Probably not that hard, but you don't want to be on the radar of these psychos.
I set up a table in front of my local post office with a "RECALL NEWSOM" sign and a tip jar. I'm not getting rich, but it pays for my weed and booze.
part of the problem with this is that Q chuds willing to give you money are more victims of this shit than perpetrators, and a lot of the money that you take from them is shit like their grandson's diabetes medicine money or whatever. so doing something like this basically makes you just as bad as the soulless grifters that are conning these people in the first place, which isn't a position i would want to be in at least, personally
My thought process about this (because honestly who HASN'T thought "damn I'd love to grift these dumbasses") is that you'd have to go through hoops to prevent the money from just being frozen/refunded until you verify whatever you're claiming. Things like GoFundMe wouldn't work specifically because of this - although I suppose if you don't tell a wild story and it doesn't hit the mainstream media, your chances of success are high.
PayPal would be an option, but you'd have to tell the idiots to mark it as a gift which would raise eyebrows. Bitcoin is too traceable via blockchain.
The only reason I haven't done it yet is because I've been openly communist for years and I'm sure some QAnon dipshit from my hometown would see a picture of me in a MAGA hat and go "he's lying!!!" lmao
Oh, that might work to be honest. Not sure how that would feasibly tie in with whatever GoFundMe/Patreon/"pls PayPal me I need money urgently" story you'd tell though. My best plan was to get three or four of my friends to dress up in like Clinton (at the time. Biden might work better now) hoodies and stage being jumped by them via a dark night and our shitty doorbell camera's recording quality - then go to like one of the slightly more rabid MAGA subreddits and post the video & a pic of me some fake cuts/bruises claiming I needed to pay for medical expenses.
So you'd need to set up a small shop at some point to sell, like custom stickers and hats, maybe a few T-shirts/hoodies.
Start your mad ramblings on twitter. Either go with a steady drip throughout the week and a post long (minimum of an hour) video (from your secure prepper bunker in an undisclosed location) that pretty much just rehashes all the week's ramblings or a few shorter (not more than 15 minute) videos in between the tweets that just start from a few of the last few days tweets and just shoots for the moon.
Set some goals that you keep to yourself. When you hit x number of twitter followers or average view per video in a certain time (or something else) ... you just go dark for a few weeks. When you come back, you talk about going on a "recon" or "meeting with a source" and go back to the regular production schedule.
Repeat for as long as you can stomach it or aren't outed.
I think it's going to be harder with Q going silent. There's a well established ecosystem already there of folks with a history of interpretation and followers, and I don't think you'll be able to get in there. And they've got good reason to go after a new people in that field.
Merch, though, should be easy enough. "Save the children", various stolen images of Trump with WWG1WGA, baby clothes with Q slogans, etc.
