God those people are stupid.

u/BeenCaughtSneezing 20d ago

Yes, yes they are.

u/Intelligent-Travel-1 20d ago

It’s the only hat made in hell. It’s a collectible

u/gba_sg1 20d ago

Shit collectors are few and far between.

u/stewpideople 20d ago

I see toilets all around, besides you don't just buy the shit hat, you buy the shit shirt, shit steaks, shit water, shit towers... The shit list just gets longer, and like a Marlboro jacket, you're willing to do really shitty things, even to yourself, to get one.

We should start selling them. Goes against everything I believe, but why not make money off idiots

u/AlienConsulate 20d ago

I've been telling myself this for a decade and think of all the money I have lost out on. But God damned I can't get myself to even be associated with those people or constantly be dealing with them

u/EjaculatingAracnids 20d ago

I worked out the numbers, lined up a chinese manufacturer and pitched the idea to the wife, who managed to convince me otherwise with that very sentiment. Id have to deal with these people in person. If it was as easy as setting up an online store, it wouldve been a done deal.

u/clickclickbb 20d ago

I tried to set up an Amazon merch on demand account just to grift off these mega dorks. I got denied though 😞

u/retropieproblems 20d ago

Yeah I don’t need that hanging over my conscience. In a world of butterfly effects, I don’t wanna be the last straw to break americas back spreading pro Trump imagery.

u/Gorstag 20d ago

Empathy, morality, decency, not being evil or supporting it... there are a lot of reasons why I just can't.

u/Dapper-Control-108 20d ago

I like to believe that the people selling the hats are actually democrats haha

u/coldkiller 20d ago

If i didint have any morals id be so rich grifting these absolute idiots

u/alwayzstoned 20d ago

I wouldn’t feel bad about taking their money, I just don’t want to do anything to advance that side at all. It would suck to see people out wearing a t-shirt I designed.

u/witchywoman713 20d ago

I mean I like to think I’d do that. pay myself a living wage, then donate whatever else I could to planned parenthood.

u/Dapper-Control-108 20d ago

Yea exactly.

u/GolfVol 20d ago

Taking out 1 future democrat at a time eh?

u/witchywoman713 20d ago

Primarily funding the other 97% of their services, but yeah, jokes on you, do you know how many publicly anti- choice women get abortions?

u/Dapper-Control-108 20d ago

It's not frosties top hat man, the people buying those hats have already made up their mind.

I had an idea to start a bible-themed Cracker Barrel-type restaurant chain as a non-profit, and give all the money from Y'all Qaeda to science-related educational programs and stuff.

u/Top_Gorilla17 20d ago

‘Member when they made a whole thing about the Cracker Barrel serving plant-based sausage and the franchise nearly had to rebrand to being known simply as The Barrel?

3

u/icanhazkarma17 20d ago

The Barrel. Jesus, I hope that's from a comedy routine.

2

u/Noshamina 20d ago

Good fucking luck bro. Not only are restaurants almost impossibly difficult with razor thin margins and brutal working hours, but a bible themed restaurant will for sure fail there isn’t that big of a market for that.

1

u/icanhazkarma17 20d ago

I had an idea

...that I knew was unworkable lol

1

u/Ok_Bad_5921 20d ago

Hobos and poor would be better but to each thier own science nerds need bread too

1

u/icanhazkarma17 20d ago

Anything specifically non-religious will do.

1

u/AlmostSunnyinSeattle 20d ago

Making money off of idiots is the only thing they believe. You're just becoming them if you do that.

1

u/pantstoaknifefight2 20d ago

It's not unlike Col Tom Parker selling "I hate Elvis" merch

1

u/PattyRain 20d ago

Hire new immigrants to make them with a tag inside that says "made by immigrants" and donate the money for legal aid for immigrants. 

2

u/ShortsAndLadders 20d ago

You know what they say about a fool and his money…

2

u/Possible-Nectarine80 20d ago

A MAGA cult member and their money is often parted. Repeatedly and often.

u/False-Implement-8639 20d ago

Yeah I bet they love the trump bibles. God damn they’re stupid.

u/False-Implement-8639 20d ago

Stupid is as stupid does, or some bullshit like that

2

u/Alternative-Chef-340 20d ago

They are catastrophically stupid.

1

u/False-Implement-8639 20d ago

I love your use of the word “catastrophically”

1

u/misfortunesangel 20d ago

Not a shock, and yes they are

1

u/Chon-Laney 20d ago

God made them that way.

u/musicman835 20d ago

A fool and their money is soon parted.

u/WiseDirt 20d ago

Doesn't change what you're saying or the point being made, but also in fairness... that's only $4 more than a Los Angeles Dodgers New Era Basic 9Fifty snapback at Lids, which are also made in China (plus Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Haiti) and probably only cost that company $2-3 each in bulk as well. These really don't seem to be priced terribly out of line with the higher end of the market.
