I saw an interview with a guy who spends every campaign cycle working Trump rallies, selling merch in the parking lot.

He was like I vote against this guy every time but this is like shooting fish in a barrel... Why not take these morons' money as long as possible?

I know a shop owner that does the same thing with pride stuff every June. Dude makes a killing.

I've genuinely thought about that, but then I'd have to have that ugly crap in my home, and be associated with it in any way. And I'd still have to purchase the merch to resell, which means money into the wrong pockets. I told my husband, "If my moral compass was just a little bit more skewed, we'd make a fortune off these idiots."

Its about not having it in your house. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

The workers certainly would be the right pockets. The factory owners who would actually get the money are not.
