Why is a "conservative cell carrier" even a thing…that has to exist… or exists… nah you know I don't actually wanna know…

Because religious conservatives are the easiest people to grift. Slap the word god or Jesus on something and they'll flock to it.

Just look at their description.  “America’s only Christian conservative wireless provider and our mission is to passionately defend our God-given Constitutional rights and freedoms while glorifying God.”

Cell phone providers and cell service has literally nothing to do with religion or defending rights and freedoms yet they throw that shit in because Christian conservatives are morons and it will get them to buy.

Chances are the creator of the company isn't even religious at all.

The biggest irony is, even as PM claims that none of their money goes to "woke", PM is a MVNO, which means it merely resells services from a "woke" big mobile company (I think it's T-Mobile in this case). So indirectly PM funnels money to T-Mobile, which then might donate some money to "woke" non-profits.
