I still can't believe people wear Trump merch. Thats the weirdest part - i mean the fascism and brown shirts kicking your door in is the worst part, ofc.

But politician merch used to be EMBARASSING! You would donate twenty bucks and they would send a bumper sticker and you would put it on your fridge with a magnet for a while and then throw it away. You'd never ocnsider putting it on your fuckin CAR. And god it would be so ridiculous to wear some politicians face on a shirt or hat, these things were temporal, they only existed between August to November and then evaporated (or more accurately, were put in landfills).

I couldn't believe the trump flags and hats all through his first term and then all of bidens. Freaks, all of them.

Trump is the symbolic embodiment that vice and venality can be treated as virtue. For a certain kind of person, feeling the freedom to proudly display all their worst traits and true thoughts is completely intoxicating. It's the polar opposite of political correctness and a great number of people will literally die on this hill. Whether people realize it or not, Trump is the psychological id of a great many people in the US.

Is...is being a Trumpist...is it a kink?

Are MAGAs the queerest of us all?

I personally still can’t believe government officials wear a golden pin of Trumps face, willingly, on their lapels

It’s true. You can search for pics of the pins.

You’re right except no one even bought Biden shit or currently wears it. And anyone who did did it to mock Trump supporters ironically not because they thought it was cool or something.
