.

Yes, they've been voting for/against basically the same things as they (or their parents) since the 60's. All credit to leftist schools and media there are less of them now than before, the old ones died off and our public institutions limited the ability of the rest to influence the next generation.

I stopped using FB after the Thiel vs Gawker thing. Something about the culture there just breeds under-handed douchebaggery.

So just FYI, the entire article's premise is a load of bullshit.

Nimble America posted on reddit (r/the_donald) a week or two ago. I was reading the at the time. Within minutes of the posting there was mass outrage and most accused it of being a money-grab (not the first instance of a fake fundraiser stealing funds from Trump supporters.) Certain moderators of the subreddit banned any dissenters. Within a few hours the Nimble America post was deleted and all bans reversed. Within 24 hours all moderators involved were fired/shamed/BTFO of the subreddit. They even ostracized their favorite Breitbart reporter Milo Yiannopoulos for taking part in the scheme.

Nimble America had a presence on r/the_donald for a grand total of a few hours. There isn't some billionaire behind Trumps meme magic, because he got kicked the hell out for being a douchebag scammer almost immediately.
The autists have been creating memes 100% free since the primaries.

Hillary, however, has spent $6,000,000 hiring her own minimum wage troll army called Correct the Record. Damn funny how frequent the dems project their own failures onto Trump.

Also, hit-pieces like this are half the reason Trump got so popular. Average people are tired of being lied to like this, tired of being told what to think like this and tired of being insulted for what they think. The more dems do this, the stronger a chance of Trump winning.

/r/the_donald is a pretty good example of what an america with trumpsters in charge would look like. Outright bans any dissent, waffles between whether to be full on racist or only overtly so (and overtly mostly because of possible quarantine by reddit), and so on. Without reddit hq's threat overhead it'll basically be /pol/ except more trump focused.

They're pretty open about the fact that being a Trump themed forum they keep the message on Trump and don't allow opposition trolling. Its not a general political discussion forum. Same kind of nonsense drive by attack as in the OP's articles.

Oh good, you called Trump supporters racist again. Its sure to work this time, right? I mean, you could go back 10 pages and not find a single bit of actual racism at all. The kind of racism that's definitely there, but absolutely no where to be found even if you look hard.

But I do like how your little side arguments attempt to distract from the fact that the news story this thread was created for is a complete lie.

Remember that time they explicitly relaxed the racism rule to allow islamophobia because it helps them get to /r/all? Or that time they finally had to demod a longtime mod for bragging about raping illegal women? Or that getting to /all was the strategy of that mod?

Just reading the news and ahahahahhahahahah the moron tries to publicly & officially deny he was involved much and certainly didn't write that reddit post under u/NimbleRichMan.

Then of course: https://twitter.com/oneunderscore__/status/779506558409510912/photo/1

Also just fyi, this is the same guy accused of stealing someone else's vr tech to build his kickstarter, which is rather believable because he apparently has zero technical background. Rather fitting that the scam artists gotta support one another.
