It sounds great until you realise that they'd all just buy new merch, funnelling more money to Trump.
I don't think you're getting it. Trumpers will buy merch no matter what.
The idea is to wait until they have made enough "POTUS 47" merch, and then make Harris the 47th president just for a little bit.
Now all the Trump merch is wrong.
That's fine. Like sidewalk sellers at sports games and concerts, it's ok to spin up websites to sell Trump/Vance shit and donate that money to anything anti-Trump. Think bigger.
There's no doubt they'll keep buying, but they won't do a full replacement unnecessarily.
I think you're missing that it would be stuff that hasn't sold yet
That part is certainly a benefit.
