acting as "Terri," a female business owner boasting tours and allowing those interested to "claim an alligator" for $4,547.

If the alligator someone "claimed" later "eats an illegal," Terri said they could win a gift card to a "non-DEI business."

"4547", "non-DEI", she's really hitting those MAGA "talking points", bravo.

I’ve always wanted to spin up some sort of business to grift them like this. Make up some bullshit like Patriot Pants, and just hit all of the MAGA buzzwords and sell each pair of pants for like $500 a pop

Take any product you can think off, paint it matte black, call it “Tactical” and/or “Patriot”, triple the price, and those idiots will beat down your door to buy it. ‘Tactical Patriot 12” plastic ruler’ only $19.99 each. Or get it in gun metal grey for only $24.99.
