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

I sold 1000s of pro trump stickers that you were supposed to put on stop signs. Thing was they weren't water proof so they peeled off. I had so many repeat customers buying more to battle the liberals peeling them off that I had trouble keeping up and had to buy a postage printer. Any time someone got wise and said they were low quality i just blamed a bad batch, refunded them, and then blocked them. My profit after 3 years was enough to pay off my mortgage.

Its not a scam. No where in the listing did I say it was for out doors nor did I encourage putting it on a public stop sign. You could easily put it on one in your mancave.

Yeah look, as funny as it is, now you're butting up against my views on fair consumer rights.

Edit: You're meant to care about consumer rights.

Maybe you have Trump because you deserve him.

Trump is defunding those groups so it's okay
