Robert Zeidman, a computer forensics expert who voted for Trump twice, did just that
It’s heartwarming to see that there are still some Trump voters willing to set partisanship aside for the sake of personal greed.
Personal greed was probably why he voted for Trump both times anyway.
"look sure he says some mean tweets but taxes and immigrants, etc."
Yep. "All I know is my taxes are lower."
And probably can't comprehend that Trump's tax cut expiration was purposely set during the next administration as a political ploy
“And if the minorities, women, queer, immigrants are losing their livelihood in the process, that’s just icing on the cake”
That could be something they really want, that could be an added bonus for them or they could just not give a fuck about any of those people dying in a ditch.
It's a big tent party!
You can either get eaten by leopards or the capitalism machine. Sometimes one feeds the other.
Is it greed, or the incessant need to prove someone on the internet wrong?
Wrong, Bonehead!

“When I called the challenge Prove Mike Wrong, I wanted people to validate my own false opinions, not actually prove me wrong.” - Mike, probably
Sounds like Mike has the burden of proof all wrong. If he says that he has data that proves something, it's his job to present a representative sample of that data, to explain what it represents, and why it means what he thinks it means.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In 2021, MyPillow founder Mike Lindell offered $5 million to anyone who could disprove his claim that he had data showing voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
Lindell, a prominent election denier and staunch supporter of former president Donald Trump, claimed to have data showing Chinese interference in the 2020 race.
If someone could “Prove Mike Wrong,” as the challenge was called, and show the data was unrelated to the election, they would get the payout, Lindell said ahead of an August 2021 “cyber symposium” held in South Dakota where contestants would review the files.
Robert Zeidman, a computer forensics expert who voted for Trump twice, did just that, a federal judge in Minnesota determined Wednesday, upholding a previous ruling from a private arbitration panel.
In recent years, Lindell has been embroiled in legal and financial troubles, including a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems over false election claims.
To receive the challenge’s $5 million prize, Lindell asked his symposium participants to prove that the data “unequivocally does NOT reflect information related to the November 2020 election.”
The original article contains 714 words, the summary contains 180 words. Saved 75%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Why did the trump supporter prove him wrong? Or has his personal greed risen above his support, and the realisation that that support meant ignoring truth?
It sounds like that was his field so this was probably the equivalent to scratching a scratchie for them. And once you've found out you've won $5 million I suppose it's hard to pass up.
Again? I thought he already won the 5mil in court
He won 5 million in arbitration. This was a court saying that yes, it really is enforceable.
Good Lord. I wonder if it ever occurs to this guy that aligning himself with Rapey McTinyD was a bad idea...how much meth/crack did he do, anyway?
