Damn, this is real. I was working Dollar General during this 4th and literally every person working there was personally and negatively impacted by Trumpistan but we still had to sell that crap. My boss was pissed (he is a gay man who lost his trans sister to violence associated with MAGA). This wasnt just 250 4th of july shit, it was straight MAGA.
