Real patriotism is buying American made products.

I ordered one the day after they dropped on the shop and I was still too late. Not expecting it till mid-september.
I’m not a hat guy but my MAGA neighbor is. This feels like it’ll be fun to wear while passing him on my daily walks.

This might seem like a small obvious thing but this is what happens when you hire competent staff. Conversely Trump’s entire administration was made up of lackeys and nincompoops; thats why they shut down the international network of CDC offices before COVID hit. This is what “elections have consequences means”, who do you want making decisions when it hits the fan.

Shitty quality MAGA hat making money for the Trump “legal” fund is $50 on the Trump store.
Hand-crafted made in America Harriz-Walz camo hat creating jobs in the U.S.A. is $40.

I like that a Chinese outfit (Hong Kong actually) is the source of the article about the hats being made in America rather than China.

Holy shit! The maga hats are made in china? I’m not surprised but I am astounded.

Some of the dumbest people are the ones (MAGA) who claim they only buy American-made, which is utter bullshit, and they know it. I can’t comprehend that statement every time I hear it.
I don’t know how that’s even possible. You cannot get away with most things that are made in China.
TV? China. Electronics? China. Food? China in many areas. Clothes? Definitely China if you shop at Walmart. Amazon? It’s like 70% Chinese sellers/manufacturers. Cars? Chinese parts.
When do you shove “I only buy American-made” in there?! Even if you had unlimited money, it would be quite exhausting to buy all USA made. Might as well just become a farmer and start growing your own food or be Amish. I BET THE SHOES & TOOLS THEY USE ARE SOURCED FROM CHINA! 🤣

Forget the hats, I want a restock of the childless cat lady mugs 🙁
I hate Trump with a passion, but misinformation of any kind is unproductive IMO. (Although I don’t doubt some trumpers buy knockoff hats from China)

The hat should have stitched on the back “This was actually made in America”

Is there a way to track your order of them?

I check Kamala’s site daily for restocked merch and they’re always sold out of whatever I want. I’ve decided to design my own and just make financial donations to the campaign.
I’ve got a pretty cool series of designs that I want to send to her team that they can have for free – anyone know who’s in charge?

I generally don’t get stuff like this beyond yard signs, but this and the Trump is a scab shirt are the first time I’ve ever wanted to drop $ on political apparel. Only reason I didn’t get the shirt was because it was a UAW store and I wanted my money to go to the campaign. Nothing against UAW itself.
shag-a-rug on
Yeah, you can order made in the USA stuff. It’s gonna be union, just a heads up. I have a lot of that shit. Honestly, it’s all i buy.
VictorChristian on
I just got invited to Amazon Vine (a program where you get free stuff from Amazon in exchange for honest reviews; they do get reported as income, tho). It’s basically names you’ve never heard of, like temu has. So, nearly 100% made in China.
Theres a clothing section and when sorted by Men’s clothing, it’s just pages and pages of maga crap. Every one of these things are Chinese made.
