Serialized fiction Twitter account skewers the Trump campaign

[Saviolo]

In case you haven't seen this, a fellow named Owen Ellickson has been writing an ongoing fictional account of the inner workings of the Trump campaign in 140 characters (or less!) at a time, and it's hysterical.

You can find him here: https://twitter.com/onlxn

There's an ongoing plot involving Ann Coulter, Ted Nugent, and Alex Jones trying to blow up the US Supervolcano, Roger Ailes is a horrible squid beast, Paul Ryan is deeply depressed at his own lack of principles, Kellyanne Conway only refers to Trump as "it," Boehner and Carson are playing detective to find out who leaked the tax documents... so many threads going on at once, and it's hilarious.

There's a LOT to it, now. You'll have to go back quite a ways. It's divided up into threaded "chapters." Definitely worth the read.

2. My pleasure

I've been reading it for a couple weeks now, and I was a little surprised I hadn't seen anyone pick it up here.

3. Also, just wanted to add:

He also does fundraisers (since he started getting all of this attention) called "Give More Than Trump." Riffing on the fact that Trump says he's donated OH SO MUCH money to charitable organizations, but it turns out to have been only about $10,000 and only after pressure was put on him.

He's done a couple so far, and each time he raises lots more than $10k. He just started a new round benefiting RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network), America's largest anti-sexual violence organization.

Thanks for the thread and the info about his fundraising.

5. One more thing to add:

He's very nimble. He caught those very strange (and misspelled) tweets from Dobbs and Hannity and added them to the narrative right away. He's made fun of just about all of those big alt-right figures.
