Look, I'm not one to say much about publications taking some sort of controversy and turning it into merch (we've done it a bunch), but generally speaking, if the message of your merch is "we support fascist insurrection," you might just be the fucking problem.

What's funny is, on first look I figured the "Appeal to Law" shirt was a criticism of his malfeasance. Not until I saw who was selling it did I realize it was supposed to be a statement in support.

There’s a difference between being critical and being supportive of power and if your publication’s purpose is the latter we just call that propaganda.

They know their audience well. Every disgraceful event is an opportunity to make a buck. They’re all fleecing the same cult.

In the early 70s, Mad did a guide to political types, from extreme left to extreme right, listing defining traits (every single one had "Distrust Nixon"). One of the far-right traits was "Wears Spiro Agnew wristwatches for the wrong reason." Same energy.

It used to be this was the kind of incendiary junk sold via mail order ads run in the National Review. Now they just sell it themselves directly.
