Those hats are so cringe.
I get that they changed the A for America to a Maple leaf but still.
Make up your own stupid slogan.
Make America Go Away
Make America gay again
My Americans Guilty Again
Lost liberal decade
Axe the tax
Putting Canada first, for a change
Boots, not suits
Hug a thug (disastrous hug a thug policies contextually)
Slogans is half the job from their perspective. They just haven’t found one that’s stuck.
That’s because MAGA is all marketing and no actual substance. At least not any substance that’s not based on their marketing.
Every time PP talks I vomit a little in my mouth. He’s a disingenuous fuckwit that if the population had half a brain they would see right through it.

I feel the same cringe from Doug Ford. Who wears this hat just for the votes. I hate conservatives.
