Have you seen Trump garb and collectibles showing up as castoffs yet?

Asked by Jeruba (56109points) August 1st, 2023

Trump T-shirts, say, appearing in dollar stores, rummage sales, Salvation Army donations.

Schlock MAGA merchandise in yard sales. Objects of Trump veneration at the curb with a “FREE” sign on them.

Trump-headed coins and medallions sneaked into Halloween treat bags.

A red baseball cap abandoned on the bus.

Seems inevitable, doesn’t it?

From what I’m reading, the base is doubling down for him and against his persecution! I don’t see MAGA gear being disposed of yet.

I have several friends who were very loyal to him. They’ve stopped wearing his hat & shirt & 1 even had a wall hanging that has magically disappeared. But…NO…I’ve not found any in yard sales or whatever!!!

Nobody here bought any of that garbage in the first place.

I did see a sewer opening painted with “Make America Grate Again”

@LadyMarissa seriously, who would buy a USED Maga cap or shirt? You don’t know what diseases it might have.

@elbanditoroso I saw that on a block of cheddar!

@elbanditoroso and a used hat might have hair bugs in it.

Not yet. I don’t think that will happen so fast.

Not yet…but I’m just lucky I live in a county where so far I haven’t had a single incident yet of seeing somebody wear a MAGA hat in a public space or private.

In nearby DC though yes. Twice or thrice.

^^ I’ve never seen a trump hat or shirt or anything either.

There was a “New England for Trump” store in my town that went out of business the beginning of the year. Sign on the door said, “Keep fighting! Come see us at the conventions.” — ‘conventions’?!?

Other than that, there’s three houses in my town that still sport Trump signs, flags, and banners.

We bought several items when he won, as collectibles.

People here bought a ton of merch, even socks. Haven’t seen any for sale though or any worn since the Jan 6th debacle.

They have fucking entire stores here that sell nothing but Trump merchandise. They are still in business and business is a booming.

I don’t see as many MAGA hats as before, but I still see people wearing one once in a while. Maybe I see one once every couple of months on someone’s head.

I wonder if I went to the Republican Club monthly meeting here what I would see?

About a1/4 mile from my house a guy has a big Trump 2024 flag on a big tall flag post.
