A bizarre fundraising email for President Donald Trump threatened to sic ICE on MAGA donors who do not respond to a survey confirming they are American citizens. The latest appeal for money from the Never Surrender, Inc PAC was sent this week with the subject line “Are you an illegal alien?” It has been slammed as outlandish, even by political fundraising email standards.

Ugh, god, the graphic design is terrible.
Probably the same reason scam emails have spelling mistakes, gotta connect to the IQ level or your desired target market.
They have a lot of boomers in their list.
These days? Any writing that doesn’t feel sterilized and robotic gives me faith that it was written by a human being. But there are plenty of ways to achieve that without spelling and grammar errors.
The graphic design of MAGA will be studied at some point. I think it has the effect of looking like some “Everyman” did it themselves. Who’s to say whether this effect is intentional psyops or just the result of distancing themselves from people who actually practiced and studied an art, trade, or discipline, but this shit worked on a certain slice of the population pre-MAGA, too.
I think it’s because following some actual principles of art theory is too liberal-coded, so it affirms that the digital equivalent of crayon scribbles by a drunk asshole is superior.
