The Republican “we’re gonna TELL on you” ploy is getting more attention.
The National Republican Congressional Committee debuted a bright-yellow prechecked recurring-donation box on its donation page with a startling ultimatum.
The message from House Republicans’ campaign arm — which caught the eye of many reporters on Wednesday — told people that it needed to know it hadn’t “lost you to the Radical Left” and that if they opted out of making their donation a recurring one and “UNCHECK this box, we will have to tell Trump you’re a DEFECTOR & sided with the Dems.”
It’s interesting how stupid that message is, and how cheerful the Republicans who thought it up must be about telling their own people “We think you’re gullible enough to believe this.” Not giving away money to a political party when asked is not evidence of allegiance to the other party. More people vote Republican than give money to the Republican party. People tend to need their money for living expenses. The people demanding the money are very likely to be far richer than the people they’re demanding the money from.
You’re a DEFECTOR – and a traitor and a spy. It all adds up.
On the RNC’s WinRed donation page on Wednesday, the yellow prechecked donation box said, “The Dems want you to uncheck this box and abandon President Trump, but we know you won’t!”
Furthermore, see this dog? We’ll shoot this dog if you uncheck the box.

So this turned out not to be a hoax, after all?
“Furthermore, see this dog? We’ll shoot this dog if you uncheck the box.”
Please, don’t give them any ideas. At least readers of the National Lampoon are intelligent enough to get the joke.
I never thought it was a hoax, but it’s the kind of thing one ought to check with Snopes.
It does work. This was the highest-selling issue in the entire history of the magazine.

Once he recovers from the terrible, terrible shock, what exactly is Trump supposedly going to do with this incriminating information? Name and shame the people on the list at one of his Super-spreader rallies? Dox them all on his big new platform that’s going to take the empty space he left behind when Twitter kicked his orange ass to the curb? Is he going to come into each voting booth to personally force each of these miscreants to vote Dem?
It’s just that he will know – the beloved will know. How could anyone live with knowing that he will know??? It’s too tragic.
