America in the 2020s: Finding Incredible New Ways to Rip Off Morons

No surprise: this hat is “free,” but only if the customer is willing to pay ridiculous shipping and handling fees. And for every 100 people who make a purchase, there will be at least another 30 or 40 who buy additional products that enable them to display their hate and stupidity to their friends and neighbors.

This whole subject makes me think about one of the most repulsive facets of American society: its constant vigilance on finding new ways to fleece idiots.

Are the people who make these hats, flags, and signs actually Trump supporters? Maybe.  But more probably they’re opportunists who have tripped across the latest way to extract cash from fools.

Fox News does this with incredible precision, but seriously, that level of sophistication isn’t necessary when you’re targeting the very dregs.
