    I’ve purchased ecstasy that had Tesla logos, and I hate Elon Musk. Pretty sure Tesla didn’t personally benefit from that transaction, so I didn’t give it much thought beyond noticing the novelty.

    If my dealer had told me “Trump heads are fire, yo”, I probably would have tried one of those.

    Buying pills is a very non-political act, even when they look like Trump. The only thing that really matters are whether or not they are cut with uppers or downers to match your preference. If someone ends up in the hospital due to a Trump head pill, it says absolutely nothing about their political affiliation.

      Agreed with you, except with the “buying pills is a non-political act”. Buying pills is a political act of freedom and body and mind self determination.

      Name something assosiated with trump that wasn’t a total scam. Even ifhe wasn’t directly involved. Anything assosiated with his image or likeness. Name anything at all that was properly handled.

      Now you want to take that concept, and apply it to drugs, which when mishandled, can kill you.

      I’ll wait for your example.

        The big baby Trump inflatable that they use at a bunch of the protests springs to mind. Home Alone is decent. Every single Saturday Night Live parody of the man. Kathy Griffin’s severed head photo shoot.

        His likeness has been memefied for nearly every purpose, and not all of those purposes have anything to do with his organization or reputation directly.

      Everything assosiated with trump falls to shit. It’s all inferior quality. Most of the trump shit they sell has nothing to do with trump. I was at a county fair in 2021 and there was a guy selling trump merchandise on one side and Biden merchandise on the other.

      You think trump or biden got paid for that? Or did he just silkscreen a bunch of t-shirts and flags?

      Trump himself doesn’t have to be assosiated with something to be a scam. When scammers know they can rip you off because you’re easily scammed, and you’re silently telling them that you’re the type to be easily scammed, thats the only inevitable outcome when you buy anything trump related. Now you’re mixing it with drugs that when something is wrong can kill you.

      How can I expect any other result?
