Weird clothing line seems to fetishize Jan. 6 insurrection

I had not noticed these ads until a day or so ago; has anyone else? This clothing line seems to take the rag-tag look of the right-wing rioters and romanticize or glorify it, with not only tattered American flag symbols but imagery that hearkens back to the crusades, for crying out loud. The "tactical face masks" are downright scary. Just goes to show there's a buck to be made off anything, no matter how disgraceful. The trotting out of this line also hints that "lifestyle" and play-acting is a big part of the appeal for these hypocritical posers.

Yes,...but only to mitigate potential legal issues were someone to point the finger his way and shout instigator and co-conspirator of the 1/6/2021 Capitol Hill building and grounds storming, ransacking, and insurrection.

‘Hypocritical posers’ is a perfect description or change the ‘p’ to an ‘L’ and that would work too!

I've ordered from other Chinese companies and service was excellent, but this seems to be the other side of the coin.

And as has also been often pointed out, a contribution to DU not only gets you a shiny Member star, it also makes ads disappear like magic.

IF they could afford it. Let's hope it's a fast moving trend and is outta here SOON.
