    The only thing I hate more than seeing a standard “MAGA” merch is seeing “TRUMP 2028” merch. It’s disturbing how many of those I’ve seen around since the last US election.

      The hats aren’t even of good quality. Most rip apart easily. Chinese-made hats are better than that.

      Also overpriced. I saw them for $15… seriously? In my country I can get better quality ones for €5.

        Where do you think Trump makes his hats? Also China can make good quality stuff but you have to pay for it. If you cheap out you get what you pay for.

          Oh, they know how to sell full price crap.

          To get quality you must have water proof deal on paper and constant vigilant quality control at your end.

            Or just buy brands popular with Chinese. It just takes research that no one is willing to do, then they complain that thing they ordered off AliExpress is crap.

              Bingo. I work with clothing and people like to complain about the generics, but if you get something above the absolute cheapest shirt we offer (go figure, it’s what most people go for), you’ll end up with something pretty nice.

              MAGA doesn’t care about quality. Like, at all. All of the customers I’ve gotten that are clearly on that side of the fence all want it cheap and fast. Who cares if it looks or feels good as long as you tick the box. They wouldn’t know taste if it threw up in their mouth.

      It’s equal parts disgusting and terrifying that Trump has those hats. He’s already proving through his actions that he doesn’t give a shit about our democracy - but having a hat that basically says “fuck you, I’m a dictator” is just so brazen.

      Why not? There are other Trumps who are eligible. If Junior runs, they don’t even need to change the banners or the hats much. They dont even need to hide it, they can have big “Donald Trump jr for President” banners still. Dad can go campaigning, and they can make perfectly clear who will make the decisions.

        I hate that you’ve given me one more plausible concern… this is all predicated on us even having elections in 2028

          There will be elections. There have to be, in order for the new Congress to be seated.

          The only question is how ratfucked they will be…
