The RNC sent me a notice of official census material that was actually a fundraiser for the republican candidates running in the midterms. The paperwork was presented as being an official document required to be filled out by law, but it was patently false. This is corruption. This is meant to deceive people into giving data and money to a political party under the guise of nonpartisan census data. This undermines trust in the census, local government, and the democratic process. This is beyond disgusting, and I’m mailing back the form to tell the RNC how I really feel about their bullshit.
Wow. That’s fucked up. Like truly. How evil can you be?
@makethwoman I’m starting to get behind husband on his paranoia about filling these things out.
NGL, the “Paid for by the Republican National Committee” stamp at the bottom and “Would you like to donate to Trump to “Make America Great Again”” are both pretty obvious to me. But someone is going to fall to this ploy.
It’s great that you’re smart enough and aware enough to see through it. But this isn’t just about scamming cash from the ignorant, the elderly and the people who don’t have a great grasp of English. It’s also propaganda designed to influence the views of Trump supporters and potential Trump supporters. Look at the questions on the survey and think about what they’re telling you, not just what they’re asking you. Wrapping it in “official” language makes it feel more legitimate, even to those that recognize what it is. It gets under your skin. Propaganda comes in many forms.
