Party leader doubling down on it:

Leave it to the libertarians to decry kids eating quinoa and sushi as extravagant while they feast on the finest imported American brainworms.

    Money printing idea: make a bunch of shitty packaged food and call it “anti-woke” and say dumb shit about snowflake millennials and 5G in your ads.

            I saw a video of a guy (not necessarily a chud) who stuck a stick under the trunk door of his cybertruck claiming this initial test would prove how safe the trunk door was; it snaps, and he still sticks his finger under the trunk door and gets it broken.

            People would absolutely buy this gun and think it works as advertised.

                Part of what’s funny about the video is that he was trying to showcase a software update Tesla released, the purpose of which was specifically for making it safe to close the trunk on your fingers. He tests it with a cucumber and banana and it actually looks reasonably safe but then he does the test with his finger. Not only does the test fail but the trunk won’t open so he’s stuck there shocked in obvious pain and can’t get his finger back out.

                It doesn’t actually break but he shows it afterward and it’s clearly smashed with bruises and a decent sized cut from the trunk’s edge. He comes back and has some excuse from tesla about it being because he tested with veggies first and the software thought he was trying to shut it with something blocking it because of the previous repeated attempts. He actually starts to test it again with his finger saying “This time it should hurt way less…” but he can’t do it, he keeps pulling back right before it closes in what I might have said was finally a tiny bit of sense, only it’s an instinctive reaction and he can’t help it. He concludes that we’ll just have to trust it from the last banana test.

      If I had any porky spirit in me, I would sell “historical” meal kits of SS soldier rations to CHUD families.

      “Tired of woke food? Want to eat like a real, big, bad man? Start your meal kit subscription to Goebbel up! You and your family will eat REAL food for REAL men!”

        Lol, they do make “Doomsday prepper” food buckets that you can buy that costs way more than the shitty food in them. They are essentially MRE kits. I know we are all riffing on the idea but like, there really is a market for it I think. At this point in my life, I’m all for a “grift and go” on stupid food buckets if others wanna get on board too.
