I’m interested. Tell me more.

I believe that bigly hilarity can be had from trolling Louis Buller Gohmert Jr. alone. And, I didn’t even know his middle name was “Buller” until I just looked it up. (Now I’m wondering whether or not that’s a Wikipedia troll.)

Anyway, given the rest of the cast of characters currently in the GOP, the sky’s the limit!

(You may want to consider moving/posting this to/on the Project Board.)

Yes I should probably

There's not much more to tell. I'm just not sure what format it should take, other than "pretending to be Republicans but accidentally telling the truth", and I don't have enough content.

Okay.

As far as format goes, a good starting place might be to mimic the Republican National Committee’s own website at https://gop.com/. (As I have zero knowledge of website construction, design, etc., I admit that that that may be easier said than done.)

Although there’s an obvious gold mine in material out there of the GOP’s own making, it’s going to be very difficult to achieve the level of subtlety needed for a first class troll.

I do, however, have a quite a number of raw ideas, and I’m sure many more will occur to me. Here’s a couple to start with:

Idea 1. Praise the union of poor, undereducated Republican voters, corporate elites, and the wealthy for recently passing massive tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy. (Doing this subtlety is going to be really hard.)

Idea 2. Thank America’s farmers for bearing the burden placed upon them by Trump’s Trade War, because it will ultimately help the recovery of our manufacturing sector. (Actually, on this one it should be pretty easy to achieve the right level of subtlety.)

Idea 3. Have all contributors use nom de plumes like “B. J. Ford,” where B. J. is actually Boris Joakim, and the last name is one of a prominent Republican politician, or serial killer.

Then after a little while, let the Russian names slip out.

Now then, if you’re looking for only finished content, please give us some idea of what your friend needs. For instance, is he/she looking for something in editorial format, blog posting format, something else? As I’ve already posted, I’m interested, but I’m also new to this sort of thing.

I didn’t realize this thing has been kicking around for about a year, until I found and read your old thread, as follows: http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php/topic,38216.0.html

I don’t know what the owner(s) of official.gop started with, but it doesn’t look like he/she/they have gotten very far with the site. So:

Idea 4. Provide links to news sites, etc., where Republicans themselves have made statements, or taken actions contrary to The Republicult™ party line, like the following:

Gowdy: I don't think Mueller probe is a witch hunt

As per this link: http://thehill.com/homenews/sunday-talk-shows/397087-gowdy-i-dont-think-mueller-probe-is-a-witch-hunt

Providing pertinent links to other sites should be easy, and it’s free, no fuss, high quality content.

Our nation was founded on a set of shared beliefs, and our values, by the grace of God, have made us the greatest country in the world.  Lately our culture has come under attack from outside, by a torrent of illegal aliens who steal our jobs, threaten our children, and endanger our very way of life.  But thanks to the strengthening of our borders, and extreme vetting of would-be immigrants, this tide is being stemmed.

Yet there is another threat which faces us today, one far more insidious.  Every year, four million people arrive in America, and are summarily granted citizenship, without so much as a pledge of allegiance.  These newcomers often take years to learn to speak and read our language, placing an enormous drain on our already overburdened educational system.  Even when they pretend to fit into our culture, they twist it in subtle and disastrous ways.  They disrespect our hallowed institutions, distort our language, commit obscenities, and even mock our religion.

Great strides have been made in preventing the influx of these invaders, but these measures are not always effective.  Yet there are those in our own government who want to make some of these measures illegal!  Your help is needed.  Defend our American way of life, and petition your representatives to continue to allow us to protect ourselves, by any means necessary.

I almost choked on bile until I realized you were making a submission. Like... shit, warn a person first.

It isn't exactly what I'm looking for, but I felt it shift a gear somewhere. I'm taking notes from all these suggestions, and they're all helpful.

And yes, someone should do something about this unchecked undocumented immigration from the spiritual plane.

This is even better, though in a very different vein.

I’m going on vacation tomorrow, so I’ll see what I can come up with here when aided by French wine and a beautiful lake beach.
