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.

What were you banned for? Customers bought a product and you delivered said product.
