The progressive card game company is paying new voters who come up with plans and disparage Donald Trump online.

The company behind the game Cards Against Humanity is aiming to one-up Elon Musk with its plan to pay blue-leaning swing-state residents who make voting plans and agree to publicly condemn Donald Trump.

The company announced an initiative Tuesday to encourage people who didn’t vote in 2020 to go to the polls this year by handing out up to $100.

On a website created by the game company, eligible voters are asked to provide their personal information, which is then checked against voter data that the company said it bought from a data broker. “You wouldn’t believe how easy it was for us to get this stuff,” the website said.

If eligible voters didn’t vote in 2020, Cards Against Humanity offers them a payout, provided they write apologies for not having voted four years ago, create voting plans and publicly post “Donald Trump is a human toilet.” If the voters lean blue and live in swing states, they can earn more money.

According to the website, over 1,700 eligible voters have already participated.

Doing what he is doing is not the only way to respond to it.

No, but it is an effective way. Other ways should be done as well.

Effective how? Again, you need a non-Republican congress and a non-Republican judiciary to have an effect. And that is not what we have and it is not what we will have for the foreseeable future due to gerrymandering and court stacking. Spreading awareness doesn’t do a thing when the people at the top don’t care what anyone but billionaires like Musk think.

How do you get non-republicans in positions to fix these things without spreading awareness of what Republicans are allowing?
