I hope this isn’t the next “basket of deplorables” that we hear about for years

    For a few years now I’ve been pretty sure I could retire comfortably from my job if I’d just buy a cricut or similar and jump on the maga grift train.

    I’d have a big hateful etsy store with stickers, flags, yard signs (of course - honestly would probably be the hottest sellers) and shit marketed to magas, the alt-right, and republicans. 3% patches, gadsen flag mechandise, the whole works. Given how they like to festoon everything they own with their asshattery I feel really sure I’d be raking it in hand over fist.

    “Your neighbors probably can’t read your handwritten signs about Biden and the gays - select one of our pre-crafted yard signs or submit your own custom message…”

    Almost literally the only thing stopping me is that I don’t know how I’d sleep at night enabling so much bullshit.

    I have no use for Ramaswamy, but one would assume that a former U.N. ambassador would be more diplomatic, right?

    Edit2: removed Vivek channel video, does not include as much as The Hill video, IMO

    This reminds me of the time when Trump did something similar, to a lesser extent…

    I think this will help Vivek, standing out from the others.

    Rising with The Hill had a talk about this speech, I thought it was insightful, IMO:
