I'm pretty sure most of them got left holding the bag on a massive amount of anti-biden merch that became worthless when he dropped out, which is hilarious.

Maybe the yahoos selling stuff in physical stores in the Bible belt, but most merch seller are ai twitter bots that just slap shitty logos and slogans on a white t shirt and spam links in every Elon post. Those guys aren't losing anything.

Most of it's cheap drop shipping stuff, so I think a lot of people made it out of that market just fine.

Did they though? Most of those t-shirt people aren't ordering big batches, no? Like sometimes they have t-shirts for sale that reference a major event like a day or two after it happens. There is no way those are large batch runs of tshirts.

Now, the GOP buying up large runs for specific merch and holding the bag... that I could see. Maybe specific vendors doing bigs runs for like the RNC could also be true, but they at least were able to unload some of their stock there before the other shoe dropped.

The political version of the pandemic hoarders left holding pallets of sanitizer and toilet paper

I actually just read an article today that the anti-biden stuff still sells really well at the rallies. Fool and his money, ya know?

It's not worthless, they're still flying the brandon flags just as high as ever.

In my area, they exclusively drive around in 1980s motor homes that are barely hanging in there mechanically, and look like they've been through a flood or two. Alternatively, they have a large van of similar vintage and an enclosed trailer that was once used to haul around lawn care equipment. I don't think these people are rich lol

Not just MAGA merch, the same people selling MAGA merch are now dropshipping stuff from Etsy to sell to liberals.

I saw someone sold like 140 coffee cups for 20$ each that just said "I have a concept of a plan."

Another had sold like 800 of the same phrase, on a hat, clearly made in China and dropshipped and sold via Etsy.

liberal idiots are buying up the same chinese garbage that MAGA's do :(.
