    Not once in my life have I ever even concieved the possibility of buying and much less wearing a political candidate’s apparel, I find that just so weird

      I saw a clever, snarky shirt that I thought might be amusing to wear.

      But yeah. It’s weird alright. Especially since you know they’ll be always wearing it. (Or another maga shirt.)

        I’m curious what the shirt said now 🤔 Care to share?

        I also stumbled on a yt video the other day of some guy reviewing a Trump and a Harris rally side by side, which already is fucked, but he had one good point; The Trumpers are all about their merch. It’s like it’s their chance to cosplay. I haven’t figured out what to make of it.

          I honestly forget where I saw it, it was one of the “Isn’t it past your jail time?” variants.

          It’s a cult. The trappings are to mark the in-group, further insulating their hysteria from any criticism from the out-group.
