    I am... concerned and confused. They're ACTUALLY trying to co-opt the blue MAGA shtick? Do... Do they believe in literally anything? I assumed libs at the very least believed in "trump bad" but... what the fuck

    Is this what is was like back in 2016 when Trump supporters started referring to themselves as "Deplorables"?

      At least that kind of makes sense, because the idea is that an out of touch old ghoul is calling you mean names so it doesn't mean anything and you can just be proud to have upset the out of touch old ghoul. This is more like if trump people had started calling themselves cucks because that was what they were using to insult their opposition.

      Yes. They have no actual driving beliefs other than making money and getting power. They know that idiots will buy this merch, and beg to do it.

      People who spend every dollar they have on stupid shit have all the influence because it's mutually beneficial. Obvious shit like this attracts suckers and discourages people who see politics as a struggle over resources instead of a lifestyle brand.

      "Leftists" rushing to defend AOC's fun merch drops are the same suckers, and a big reason why popular progressive causes go nowhere.
