Cards Against Humanity Launches Funniest, Maybe Most Effective PAC
The company behind the popular game Cards Against Humanity wants to beat Elon Musk at his own game. In response to Musk’s America PAC offering to pay individuals $47 to recruit swing-state voters to sign an online petition pledging their support to Donald Trump, Cards Against Humanity has launched its own PAC to get cash into the hands of blue-leaning voters. On Tuesday, the company announced they are looking to target eligible voters who didn’t cast a ballot in the 2020 election. In order to qualify for an up to $100 payment, the individual must be willing to write an apology, and they also must publicly post “Donald Trump is a human toilet” on social media.Voters in seven swing states, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, will receive the biggest payouts. According to their website, over 1,700 voters have “apologized” so far as of Friday afternoon. The Trump campaign disparaged the effort to The New York Times. “Kamala has the backing of irrelevant card games,” said Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for the Trump campaign. This wouldn’t be the first time the card company has antagonized Musk or Trump. In September, the Chicago-based company filed a $15 million civil lawsuit against Musk’s SpaceX. They allege that SpaceX has been encroaching and trespassing on their property near the border in Texas, which they purchased in 2017 to block Trump from building his border wall on the land. On the website for the Cards Against Humanity PAC, the company says it is explicitly “exploiting a legal loophole to pay America’s blue-leaning non-voters,” seemably the same loophole that Musk is using in his most recent data-collection scheme with America PAC. “This whole thing should probably be illegal—so quick, give us your money before they change the law!” You can view Cards Against Humanity’s PAC here.
