Tenchu's Thoughts - I Think I Just Got Trolled (Follow-up to "Trump Supporters Are Cucks")

There seems to be a reason why "Cucks For Trump" didn't become a nationwide trend. Apparently the only proof of the "JD sperm cup" holders are the original six (or so) photos:

Tenchu's Thoughts - Trump Supporters Are Cucks. I Have Proof.

Now Snopes is expressing their doubts:

No Proof Trump Supporters Carried Jars of Fake Vance Semen at Rallies (Snopes)

You can read the Snopes article for yourself (or don't if you think opening up Snopes allows the so-called dEeP sTaTe to install malware on your system).

But it basically says that the photos came from a mysterious account that is also responsible for posting pictures of Trump supporters sporting T-shirts saying, "Real Men Wear Diapers."

Snopes also put forth some theories as to what happened, which I will copy-n-paste here because I believe the last one is the most likely:

*******
First, the photos could have depicted an actual phenomenon — people buying a JD Vance Full Family Kit from some vendor unrelated to any effort to generate headlines. In this scenario, someone else would likely have photographed people with the products.

Second, the photos could have been entirely staged — photographs taken of and by people dressed as Trump supporters who went to his rallies to make Trump supporters look "weird."

Finally, it could have been some combination of those two — the photos could depict actual Trump supporters who legitimately purchased JD Vance Full Family kits unironically, but did so from someone operating in bad faith with the intent to make them look foolish.
*******

I wish I could hear from those who were depicted in these photos, but I could understand why they'd be completely reluctant to speak out.

Either way, I think I fell for a clever misinformation stunt. Props to the guy who did it, though. He's definitely a master baiter ...
