      This is the timeline where capitalism heralds in technocratic fascist dystopia. There was never any alternative.

      You can thank conservatism and neoliberalism for spending decades and trillions building a more advanced and pervasive surveillance state than Hitler could have ever dreamed, though… There’s nothing more free and democratic than constructing big brother for fascism, then handing them the keys.

        technocratic fascist dystopia

        Technocratic is such a high hope. I like to think of it as capitalcratic fascism, or just capital-fascist. Rule by power of wealth.

          Kleptocratic Kakistocracy.

          All the immoral, criminal idiots are in charge, have no idea how to do anything effectively other than privatize the state and funnel wealth into the pockets of themselves and their buddies.

          But also fascist.

          And also theocratic.

        That’s really an effective contraceptive still.

        Dude pulls out a Trump condom he’s not getting laid.

                The video? Channel 5 / Andrew is probably one of the best journalists out there today. This isn’t satire, it’s someone who legitimately went to a Trump rally, gave people a mic, and this is what they said

    I’d like to believe musicians are smarter than to but Trump’s bullshit, being artists and all. Maybe it’s just for those grifter ‘musicians’ trying to virtue signal to their marks? Or, ew, the stupid family of musicians that will get stupid trump branded shit.

      No, this is for two sets of people- ignorant country music players (so just country players) and those dudes in the bands on stage at churches. No one else is this stupid.

        Who this is actually for:

        Money laundering. Just like every single one of these scams. It’s all money laundering.

      Here is a screenshot of the godforsaken guitar so people don’t have to give that site views:

      guitar with ugly eagle painted on it in top panel. Same guitar with hideously ugly Trump signing it

      Image transcription:
      4 panels
      Top right is a regular looking guitar with the ludicrous name “God Bless the USA guitar” for $1000.
      The bottom right is a bright red electric guitar for $1,500.
      Guitar with ugly eagle in flight spanning 75% of it, a US flag filling the remaining 25%, is in top left panel: $1,250.
      Same guitar with hideously ugly Trump signing it in bottom left panel: $10,250.

      Gibson has sued everyone who came close to their body style. They did win back in the day over the “open book” headstock (the mustache looking top). They’re super litigious. I don’t see them winning this for a variety of reasons, number one being that I don’t think there are really guitars.

      I love how Mr. America First keeps endorsing inferior shit made overseas. This is one hundred percent one of the hundreds of LP knockoffs that you can get for a couple of hundred bucks apiece if you buy in bulk on Alibaba with garbage pickups, sharp frets, and terrible glue joints. Probably an extra hundred bucks for the inlay and “paint job”.

      Except I bet they paid for a couple of them and that’s all they actually had made. One to show, one to put up on their wall, and the rest are “sold” and never fulfilled with a kickback to the grifter in chief. If someone actually pays the $11,000 or whatever for one with Trump’s signature they’ll order a few with the signature already stamped over the clear coat (not actually signed! shocker!) for the same couple of hundred bucks, kick back 30% to trump, and keep $6000 per idiot who wants to put that on their wall.

      Edit: What in the chicken fried fuck is a “Trumpbucker” pickup?
